    Nice bag, but strap is about 5 inches too short.

    Nice bag and great compartments/organization, but strap is about 5 inches too short. I drilled out the strap rivets to disassemble the strap and made a longer strap for it using the existing shoulder pad and buckle. I used saddle leather I dyed to match the original. I used brass chicago screws to attach the strap, which are nice because they are removable. With the longer strap, it is a great bag. Probably should come with a longer strap, most people don't have the materials laying around to do what I did to fix it.

    Worth Every Penny...

    This satchel, like all their products, is a carefully thought out design executed with high quality workmanship. Their photos do not do it justice. The interior of the bag is where it shines. The ability to organize what you put into it means it can hold more than you think and provides efficient, quick access to gear. The Archeologist Satchel is all I need when roaming away from camp.

    Archaeologist Satchel

    Lovely satchel, quite a bit smaller than I imagined. Should have looked at the specs more closely. Will only hold two smallish books that's about it.

    Great Satchel

    Great bag. My college age son wanted something rugged but stylish. This satchel looks awesome, material and color are beautiful and compartments are great.

    Will have to get back to you

    The bag seems great, but I haven't used it yet because the strap is apparently for a medium sized child. Wearing the strap fully extended crossbody puts the bag uncomfortably high on my side, somewhere around my elbow.
    I'll save a full review for after I can find/purchase/make a strap that's actually long enough.
