So I was in the market for a black computer commuter bag to hall all of my work stuff on public transportation. This bag checked all the boxes andI loved that it was corduroy for fall and winter. So this definitely is BIG enough! Slightly heavy prior to loading it up but not a deal breaker for me, but I did give it a light coat of Scotch gaurd water repellent due to the reviews of color transfer. After using her a few times the straps are softening up a bit they were awfully stiff, and she working out perfectly ?.
