Amazon.com Product Description
This Rothco heavyweight classic messenger bag is spacious and tough. The bag is made of heavy-duty 100-percent cotton canvas, with an olive-green color that helps it blend in a crowd. The bag also includes a large main compartment that holds everything from books to clothes to the latest government agent hardware. And thanks to the 2-inch wide adjustable shoulder strap, the bag is easy and comfortable to carry. Other features include two inside and two outside pockets, an inside zipper pouch, and brass hardware. The messenger bag measures 15 by 11 by 6 inches (W x H x D).
Comment: It's an outstanding bag for the price. Heavyweight material and stitching that seems built to last. Two outer pockets with clever hidden snaps. To more pockets protected by the flap, which velcros shut. And a roomy interior with an extra zippered pocket inside.
Two small criticisms: the bag is more shapeless, lumpier than the photo suggests. And while I like that the fasteners are hidden and obviate the need for annoying straps, neither the snaps nor the velcro are as strong as they ought to be.

Summary: Decent, but surprisingly overrated 2010-07-25
Comment: This bag is alright, but I'm pretty surprised by how overrated it is here.
Good:
Cheap, seems decently durable, good size
Bad:
The stitching on the bottom is really bunched up, making it have an almost more round than square base. This makes the bag sit a little strangely...
The Velcro on the base of the bag is far too high, making it useless unless the bag is completely stuffed full of junk.
Finally, the top flap doesn't completely cover the main opening, allowing rain to easily enter and pool in the bag. Not at all weather-proof.
That said, these are all pretty small gripes, but do definitely prevent me from REALLY liking the bag.

Comment: This bag is very durable. I bought it for my teenage son and he absolutely loved it. Plus this is a great color...not too army green

Summary: Great Product for $20 2010-07-21
Comment: So maybe it's not the highest quality bag but for $20 you can't beat it. It should last much longer than you would expect from such a low price. I just needed a bag to carry junk (notebooks, lunch, change of cloths) back and forth to work. This is nothing fancy but has a bunch of pockets and is big enough for everything I need. Very happy with the bag.

Summary: Really wanted to rate it better... 2010-07-06
Comment: At first I loved this bag. It was exactly the size I thought it would be hand carried everything I needed just right. It wasn't "perfect", but nothing ever is. After the first and second day of use I'd have rated it a 4.5/5 stars. Then the third day I noticed that all the running around with the bag had caused the dye to rub off on my shorts, temporarily staining them. I was, understandably, upset. After washing my shorts and the bag, the shorts were fine but the bag had basically run and the dye had come out of the bag in streaks. This lead to an almost 'camouflage' look but with the wrong colors - the color of the bag, a faded version of that color, and an off white (the natural color of the fabric. The bag was washed with just soap in cold water, so that to be screams 'bad'. I'll be returning this item for a full refund. I'll give it another chance with the replacement, but I'm going to soak it in cold water overnight before using.
