Customer Reviews:
Excellent, long lasting everyday bag By William Che
This bag will last forever! I had used it daily for the last 10 years carrying a laptop, notebooks and an insulated lunch bag. The fabric used to make this bag was very tough and it resisted all kinds of stain and daily abuse from the NYC subways and buses. The only thing that did not survive its 10 year journey is the shoulder strap. I replaced it last year because its metal hinges finally gave out after years of heavy lifting.
This bag is very comfortable to wear. It can be worn messenger bag style, or like a backpack. There is even a comfortable handle on top to carry it like a suitcase. The inside is very roomy and there is a zipper along the edge that you can unzip to give you twice as much storage. There are plenty of pockets inside and outside the bag to hold misc small items and magazines.
I'm giving this bag 5 stars. Even though I had to replace the shoulder strap, I could not fault the bag nor MP because the original strap lasted almost as long as I had this bag! As of this writing I no longer have this bag because I gave it away to someone who needs it more than I do. I am very impressed with the quality and build of this bag and I will even venture a guess that this bag will last through another 10 years of daily abuse in someone else's hands.Could be better.... By Kevin Connaughton
I originally purchased this bag in 1989! Before you could make it into a backpack. I loved it I used it loyally for almost 10 years ! Then it was stolen. So I decided to try other makers & bag styles. After another 10 years I went back to Manhattan Portage. Sorry to say that the bag has gone down hill.
Minuses
The 2 pockets under the flap are smaller and taper in at the bottom. The zippers are all not as "butch" which worries me but only time will tell. I'm glad that the expansion fixture is unchanged it was why I bought the bag 20 years ago and why I bought it again. The webbing underneath the expansion zipper was wider which gave the bag better shape both expanded and un-expanded.
Pluses
The new small pocket at the top of the bag is great for phone or mp3 player. I wish it was lined with a softer fabric. The strap seams stronger and better padded and the plastic clips have been replaced with metal (the plastic clips are the only thing that ever failed on my old version).
I did the inflation calculation and the bag I got in 1989 would be about $160 now which I would pay if it was of the same quality. This bag is about right at $115.Everything I ever wanted! By Jordan Beherndt
Well...it didn't come with anything cool inside of it but that's my only gripe. I mean, if I owned a bag company I'd put a mystery prize in every bag...a deck of cards, a scarf, whatever. Anyway, I thoroughly review EVERY product that I purchase. Its really a bad habit cause I spend way to much time shopping for stuff like socks. That being said, this was no different. I spent a few hours researching and looking at every shoulder bag I could find on Amazon and various other sites and in stores. I settled on this bag cause I liked the style, size, and the reviews were overwhelmingly positive and useful. Been using this for about 4 weeks and its very stylish, well-made, and it has a lot of pockets with zippers, buttons, etc. You can't go wrong with this bag and I'd be surprised if it didn't last me 10+ years.
