    Great Satchel, but...

    The satchel itself is great. I do however have two points that some might like to hear. The first is that the strap is short. If you are an average sized male you would be best to get a strap extension. The second point is that as a Canadian customer, the price point quickly got VERY high with shipping, exchange rate, and import duty and tax. (It cost $75 to cross the border). While this is by no means a reflection on Frost River or their products, I will not be able to shop with them again - and I own 5 other pieces of their gear. In fact, I am not even willing to purchase an extension strap as it is cost prohibitive with all of the other charges added on to get it to Canada.

    Just the right size for most EDC needs

    Sometimes you don't have enough pockets, or prefer not to stuff them with all of the things you want to carry every day. Fanny packs haven't been a thing since the 80's, but this Archaeologist Satchel is a great solution. It's not too big nor is it too small but a perfect 'Goldilocks' size that will hold the basics. I'm retired military and have a cross body bag that has a very tactical look, but for times where I don't want that I like this satchel as an alternative. The workmanship is excellent and the materials appear to be first rate plus it is made in the USA! It does have a certain Indiana Jones vibe but don't let that distract you from its versatility. Definitely worth considering.
