Comments about Patagonia Half Mass Courier Bag:
My boyfriend and I both bought these bags. We're both young professionals. We like these bags because they look more professional than backpacks, and cooler than laptop bags. We both use them while biking to commute to work or to run errands. It's got a nice reflective piece on it, which is great for biking around in the winter time (when it's dark out early). It also has a nice coffee mug holder on the side of it, which is great (notebooks and important papers are no longer covered in coffee stains!). The only complaint is at first we were very confused about the strap. At first it seemed small and like it isn't long enough. We spent a long time looking at them/trying to fix the straps, and even contemplated returning the bags. But we soon found out that once you put a few things in the bag, the weight of the items pulls the bag down so it's not like a bag in your armpit. The length is good so long as you have a few things in the bag.

Comments about Patagonia Half Mass Courier Bag:
It definitely is sturdy and made out of great material, as advertised, however I found it much bigger than I expected. I am a soon to be Grad student, and I wanted something to hold my computer, a book, maybe few notebooks, but was more "stylish" than my backpack and more convienient.
This WOULD have been in, however the strap length is so awkward!! It does not adjust well at all!! I wanted it longer, but the strap padding was so big that it was in the way when I tried to adjust the plastic piece and it wouldn't fit under the strap to continue to lengthen it. If i did manage to wrestle with it long enough to get the length correct, it was at the sacrifice of the shoulder padding which ended up not on my shoulder, but down around my hip area.
I hope I explained that well... I really was looking forward to it and it was shipped SUPER FAST which was great, but it was not what I expected. I am returning it.

Comments about Patagonia Half Mass Courier Bag:
Love this bag! I chose to get this one instead of a custom Timbuk2 bag, and I'm so glad I did! Not only did it come in a color I loved (purple!) but it works perfectly for what I need. I'm a grad student, and between work and night classes, I have to carry a LOT of stuff sometimes - I thought for sure this bag wouldn't hold everything, but it DOES! Big books, lunch, thermos, water bottle, binders, everything! I even managed to stuff my spring coat in there the other day! It's also pretty darn waterproof, very comfortable to carry, and easy to take on the bus. I love the front pocket on the flap to put my bus pass in for easy access! Overall, the perfect bag for my purpose, at a much lower price than the alternative!
