Briggs & Riley Luggage Excursion Messenger Bag, Slate, Large

Briggs & Riley Luggage Excursion Messenger Bag, Slate, LargeI have several Briggs & Riley pieces after I finally realized that most luggage is poor quality these days. Have had this bag for a few weeks and, although I haven't punished it enough, it feels really solid, particularly the plastic snaps, which seem like they would otherwise be vulnerable. (Their bags have a lifetime warranty).

Design comments:

* Pad on shoulder strap is comfortable and shoulder strap lengthen-shorten unit doesn't slip like it can on many bags of this type

* Bag just feels too big; for a guy who's 5' 7" it's just too wide

* Had laptop pouch but is, again, a little big, made for people carrying 17"+ computers, which doesn't seem to align with the idea of a shoulder bag. Too big for an iPad

* As I guy, I don't know how women manage purses but so far I'm finding that it doesn't have enough pockets, so if you have a lot of devices, keys, papers, etc., they end up getting loose like I presume they would in a purse.

* Ocean color was on sale when I bought it; if you wear a lot of blue consider that this bag may clash aesthetically.

Overall: does the job and is high quality but more interior pockets and a shrunken size would make it better.
