FreeBiz Convertible Laptop Backpack - 17.3 Inch Business Briefcase & Messenger Bag for Men & Women | Water-Resistant Work Bag for Office, Travel & College (Black)

I have tried numerous messenger bags and backpacks over the years but wasn't able to find one that quite fit the bill for me. I am very active and take the bus, and frequently need to change clothes and appear professionally. I also carry a wide variety of things with me, including laptop, several notebooks pens, chargers and cables, my Bible, lunch, and my extra clothes, so I needed something that would have enough space to carry everything without sacrificing on comfort, organization, or durability. This bag delivers on all fronts. The straps are some of the most comfortable I've ever used and, should you so wish to carry it by hand, it also comes with both a top side strap (if using it as a backpack) and two convertible briefcase handles that clip together for convenience and security.As far as organization you get two nice front pockets to work with for storing small items, ie sunglasses and keys, and another that is great for cords, portable chargers, a small notebook with pens, or other light items. The medium sized compartment (which also contains a small mesh zipper area) is great for several notebooks, pens, and whatever else you might want quick access to. The middle, main compartment is very large and will easily fit several more notebooks, a 15in laptop (with good padding), mouse and accessories, and a few folders with room to spare. At the very back of the bag is a large mesh zipper pocket that works great for clothes, and I also manage to keep my bluetooh over ear headphones and an umbrella tucked nicely away at the front of the pocket with no issues if the mesh is zipped up. Do keep in mind that if you overload this bag it will be a little heavy on the shoulders as a backpack, but nothing I haven't experienced with other bags with much less comfortable straps. Adjusting the carry position is also very quick and easy to do.The bag is made of nice material that shows no signs of tearing or ripping any time soon even with all the grab and go use it's had so far. (Including running to catch busses or quickly swinging it over my shoulders when fully loaded) It also has strong metal zippers with leather pull tabs that add a great amount of security and quality to the feel of the bag. The clips on the straps that convert this bag into a backpack are also spring loaded, which makes them not only more durable but convenient as well. All in all it takes me less than a minute to convert my bag into a backpack from messenger style and vise versa.I highly recommend this bag to anyone who has been struggling to find something that is affordable, but also comes with a good amount of space and organization, or who are looking for convenience and flexibility without sacrificing quality or durability. Will definitely be spreading the word about this one. Would order again.
