Eastpak JR Messenger Bag, 11.5 L - Black Denim (Grey)

I like that it has a zip for the main compartment and small zipped pocket inside. It is waterproof and inside has a wipe clean surface. It looks sleek and good quality.Negatives for me are that the two small pockets under the flap have no fastenings so I would be worried about my phone/cards could get lost. The one big internal compartment means it becomes really hard to find things when they're jumbled up together. Still love the bag though

Very pleased with this bag. I wanted something compact to carry my 12" tablet around in and this is perfect with room as well for everyday essentials. There is no padded compartment for tech but I solved that easily by buying a padded sleeve for my tablet. Smart grey colour and comfy shoulder strap. Delighted!

Really nice bag for everyday use and the perfect size for everyday essentials. I can fit my camera, an umbrella, a lightweight jacket and various other bits and bobs inside with no real issues, so it holds everything I might need for a day out without being too bulky. True, the strap's not amazingly well padded, but given the size of the bag, I don't think it needs to be. I would say it's a bit small to use as a main bag for travelling on its own, but it lays pretty flat when empty, so can easily fit into a suitcase (the main reason I bought it was to allow me to take a large-ish rucksack as a carry-on but then not have to lug this around with me once I get to my destination). So far, happy with it and would recommend as a small messenger bag.

I really like this bag. It’s such a good size for taking out. Smaller than a rucksack but bigger than a man bag. I take it out with my son to use for his snacks, jackets, water etc. It does come in a bigger size but this works really well. It’s lightweight and pretty rugged. It has inside pocket with zip ( very small though) then main zip and fold over flap with clips. Pretty comfortable over the shoulder with good padding at top of the strap. Eastpak make good bags in my opinion and found it difficult to find anything similar to this in size

I think it’s a great bag. I love the different sections and inside zip, it’s super useful for the smaller things I carry in my bag. Quality material and nice padding on the strap. It’s great for throwing my iPad, water bottle and a few other things in although I wouldn’t recommend for school/work if you need to carry any files! Then i would suggest getting the bigger size available :)

This is a perfect sized bag. It easily holds my laptop and associated cables and still has room for some lunch and a drinks flask. Highly recommend.

Great bag, well made and looks great. My only criticism is that it is slightly smaller than I would have liked. I would say that it is a cross between a standard messenger bag and one of those silly little bags that the local scallies wear embarrassingly across their chests.

Decent man-bag. A few niggles, though:- The strap could do with more padding - when you've got a heavy load in there, it's not super comfortable.- The inside has one additional pocket - a zipped pouch hanging from the top. This is rather small - I used it for my passport and it was barely big enough to hold it lengthways (which is the only way it will allow the pouch to zip up). Seems silly not to make it a bit bigger. Also, it really needs a divider pocket inside that fills the whole bag, for a folder or similar.- There are two extra pockets, but on the outside of the bag (but the main flap goes over them), so you feel like you can't quite trust them to hold anything important. that said, I did use them without any losses in a three week trip.- the inside top zips up completely, which is good when you want to completely seal the contents, but gets in the way of the aforementioned inner pocket.Otherwise, it's pretty decently made and looks nice and neutral and 'man'-y. I will probably try a different brand for the next one, though.
