This was a great buy before my trip to Africa. It was wonderful to have everything I needed right at my fingertips!!!!

This was a great bag to take on an international travel trip of mine, but the internal liner fell apart only after 2 weeks of use. Everything fit great into it as well. Passport, cash, banking and credit cards, iPhone, tiny digital camera and memory cards etc. The external canvas material is still like new, but the thin synthetic material for the pockets started to first tear around the main pocket where I kept my passport (it is where the show the smart phone in the pic on the right hand side of it while open). I only took it out to show my passport (which you do a lot on these trips mind you) and the US passport started cutting the material. Eventually it tore on its own and I can't keep my passport in that pocket anymore. Truth be told I'm still going to use the bag, but if I had to do it over again I'd look for another bag that was canvas on the inside as well.

Bought this for added EDC use. The size was ok for it use, I quickly found it small for the amount of stuff I needed to carry plus the added weight when I filled it with a small first aid kit, notebook, swiss army knife and a couple other stuff put a little too much weight on the side of my pant belt. It comes with a strap to be worn as a shoulder bag but that defeats the use I have for it. All these things are not negative to the bag. However, it does have short comings. The velcro used for the cell phone pocket is nearly worthless, fuzzy and does not secure well, the cell phone pocket is also rather baggy and its design is not the best. The overall material for the bag seems rather cheap but expected for such a cheap bag. It could have benefited with dual zippers for the pockets. The material of the bag is rather thick and you find that it can limit the useful space in the bag, it also impacts parts like the pen pocket which is rather tight and you have to work at it to loosen enough for a typical ball point pen to easily go in and out of it. So while not a terrible bag, there is room for plenty of improvement.

Bag is great BUT one of the snap fasteners that holds the strap to the bag fell apart so I'm having to use a snap ring to be able to use it.

This bag quickly adjusts from a shoulder strap style (unsnaps and resnaps) to around the waist for hands-free shopping; bag isn't left in a cart where it could be stolen; debit cards and/or checkbook are easily reached at check-out, ink pens handy, ID is visible without having to remove it from the bag, a cell phone is in a handy outer pocket. The perfect bag for an on-the-go women with numerous errands to accomplish -- a practical, no fuss bag without 20 pounds of clutter to lug around. Declutter and streamline -- there's places to go and things to do!

I had a small bag I used for everything but I needed a new one and searched the web, made a few store purchases before settling on the Rothco Venturer. This is pretty amazing. It's extremely compact with sections for camera, datebook, phone, credit cards, lipstick, glasses, keys and I even got a small flat bike water bottle into it. Plus I really wanted an accessible change purse and bill holder. It has all this. I love the army green, it's very sturdy and cool looking. The price is beyond low! I think this would be fine for a man too.

Man, this thing would be great if the pockets were just a few millimeters larger. The credit card and ID pockets are just a very tiny bit too small. Love the quality of construction and material, but can't really recommend it due to the size. Size does matter sometimes.
