I was looking for a durable briefcase-style bag that is lightweight and easily searchable (I work in a prison, so it gets searched every day when I go in.) As a bonus, it will also fit my 15.6" laptop computer. It is not designed as a computer bag and does not have padding for that, but it will suit my needs. The material and zippers appear very durable. It is a great neutral color and looks nice without being fancy. It has places to put small items, covered by a flap, as well as a main cavity and outside zipper pocket that will fit files, organizers, my lunch, etc. The shoulder strap could use a little more padding but is adequate. I really like this bag, it does everything I need it to, and the price is a bargain!
