I got this to be my everyday work bag and it has been so great! It has so many pockets and is very functional. Everything has its own place. The main pocket is so nice, it fits a 40 oz Owala, a notebook, some lip balms and a 13 inch MacBook and still zips up. I use one of the side pockets to fit a mini umbrella and it fits perfectly. The other outside pockets are so much deeper than I thought they would be. I honestly will lose things in those pockets of how deep they go, but I don't mind because that's better than bags that have shallow pockets where things are constantly falling out. I have been using this everyday for months and I have not seen signs of wear or tear and I am not always the nicest to this bag (it is thrown around often and squished into drawers at work all the time). The handles are really nice too, since they are one with the rest of the bag and not separate handles, it is very comfortable to carry, even when it is FULL. highly recommend. only downside was that when it first came, it had a bit of a smell that took a bit of time to get rid of. I used one of those gym bags scent ball things and sprayed it with body sprays, which helped.
