Columbia Sportswear Azza II Messenger Bag - Large

This is a nice square-ish smaller bag. I can carry my purse contents and my lunch, a water bottle and book for the train easily. It wouldn't fit a laptop but carries enough to make me happy. It seems well made, the green color is nice

This bag is the exact right size for travelling on the plane and putting my small travel purse in it, my travel documents, knitting project and book. The only problem is the first one I got last year, the snaps on the front pockets pulled out when I opened them. So I had to return it. But here they are again and I had to buy one for me and 2 more for my sisters!!

The wife loves this bag. It scored good points for me after her last bag was stolen. It is well built and stylish but it would be nice to see some sort of built in locking mechanism for bags now-a-days verses old luggage locks. But, regardless of my preferences she adores it and carries it everywhere. I do wish it was a little larger. The extra pockets do make up for more places to stash gum wrappers and empty tea-bag pouches. All-in-all I'm glad I bought it for her...

I use this mainly on commuting days when I need to bring more than my "gadget bag" can carry. Plenty of room for lunch, a book, my tablet, phone, water bottle, and more. My only complaint is there aren't any small pockets on the inside of the main compartment, which is a feature I prefer. Also, although this bag is large enough to carry an iPad, netbook or small notebook, there is no padding and little structural support, so a padded insert would be required to protect the device. It's well-made, so I expect it to last a good long while.

I use this product when out for the day with my kids, it's more spacious then I need but will come in handy when my next tiny baby comes and I need to carry more items. Glad I purchased it!
