I found this bag almost by accident searching for another bag that has been discontinued. All I can say is that I'm glad that I did find it. This bag has absolutely nailed exactly what I was looking for in an EDC bag: room for my laptop (I have a 13" MacBook Pro that fits with room to spare), notebook, places for my key and ID badge to swipe in, a pocket for my phone, and some tech divider space for some knick knacks. Besides that, the only thing I was concerned about was whether or not it would have enough room for my lunchbox (I have one that I bought from Costco that I use each day). I'm happy to say that the lunch fits just fine.

I like to read comments before I buy things, so if you're like me I would just say that the negative aspects presented in some peoples' experiences have not been reflected in mine.

I also have not had any issues with pull strings or straps getting caught in zippers. The pocket with the key keeper isn't massive, but I would certainly think there would be plenty of room for chapstick, etc., if you wanted that in there. Besides, there are other pockets already that I don't use that would also be…
