GESGES Tactical Briefcase, 17.3 Inch Men's Messenger Bag Military Briefcase for Men,Black

High quality material, very durable, and plenty of compartments!

Lasts a long time. Had it 5 years

While only time will tell about the sturdiness of this briefcase, it certainly appears and feels sturdy, made of thick, water-resistant nylon.The only reason I have rated it down to a 4 - should really be a 4.5 - is due to the design, and this is due to my own preferences and experience. For over a decade I had a smaller nylon briefcase that finally wore out. Anyway, during that time I became used to one easy to open main compartment. It had one handle and the main compartment was easily unzipped to open a space that could fit an old sized laptop.This briefcase will take a little getting used to, for me, as it has two handles that straddle a main compartment that can be accessed though two zippers. When the two zippers are unzipped, you can remove the central nylon tab from one end as it is held to that side by Velcro. Thus, it opens to a main compartment - but not all the way open. It is not like a typical, say, suitcase where you can lay it on its side and open the top and put things in the central compartment. Instead, it is like a file folder - you don't lay it on its side, you instead open it from the top and slide your laptop or other materials inside.The two handles do come together and are held in place by another Velcro strap fastened on one handle which has a patch of nylon that wraps around the other handle for easy carrying. All of this means that if you want to access your laptop or whatever is in the main compartment in a hurry, you first have to undo the Velcro holding the two handles together and then unzip one or both of the zippers to the central compartment and perhaps then remove the nylon tab held in place by Velcro at one end and the two zippers on either side. So, not real quick access.On one side of this briefcase are four differently sized and shaped compartments either held together by Velcro, a zipper, or a strap with a fastener. These all become very useful - you just have to remember where you put what. On the other side of this briefcase is a side pocket held together by Velcro. This is very handy for inserting documents, mail or other such material.Back to the main compartment. For those who remember the old days back before there was an actual laptop, there was a luggable. Picture something about the size of seven or eight of today's laptops stacked on top of each other only longer and weighing about fifteen pounds or so. Anyway, this central compartment could hold a luggable from days of yore.As I have had no need to fill this briefcase to capacity, I have not witnessed how large it would be when fully loaded. Thus, I do not know if, in such occasion, it would fit under a passenger seat though it should fit in the upper compartment of an airplane. With today's size laptops, with all the various accessories, (thus using the case somewhat deflated) there should be no problem in this being a carryon.The case does a fairly good job at standing up on its own but this will depend upon what you have in it and how it is packed. Four rubber nobs acting as "feet" on each of the four corners on the bottom of the case would probably help,The adjustable strap is nice and has a wide shoulder pad that can be adjusted by sliding it up and down the length of the strap.Yes, despite its two handles, lack of opening all the way to reveal the central compartment and the lack of quick access, I would still recommend this case as these drawbacks are based on my own perception.

As a Children's Pastor, my husband carries multiple items in his bag. This bag he said was perfect for all his items. He has plenty of space. Very clean and nice looking!

You want to talk ample room? This case has it in spades! I dare say you could carry two laptops and a tablet. I happen to know this as I have tried it and it worked without a hitch. The laptops were sandwiched in padded slips as was the tablet. It wasn’t stuffed or overly full. On top of this capability is all the pockets on want one side and another single large pocket on the opposite side. Clearly this is a very versatile laptop case. Between the inner laptop/tablet storage to the exterior pockets which are ample in size make this case a real serious contender for your portable computing needs on the go. You can find other cases that hold a lot, but this case defies it’s size and does so with a very distinct look I happen to like a great deal. You may also like it to if you are inclined to like tactical inspired cases. It comes in more than one color so it has appeal for more than just people who like black cases. Choices are excellent. I’m a very happy owner. You can be also.

Really like the bag (only had it for a little bit), plenty of storage for all of your gear. I used to do the backpack for all of my gear and would sling it over a shoulder. It got to the point where the backpack was about 30lbs or more and I decided to slim it down to essentials. I have everything from a laptop, tablet, misc cables, external HD, Amazon firestick and remote and plenty of attachments. They only two issues I have found with the bag is 1) no dedicated pen sleeves for stylus or pen. 2) No strap on the back to easily slide over suitcase handles. Honestly, these are the only negatives I've been able to come up with. So far, very happy with it.

I bought this to go with my outfit from a show called Strike Back. It fit the outfit now Im using it for everything. Hiking, business,

Although this bag is bigger than I expected, it is a great bag. Very well constructed, great material, sturdy hardware and tons of room. I would've preferred more interior dividers but that is specific to my needs. Overall it is a great bag at an excellent price.
