Everything you could ever want out of a bag like this. Manhattan Portage makes the most durable bags around. Buy any bag of theirs and it's bound to last at least 20+ years. Been buying them for ages.
My boyfriend loves this bag. It's so handy for work and travel.
I have another DJ bag in medium and have used it for records, but then started using it for work (I am a school teacher, so essentially I use it to carry my books, folders, papers, etc ...). Really, for that purpose, the medium was a little small and easily got too stuffed. So, I picked up a large and it has been great!
If you need lots of pockets and small pockets and spaces for your attempt at organizing a bag like this, this is not the bag for you. For my purposes, it is great, and, compared to other bags, and maybe because it is really made for LPs, my stuff doesn't constantly shift around inside like with other messenger bags.
Maybe some other colors would be nice, but I'm happy with the grey.
Before I found the DJ bag I had been looking everywhere for a stylish bag to carry my books to school. Around town (Lawrence, KS) I could only find medeocre looking bags that cost far more than a Manhattan Portage. When my bag arrived I was blown away by the quality of the material and workmanship. The first day I took the bag out it felt perfect and I actually recieved a compliment or two. The DJ Bag is quickly becoming my favourite accessory and I would suggest purchasing one. Its simple, elegent, and an all around great value! A must have.
