Port Authority BG85 - Basic Drawstring Backpack

I bought two black and one brown of these port authority basic drawstring bags to replace the old sackpack I had. These sackpacks are a GREAT value they are thin, yet sturdy, with leather reinforcements around the bottom grommets (which are sure to extend the life of these sackpacks over the ones I've previously owned).

Sackpacks are great to be able to carry around a few things when you're out for the day and can't be bothered holding a bag. They are great for vacation or a long day of walking around a big city or fair to carry around things like a book or an extra sweater or a place to put a sweater you started they day with and no longer need, etc. They can be folded away in luggage to be used when needed without taking up a lot of unnecessary space.

Just to note the bag is just one compartment pulled together by a drawstring if you want something with pockets or with quick/easy access, then this probably isn't going to work for you.

Get Prime and get it fast for free ! I ordered one in pink and one in green. I needed something to carry my steth, BP cuff and other nurse instruments for clinicals and this is perfect, it's small enough to not be a bother and big enough to fit what I needed. I got one for my friend as well. I'm pleased with the purchase.

I purchased these bags for an entire 10 year old baseball team as a present. They were well received and used. My son now uses it as a gym bag and it's handled the wear and tear of his daily use. I definitely plan to purchase it again this year for our World Series trip.

Want Port Authority BG85 - Basic Drawstring Backpack Discount?

I love these draw-string backpacks. I use them for the gym, when on my bike, or when I'm backpacking as a stowed daypack. They weigh next to nothing and can hold a good amount of stuff. You wouldn't want to carry heavy things in these packs because the straps are so thin (they would dig into your shoulders), but for most cases they are perfect. I also appreciate the extra material at the base of the pack where the straps connect to their grommets. I anticipate this will keep them from ripping after a bit of use.

I purchased an orange one because it could double as an emergency signal when I'm backpacking. It's not the most masculine color, but in that circumstance I am willing to make that sacrifice.

One little trick I've learned to make these bags even better is using a cheap biner (Coghlan's Biners) to connect the straps from each side together from the front. If you need to go on a run or a physical activity while wearing the pack, it will keep the straps from slipping off your shoulders and keep the whole thing very snug with your body.
