Great traveling bag!  Maybe not for hiking in rainy areas...
I'll be traveling to a couple of different states and a few towns, starting next week.  I've been looking for a good travel bag to take with me.  Since we'll be in a new town every week, I definitely did not want to lug around a large suitcase.  Also, we didn't want to have to pay for sending our luggage beneath the plane each time we fly.<br /><br />I'm really happy with the size and shape of this bag.  Because it's a &#34;barrel&#34; bag, it fits a lot of items and/or clothes.  I was specifically looking for a backpack or something that can convert.  This was perfect!  I doubt that I'll be using any of the other carrying methods, but it's nice to have options.  Good front pocket on the outside of the bag for all of my cords and charges.  The back and separating liner are padded and fit my 17&#34; laptop and/or 10.1 tablet.  There's another small inner pocket for maybe a phone, id, mouse or other small items such as those.<br /><br />There are buckles that help cinch down &#34;fluffy&#34; things like clothes which will be a big help in not carrying a big bulky bag on your back!<br /><br />This bag is a good size for travel but it will also hold all of my son's school books and other &#34;junk&#34; he just has to pack around with him.<br /><br />The canvas is pliable and not stiff like a lot of canvas bags you find.  It would make a great pillow while waiting at the airport for two hours!  It's sewn really well and even if the back straps are not very padded, they are padded enough to be comfortable.<br /><br />Being that I live in a state that rains constantly, I don't think I'd use this bag for hiking.  The canvas would get soaked through since it's not lined with waterproof fabric.  Otherwise, this bag is perfect for my travels!<br /><br />I think this is a great bag and a good size for what I intend it for.  If you're looking for a good travel bag or night out bag, this would be a great choice!
