pretty great
I am really pleased with my bag, and it arrived much sooner than expected. I am starting my first semester of college, and this bag is perfect for what i wanted to use it for. It use it for holding my notebooks, pens/pencils, a snack or two (such as granola bar or something), cell phone, mirror, chaptstick, basic make-up, hair brush. I use the notebooks that are 8.5 x 11 in and they fit perfectly, but any notebooks bigger than this and any binders will not fit. Other reviewers noted that the pen/pencil holders were too small to fit anything into, but it holds my mechanical pencils perfectly, i guess it just depends on what kinds you use. Only issue with this bag is that there are to wing-like things on the top left and right sides of the bag that are kind of funny looking because they stick out when the bag has things in it, but I plan on just cutting them off to solve this problem. Other than this, its a perfect bag for what i needed it for :) I will try to upload photos of the "wings" before and after i cut them off.I also saw a couple of reviews commenting on the thickness of the shoulder strap being too thin and uncomfortable, but i think as long as your not carrying anything super heavy that it works perfectly well.

I bought this style bag at a surplus store in the 90s and it lasted forever until I washed it too many times. This bag is exactly the same. It's durable, heavy canvas with a sturdy cardboard backing. There's a fabric divider for a bit of organization. The bag is sized to fit a standard notebook or magazine, and is better suited for things about that size. It has a small pocket under the flap with an elastic band for holding pens or pencils. The strap is adjustable and removable.

I love this bag and recommend it if you want something simple and durable.

5.0 out of 5 stars The BEST bag I have EVER purchased!
Reviewed in the United States on March 17, 2011
Size: 12" x 8.5" x 4.5"Color: Olive DrabVerified Purchase
Update: I thought I'd post a more recent update of this bag - it's September 2016 and this bag is STILL going strong!! I ended up having my husband sew some patterned cloth across the front flap in a wide horizontal bar (to cover where the ripped-out USMC patches used to be; lost my moto, lol); I punched decorative rivets along the bottom edge of the flap; and I have a collection of pins and buttons on the flap - all for personalization and decoration. An inconsequential inner seam or two has popped, but it has not obstructed the functionality of the bag or the water resistance (the decorations haven't damaged the water resistance, either). All the hardware is still in excellent condition and all straps and loops are still as sturdy as the day it arrived.
I still absolutely love this amazing little bag. It has been through SO much with me and it is really comforting knowing that I can get through an unexpected rainstorm without everything in my bag getting rained on (I'm not an umbrella kind of girl; I'm a dance-in-the-rain kind of girl). I would buy from this manufacturer again in a heartbeat and I would buy this bag again, ten times over!! Also, an unexpected bonus was that my husband is not bothered by occasionally having to wear my "purse" because it really looks gender-neutral, and he likes the pin of Bender (from Futurama) that I put on it.

Original 2011 review:
I absolutely LOVE this bag! I love the colour and the canvas feel. I also love the durability and the fact that it is waterproof. (well, probably more water-resistant because I wouldn't recommend submerging it) It is constantly surprising me with how much I can put in it - on a normal day, I pack my nook, a 16 oz water bottle, my planner, keys, tissues, gum, a snack bar, and my wallet and still have plenty of room to spare! (It has been known to carry binders and my lunch with ease, sometimes groceries, and on Sundays my Bible fits perfectly in the back pocket.)

I am constantly getting compliments on it (from military personnel and civilians alike) and many, many people have asked me where I got it. One of my husband's recruiters loved it (and honestly might have "tactically aquired" it if it wasn't my purse) and has actually been the only person to this date to know that it was a military map bag, even though I plaster Marine Corps pins and patches all over it.

I haven't had any issues with the rings or tabs connecting the shoulder strap, and the strap itself adjusts with ease. The snaps have stayed in place even when I have overloaded the bag. I have decorative pins in the canvas of the cover flap and they can be inserted and removed without any damage to the canvas fibers or waterproof qualities of the canvas. I left the side flaps intact as I like how it adds extra water protection; you just have to fold them in a little before closing the front flap otherwise they can look a little strange.

The only drawback of the bag is that pens do not fit comfortably into the little elastic slots on the front inside of the bag, so I don't use them and consider them decoration.

Size: 12" x 8.5" x 4.5"Color: Olive DrabVerified Purchase
I needed a bag to hold a few file folders and assorted stuff for a car trip, and came across this bag. To visualize the size of this bag, it will hold regular file folders, notepads and magazines exactly. There is sufficient space for several folders, a notepad, a few magazines, a boonie hat, sunglass case and other assorted small stuffs.

The bag is constructed of medium weight canvas, with no internal waterproofing. It will offer little protection in any kind of rain. Construction is generally ok quality, but nothing special. The strap is generic webbing, but adequate. There is no padding on the strap, but I'd not attempt to weight down this bag. The flap secures by two snaps. I think i would have preferred Velcro, frankly.

I think it's a decent bag for how I intend to use it...in the car to hold loose papers and such. I'm thinking that if I intended to carry it around, I'd prefer something more water resistant with a better strap, but for the price, it's a good option.

Size: 12" x 8.5" x 4.5"Color: Olive DrabVerified Purchase
Exactly as advertised, which is a nice change. Purchased on a nostalgic whim, reminder of my OCS days. Can't repeat what we called it back then on an open forum, but my family hears it all the time and I get to tell my military stories. The product seems solid and well made, and the price made it more appealing. And it's coming in handy when riding the motorcycle. The positive experience so far makes me inclined to buy another one as a back-up.

I've had one of these since my Army days. I was going on some hikes in Maine and forgot to pack my old one, so I bought this and had it shipped up. It's great - roomier than mine and durable like you'd expect from a military spec product.

I have been using this map bag for a while now. It has held up perfectly, looks great, and has no visible signs of the constant use I put it through. I use this for an art supply bag when I work outside. The size is perfect to hold all of my watercolor supplies. The best part is the hard back, keeping the bag upright instead of collapsing into a pile of folds. Highly recommend.

Size: 12" x 8.5" x 4.5"Color: Earth BrownVerified Purchase
Purchased this bag as an option for carrying some light work items (small tools, parts etc…).
To start the construction is decent for the price. The shoulder strap isn’t comfortable for any prolonged wear. The canvas has a strong smell that probably would be unpleasant if I was working in an industrial environment which tends to mask the scent.

Size: 12" x 8.5" x 4.5"Color: Olive DrabVerified Purchase
The best part about this bag is that it has a hard polycarbonate/plastic backing inside it, which helps protect your books or devices from getting bent or squished as you're wearing it. The internal divider is simple and practical, as well as the smaller outer pocket. It's comfortable and utilitarian; the canvas looks and feels sturdy as does the stitching. For the price, it's pretty unbeatable. I bought this as an a tote bag alternative--- it achieves the same overall shape and aesthetic while being much more functional.

Size: 12" x 8.5" x 4.5"Color: Earth BrownVerified Purchase
This bag was recommended by a watercolour teacher to use as a travel bag for on location sketching and painting, and it is perfect! The hard back of the bag provides a firm work surface and it is big enough for my travel paints, my pens, pencil and eraser, as well as my pencil sharpener and bottle of water. The strap is long enough and the bag is big enough for a couple of watercolour/sketch books. I like the brown colour as well.

財布などの小物入れに5795と悩んでましたが、容量の大きい5796を選びました。
バッグ本体のサイズは記載があったため、自分の欲しいサイズの5796を選びました。
ただ、ショルダー（紐〕の太さだけが気になりました。
個人的には太めが好きながら、写真を見ると5795よりは細め？？
結局、容量重視で5796を購入！

届いた商品は写真通りのショルダーは細めでしたが、質感など金額以上のものを感じました。
