Comments about REI Chock Shoulder Bag - Women's:
I like that this is roomy enough to be useful, but small enough that it remains compact and as is a bit more low-key to carry around than a large messenger. If you are looking for something to hold documents, books, or a laptop, this bag will be far too small. Here's a run down of the features:
- Three exterior pockets, one small zippered front stash pocket (pretty much only good for tiny phones, lip balm, or cash.) The other two pockets are on the side, where the straps meet and are identical. The contrasting material is stretchy so the pockets have some give. They can accommodate a small water bottle, phone, or camera. (There is no rear stash pocket which would have been nice.)
-The inside of the bag is made up of two compartments - a large one that makes up the bulk of the bag, and a smaller, organizational one. The smaller compartment has sewn-in pockets and enough room to carry a few small items. The pocket sizes are approximately 4", 2", 1/2", and 2'5" respectively. The smallest one is for pens, but it was too small to fit any of my pens. The largest pocket will hold a PDA. There is also a keychain tether. The front flap has a velco closure and the main compartment has a zip closure. The main compartment also has a small zippered stash pocket.
-The strap is of a lightweight seatbelt-like material, only thinner and more flexible. I am not sure how it will hold up to heavier loads, but the construction seems solid. It's very easy to adjust the strap from long enough to carry across your body, to short enough to carry on one shoulder.
Overall impressions: Great size for women, it is probably a bit too feminine for men to carry because of its small size. It's not a messenger bag, so if you are looking for that kind of utility, move on. I'm sick of carrying around my tiny purses that have no room for anything besides a lipgloss and my wallet. To give you an idea of what this one holds, I loaded it tonight with the following: PDA, pens (in the sewn-in pockets), camera and cell (exterior side pockets), wallet & card case in front section, and make-up, a large moleskine, iPod, and hairbrush in the main compartment. There's room to spare, but not much.
Material quality seems great, and I've only had it one day, but I think it will stand up to everyday wear-and-tear. I wish the velco was a little bigger, or better yet that the closure was magnetic, but overall, I am very pleased with this bag.

Comments about REI Chock Shoulder Bag - Women's:
This bag is really nice...it seems like it's put together really well (I just got it yesterday. Very quick delivery, by the way). The color is very cute, I got the chianti, and it's comfortable to wear. My only qualm is that it's a lot bigger than it says on the specs. REI claims it's 9" wide x 7.5" tall, when in fact its more like 13" X 9". Since I was looking for something smaller than my current 11" x 9", I was a little bummed to find it so big. If you're looking for something a little bigger, I would recommend the bag, but I think in my case I might send it back.

Comments about REI Chock Shoulder Bag - Women's:
I'm not a purse girl, but I love this bag. It's light weight, but roomy enough to hold a couple paper back books. I rarely use the zipper closure to the main compartment, but it's nice to have when traveling. Best feature is the dual cell-phone holsters behind the strap. I tried a bunch of purses on at REI and this was by far the most stylish AND comfortable. I've used it every day for about a year and found it to be very durable and stain resistant. It still looks like new. The only bad thing is that a friend got one just like it and we sometimes get them confused.

Comments about REI Chock Shoulder Bag - Women's:
I purchased this bag to use on a trip to Vegas but have started using it for everyday too. It's a great size--big enough for a wallet, checkbook, sunglasses, camera, and more in the big compartment. The small front one has sewn-in pockets that hold a pen, cellphone, and keys. The side pockets are handy for a sunglass case or small bottle of water or sunscreen. The strap is made of seatbelt-like material and is easy to slide, so you can go from having it on your shoulder to cross-body very quickly. However, if the strap was an inch or two longer it would be nice, since I'm tall and would like the bag to hang a little lower on my hip. I ordered the chianti, which I think is more purplish than in the picture, but it's still an okay color. Other color options, like blue or green, would be nice, as would a back stash pocket for maps or other items that need to be kept handy. The velcro fastners are good because you don't have to worry about magnets messing up your credit cards, but they could be larger. The current ones come loose easily and then the top flaps around. Overall, though, it's a handy bag that is great for trips around town or to vacation destinations.

Comments about REI Chock Shoulder Bag - Women's:
I bought this a few days ago and I know already I will LOVE it and use it for everyday use as well as for travel. It is the perfect size: not too small, not too big. And the flat shape is terrific...no bulky purse to stick out. It holds far more than one would think at first. Very easy to access to interior while wearing purse across the body. No need to take shoulder strap off. I am SO PLEASED with this purchase.

Comments about REI Chock Shoulder Bag - Women's:
I wanted a bag that was practical for travel but was stylish enough and didn't scream "tourist." I also wanted a bag that would be suitable for urban sightseeing as well as carrying provisions on a day hike. This bag is my dream bag!
It's not too big--this was important, because who wants to carry a huge messenger everywhere? But it's just big enough to hold everything I need for a day out. It holds my advanced compact camera (i.e., bigger than a compact, but smaller than an SLR), a guidebook, a moleskine, phone, iPod, sunglasses, wallet, and lots of smaller stuff. In fact, it'll fit all that and still have room to pack some snacks for a day hike or some small purchases made while sightseeing. It has just the right amount of organization, with a flat zipper pocket inside the main zip compartment and an organized area just under the flap so you can get to your cash/phone, pens, and keys (clipped to the attached leash) without unzipping the main compartment. And the little diagonal zip pocket on the flap itself will let you access loose cash and coins without opening the bag at all.
Whether you can get anything in the external side pockets depends on how full you stuff the bag itself. But I love that they're there and that the contrast fabric is functional (it stretches to accommodate your water bottle, umbrella, iPod, or whatever you decide to stick there).
I'm 5'8" and long-waisted and didn't find the strap too short for wearing cross-body. But I do wear it at its full length. Any shorter and it would be too short.

Comments about REI Chock Shoulder Bag - Women's:
This is the perfect travel purse! I've always hated toting around a backpack while traveling, especially in the city. So this purse is absolutely perfect! It's zip/Velcro design makes you not have to worry about pickpockets, as well. The small front zip pocket is perfect for change, and the side pockets are great for a water bottle.

Comments about REI Chock Shoulder Bag - Women's:
I use this bag every day, it's not too small, not too large. I can put far more in it than I thought, and still it's not bulky.
It has the best little zipper pocket on the front flap, so I never have to dig for my keys. The side pockets are great for sunglasses, reading glasses, and small water bottles.
I purchased the chianti color, and I may just get the black one too!
So far I haven't found anything I would change - and I'm PICKY about bags. Thank you!

Comments about REI Chock Shoulder Bag - Women's:
Great organizational space in front, very comfortable strap, and great capacity. The bag is slightly bigger than I had imagined, but I like it nonetheless. The extra space will be nice on family outings when I may want to carry extra snacks or clothing for my daughter. Velcro fastenings could be a bit bigger, but overall love this bag.

Comments about REI Chock Shoulder Bag - Women's:
I was looking for a shoulder bag for a recent weekend trip - didn't want something too small or too big. This bag fit the bill and I've been using it ever since, even for everyday use. The compartmentalization is perfect and I seem to be able to find things in it, which I can't usually say for other bags/purses I've had in the past.
