Overland Equipment Skyscraper Work Bag

I am an average woman (5'5"), and found that the bag looked like it took up most of my lower body. HOWEVER, it's an awesome bag with all the bells, whistles, and pockets a person could want. Think of it more as luggage rather than as a messenger bag, and you've got it -- I just couldn't see myself carrying it everyday. All this notwithstanding, I love Overland Equipment and if they could shrink this . . .

I'm a VP for a small company on the East Coast. For months, I've been on the hunt for the 'perfect every day bag' that can act as a laptop brief when needed, my carry-on when traveling, and day pack when touring Philly or DC. The Skyscaper does this and more ... it even acts as a diaper bag when the grandkids are with us. I have the version that's 17" wide vs the larger one. It's a perfect size for carrying 'necessary stuff' like my PDA/Cell phone, laptop, paperwork, etc. And I love the two pcokets on each side ... I use one for a water bottle and the other for an umbrella. My wife laughs, and says that if she were carrying it, she'd call it her purse. Although I'll admit that the Skyscraper functions extremely well as my oversized 'man bag', as far as most people are concerned, I'm just a guy carrying a great looking, and highly functional messenger bag.

I have been looking for years for the perfect bag to carry all my junk to work. I can fit my lunch,my coffee,my water bottle ,my agenda (yes, I still use paper!)and all the various and sundry stuff i think I need for a day. It has tons of pockets and it stays tidy and doesn't get TOO heavy. it has a great strap and isn't UGLY. Basically, it rocks!
