Patagonia MiniMass 

"Needed to downsize and picked this up on sale. The green color has grown on me but will probably pick up dirt easy. The buckles that keep the main compartment shut are durable but any excess strap tends to flap around (noisy) when you walk with it messenger style. A quick fix is to tie a knot in the excess strap of each buckle. My kindle fire HD 8.9 fits great in the outside slip pocket. It also can hold a full-sized ipad. I wish there were a couple more organization pockets inside but not a deal breaker. I fit most things from my laptop bag including my small umbrella. The bottle pocket is GREAT. Most bags this size/type don't have bottle pockets that actually fit water bottles and I looked at a some from both Eagle Creek and Mountainsmith which are normally my favorite brands. What sealed the deal is that for the days I ride to work, I can slip this into one of the expandable panniers of my Topeak MTX trunk bag. Great tablet/satchel bag that balances size with utility. All in all, I'm very pleased with this purchase."

"Perfect size - carries all I need for the day. Water bottle fits perfectly in end pocket and and whatever else I need fits inside - homework, sunglasses, wallet, lunch container, etc. Easy to carry and easy to use - a good buy!!"

"It is a great light messenger which is what I was looking for. I use it for work as my handbag to carry my wallet, makeup bag, cords, and battery backup, phone, mini ipad, glasses, pens , plus other small items. I carry my 9oz glass water bottle in the side pocket. The few changes I would make is add a second side pouch, key ring inside to clasp your keys, maybe a zipper to make it more secure. Lastly, although i like the bright colors they do show dirt more. I liked last years more muted colors so they should have both. Best of all I love that it is made from recycled material."

"Great bag! It is a small, but large enough to fit what I need on a daily basis - some folders and notebooks, water bottle, iPad. Really cute - I love the green color I got!"

"I love this bag! I travel internationally a lot for work, and bought this bag for that purpose. It has since replaced my purse because it is more secure. I carry an iPad Mini regularly, and felt that it could easily have been lifted from my purse -- but this bag closes securely so the contents can not fall out or be pick-pocketed. In addition to being secure, it is a great size for a daily bag. I have been able to use it for my iPad Mini, phone, business cards, city travel guide, camera, hand lotion, hand sanitizer, tissues, wallet, passport, water bottle, and I STILL have room in it to place small purchases made while going about my day. The strap is made of almost a seatbelt material -- it is wide enough not to cut into my shoulder, even when the bag is full, and is quite comfortable to carry. I've used this bag even in the crowded Beijing Subway during rush hour and felt my belongings were safe. I highly recommend this bag to international travelers, and others who need a secure way to carry their belongings."

"It looked great but returned because I thought it was just too much money for what I got. Need more features (pockets) for this kind of expense."

"I like this bag a lot. It's sole defect to me, is there's no padded area on the strap. Something to prevent it slipping it's position, more so than padding."

"Best travel bag I ever had!!"

"This is the perfect size for my Mac Book Air and a drink, both that I take everywhere. There is additional space, and it works for me."

"This was exactly what I was looking for. It carries my IPad, Kindle and other essentials for the day. I did a lot of research especially in regards to it's size. It is perfect"
