I’ve been a fan of Maxpedition products for years, and this briefcase is no exception. It’s a solid, durable bag that serves its intended purpose really well. On the larger side, it’s perfect for carrying my Bible study books and other essentials. The design is classic Maxpedition—thoughtful, rugged, and built to withstand a lot of wear and tear. I’ve had it for a few years now, and it’s holding up beautifully without any special care. It’s clear that this bag is made to last.One thing to note: like any shoulder bag, when you load it up with heavy items, it can put a lot of strain on your shoulder. This is a bag you can easily overfill, and it will get heavy, so keep that in mind. However, when you do have a substantial load, it’s very capable of carrying it all, which is a major plus.My only real gripe has nothing to do with the bag itself—it’s just that my cat’s hair seems to stick to the material like a magnet. If you’re a pet owner, be prepared for some extra cleaning. But honestly, that’s a small issue in the grand scheme of things.If you’re looking for something a little less bulky, I’d recommend Maxpedition’s “Last Resort” bag, which I also use regularly. It’s great for when I don’t need to carry as much, and I prefer it for lighter loads. That said, each of these bags has its own purpose, and this briefcase excels at holding a lot of gear without compromising on quality or design.Overall, if you need a large, durable bag that can handle large loads, this Maxpedition briefcase is a fantastic choice. It’s a well-built, no-nonsense bag that does exactly what it’s meant to do—carry your stuff, and do it well.
