Comments about Keen Oswego Bag:
I was sick of my diaper bag, but still needed something to carry snacks, a toy or two, an extra diaper, and some wipes in. This was exactly what I was looking for. It's water proof, so if a sippy cup leaks.....no big deal, you just wipe it up. And it has several different compartments, so I can keep my mama stuff separate from the kid stuff. I think the size is perfect.....it's not as big as your typical diaper bag, but it's not so small that it's bulging at the seams when you get everything in it that you'll need for the day. Plus, it's sporty looking, which I love. :)

--what I was looking for was old-school style. A messenger bag, maybe leather. There are 90 cumbersome, lumbering football players on the varsity team this year and I've got to be light on my feet when dodging them in the hallways. Other messengers swing, and when filled with textbooks they could send 100 lbs. persons such as myself careening into walls. The Oswego never swings, and is better than leather, because leather strains under such loads as I've got to bear. My pens, calculator, compass, protractor, planner, pencils, and crumpled-up mystery notes fit into the seemingly insignificant pocket in front and my cell phone and snacks fit on the sides. The main compartment stores 2 400-page textbooks and a 3-subject notebook without squeezing, but after that it's tight. A water bottle fits just under the flap.

I bought this bag to use for school, but it is too small to house even a small binder or book. For a medium-sized purse, this keen bag works well. The large shoulder strap is very comfortable, even under heavy loads.

Comments about Keen Oswego Bag:
I just bought this bag a few days ago, but it seems to be put together well (durable). First I'll say what I wish would be improved. It has quite a few pockets, but I wish they were just a bit bigger. The outside pockets aren't quite large enough to hold water bottles. The pen/phone pockets are nicely padded, but aren't quite deep enough to keep stuff from poking out of the tops of the pockets. The bag itself holds quite a bit, but it can be hard to get to things near the bottom. One of the other Keen bags has a little light that shines into the bag when opened- that would have been a nice feature to have on this bag as well.
Here is what I did like: I like the discreet zippered pocket on the outside back of the bag a lot- very convenient. I like the waterproof(?) pocket with the key leash inside. I also like that they used recycled rubber and aluminum to make different parts of this bag. Personally, I think this is a nice looking bag- not too butch, not too girly. I can take it almost anywhere without it looking too "luggage-like". Overall, I am happy with this bag, mostly because it seems like it will last a long time, but maybe Keen will tweak it down the road and make it even better.

I have used this bag everyday since I got it. I love the easy to use, wide, adjustable comfortable strap. This bag/purse is great for everyday and travel. It has tons of space and lots of pockets for organization. Once again, very happy with Keen products :)

Comments about Keen Oswego Bag:
It's a great bag, the only thing is that the outside pockets maybe are too shallow or just too small to hold a water bottle. It barely holds a bottle of Naked Juice. But with that being the only problem I can totally get over that!!
It's not a suitcase, it's a daypack that's a little bit bigger than a handbag & it does what it's supposed to do.

I originally bought this product because I needed a durable, lightweight day bag to use in my travels and it has definitely not let me down. It's the perfect size-I can fit a rain coat, snacks, a water bottle, cell phone, and mp3 player in it. It's also water proof (helpful in Panama!), although the flaps have gaps in them where rain could theoretically sneak in. The strap has a buckle that is easily adjustable, which is handy because I've had to cinch it up when I'm beach hiking and have to trek through the water.
I take this bag everywhere-into town (fits a few grocery items), on hikes, to work, etc. Despite the fact that I use this thing every day and treat it roughly, it shows no signs of wear and tear. The bottom is made out of old Keen shoe soles and is very tough.
My only wish is that it had backpack straps in addition to the shoulder strap. That would make hiking a bit easier.
The other perk of owning this bag is that it is environmentally responsible. It is entirely made of recyclable materials. Good job Keen!

Comments about Keen Oswego Bag:
It is almost big enough. The main pocket would be big enough if I didn't use the front zip pocket and the stash pocket on the front. The water bottle pockets are too small for such use. I haven't bought a bottled water to try those bottles. I like my reusable ones, but now I need to strap it on the outside. There hasn't been enough rain to test its ability to keep papers dry - a leaky top zipper was the problem with my previous bag.
The top opening to the main compartment seems tight, which may also be a result of having items in the front inside pocket.

as others have said, it could use more room. it's not wide enough for my laptop so i carry that in a separate bag. i have the gray and orange one and it's totally cute. many compliments. overall, it's a great bag!!
