"Good size lightweight messenger/brief. Good fabric and hardware, but should strap is very basic. There is a laptop compartment but other than that there’s no organization. So this is good for traveling where you may be packing larger items like clothes or pouches for organization, but not ideal for EDC due to lack of organization."
"Purchased the bag since my new laptop didn't fit in my current bag. Bag looks great and is pretty sleek. Only thing I would change is the outside pocket zipper is a little hard to zip up one handed when your other hand is carrying the bag by the handle. But not an issue big enough to impact my using the bag going forward."
"I think the bag is solid and all. Feels pretty durable. But the strap is so small it's basically suffocating. It's also unpadded, which seems like a swing and a miss. Still, not disappointed in the bag. I'll just need to rig a new strap since I bought it on sale and can't return it."
"Bought this for my husband. After extending the strap we knew this was going to be tight. The strap really should be longer. The additional stabilizing strap was a challenge to figure out and because the shoulder strap isn’t long enough to begin with this isn’t a feature he’ll ever use. Overall it is functional, but barely. Some additional interior organization would be nice as well as a zipper or slip pocket on the exterior. He’ll keep it because his other work bag is worn out, but this design falls short."
"I love this bag! I use it daily for work. Fits a laptop perfectly as well as my normal day to day necessities. It stands out from other messenger type bags because of the strap - it can be hauled normally or like a sling bag."
"I wanted to love this messenger bag, but I don’t. I expected lots of pockets and zippered areas, similar to all their other bags. This has one main pocket with a divider sleeve and then one zippered pocket in the front. For a work bag, I need more pockets and places to put things. As it is, I have to put cables, and usb connectors, my keys, wallet, etc. in the same pocket. It’s a mess. The shoulder strap needs to be padded also."
"The Cotopaxi Mente 15L Messenger Bag has quickly become my go-to bag for everyday use. It has the perfect balance of style, organization, and functionality. The multiple compartments keep everything organized, and the padded laptop sleeve provides great protection without adding bulk."
"Great size, color and pockets to organize my supplies. I’m able to hook it onto my luggage for easy travel."
"Had shoulder injury so had to retire my back pack. Plus my Tumi messenger bag fabric got sticky and warped. This pack is lot smaller than other packs but able to hold all the essentials, including big boy MacBook Pro 16. It’s snug but the zipper are not force or nor stretched. Let see how it stand as my daily work bag"
"Very much love this laptop bag. It fits a 16” laptop with room for other files, cables and accessories."
