There's some nice padding for you back, and I can fit textbooks, pencil-case and lunch in it.
It's not without it's flaws, since the padding strap flails around when you swing it in front of you, and I've got my wrist gouged by the velcro (yes, it's that nasty). For the cash, you can't do best, and it's my first real messenger bad. I'll be upgrading this summer when cash comes around.
Oh, and for the record, I've sewed on a colnago patch over the mountain equipment coop logo, and added a campagnolo script badge, just to add some style. Got some nice dixed gear hooligans patches coming in too.
