I don't carry a laptop or papers. Is this bag useful for stuffing items in, such as a light jacket and random things? Or is it too flat/structured?

You can definitely stuff it. Last time I carried my laptop, a water bottle, a pouch with pencils and markers and a fully inflated official sized soccer ball inside a box. on a separate occasion, i had my helmet, lock, chain, and a sweater in it. i have a size medium.

I don't carry a laptop all the time too and have been using this as my main bag for traveling as I pack one or two days of clothing inside. . I would recommend using a Grid-It organizer with this bag for smaller stuff like chargers etc.

you can but the bag does not have a cover or much padding. I don't think I would carry my laptop in there all the time. In a pinch it would fit but not a bag that I would carry it all the time. There are no slots or compartments on the inside so other stuff would have to be on top or underneath.

Although a laptop could fit in this bag I would see it more fit for carrying a tablet or something similar... I personally carry a small Kindle Fire HD and it fits comfortably along with photo gear. Its definitely an odd bag, but very useful and well constructed. The design is rather strange for most folk and the user has too appreciate the fact that it doesn't look like a camera bag. .. hope this help you w your decision!

It's not fully structured but the fabric is thicker and i think the base is sewn to stand up on its own. I use it as a diaper bag and when it is packed it will stand up on its own for me. I think that if i used it for school with textbooks and a computer the weight of that might not stand up on its own but I've never tried. It has a full zipper top closure, a large zip on one side and the other 2 outside pockets are pretty deep so the stuff i put in there rarely falls out. I love this bag!!! i have never used any other bag since my baby was born, there are so many pockets, it is awesome!

Depends on how light you can go. I use it for daily commuting, it carries a change of clothes, lunch and a book or two with miscellaneous items like keys, wallet, tools, etc. If all you needed was a couple changes of clothes and miscellaneous gear it would work. It works well for what I need, easily secures to the rack and has some additional space on top with elastic net and strap.

Surprisingly, The bottom is not padded well. You can feel a couple layers of material but no foam or padding, so I just make sure not to drop the bag. The front and back are well padded and the compartment could hold 2 laptops, tablet mouse and snacks. Would I but it again, yes, it's a good price and I like the squareness of the bag. Hope this helps.

No, this would work great as a work bag! It's not bulky at all, I had one & now I wish I never got rid of it:(

It depends on what you're trying to carry to the beach, but I would think so. I use this as my work/computer bag. I fit an ancient (i.e., rather large) laptop in the center laptop pocket, with plenty of space for folders and other odds and ends. It stretches, so I've been able to carry oddly shaped items in it with ease. Since it's neoprene, it's pretty much water repellant, and very easy to clean. The straps are comfortable and are surprisingly not too slippery, so I can imagine it would be good for lugging things across a beach!

Probably don't want to. A co-worker has one similar and his bag is loose, kind of wobbly... Its from caring too many things in it. Its a small, tight little bag for just the small stuff. I carry my MacBook Pro 13", iPad 10", external HD, Mouse and a few styluses. Anything more is too much.

yes, sure. It's a really amzing confortable bag: light but also able to contain number of stuff (and device also).It has a button to close it, an external pocket with zip. I bought it for me and then other 4 as gifts and they all got exciting comments (and I see people using my gifts!!, this means it met their needs). I really recommend it.

I guess it's good for your laptop and some books but definitely not for a weekend trip kind of bag,it has many pockets but not so much room as it may seem on the pics

This is a great bag for throwing a few extras in and carrying around - snacks, cords, etc. I would not use this to fit clothes as I genuinely don't think you can fit clothes AND other items in here. It's not tiny but it's not spacious.

I LOVE this as a computer bag, but don't use it for clothes. There is a large front pocket where you could fit a shirt and pants - not flat, but wouldn't hold a business suit.

I just put a few sheets of computer paper in there and it just fit in so you shouldn't have a problem. Or you could always just switch to a smaller pad of paper like a 5x7. By the way I'm very pleased with the bag overall.

This bag is really more of a "in a pinch" kind of deal. The material is basically the same as those reusable shopping bags that stuff into themselves, or fold down to a little square. I'll put it this way, I'd carry some clothes in it, not much would fit in there though. I wouldn't put my laptop in it unless it was my absolute only option.

I use it to carrying cannon t3i and my flash , filters and all my extra lenses as for carrying a laptop no it really does not fit into this back pack basically I can get everything I need for photos but a laptop just doesn't fit not even my iPad fits in it. I will say it is is good for day trips I have used it for many nature hikes to protect my camera etc but if you lolling for something to carry computers us all your camera equipment I wouldLook for something designed specifically for that because this is not

When it's empty it's pretty thin, it stretches pretty big. I use it as a laptop/tool bag with chargers etc. And everything fits good.
