Summary

This is a good versatile bag that will work well as a pure laptop bag, messenger bag or carry-on (maybe even a handbag). You will easily fit a variety of gear along with a laptop in this bag. It will work very well if you need space for a few extras like books and headphones on your college campus or during your commute.

The pockets are roomy and give you a variety of storage options. This ECOSUSI messenger bag has an unassuming style with great looking leather accents for a little extra character. The seams are stitched very well and the straps adjust easily to fit your needs.

The shoulder strap works well but the padding is a little thin. You will also need to check the size of your laptop against the internal compartment. A larger format laptop might not fit in the padded compartment, which defeats the point of getting a nice padded bag for your gear.

On the other hand, something like a 14 inch laptop should fit very well. The zippers can give a few issues, but luckily it has a flap over the main section as well.

Comparison

The ECOSUSI is reasonably priced and a good size for versatile use. It has a good quality canvas construction to keep your gear safe and dry. The leather accents are a nice touch and give it a more quality look.

It is not the most attractive bag on the market, but that depends on individual taste of course. It has a masculine feel to it, but it could just as easily serve a lady in the IT sector or with a cool sense of style.

It has easy open buckles rather than magnets that need to be lined up, or old-school buckles that take time to open and close. The top handle is a nice addition to make it easier to grab, other higher end bags do not always have this and can be a little cumbersome to use without the shoulder strap.

This bags shoulder strap does have some padding but it is not as thick and soft as other with some of its competitors. Depending on how far and long this bag will be on your shoulder, it might need a little extra to keep it comfortable.

Verdict

This ECOSUSI military messenger bag is a good looking smart casual bag that will serve well on college campuses. It will equally look good on your side if you are a freelancer or entrepreneur. It has plenty of space and additional pockets. The slight vintage military look will add a little character to your style and should suit both men and women well.

The buckles don’t cause any fuss when you need to open them and you can easily grab it by the top handle. This bag is priced well and has durability and versatility that will earn your respect.

This is a good mid-range bag that will make your commute or day on campus much less of a hassle. With a bag that can handle the daily grind and won’t show wear and tear on the canvas you can focus on the important things.
