Perfect for me

This bag is great. Everything you need, nothing you don't. I was skeptical about the leather shoulder pad, but it has been a game changer keeping the bag from sliding of my sloping shoulders. I recently injured my shoulder and needed something I could carry like a backpack, but just on one arm, and this thing is comfortable, holds plenty, and the padded computer pouch gives me peace of mind when I'm lugging my laptop around our backcountry workplace. A note about size of the laptop pouch, for those interested: I have a 15" laptop that is pretty thin, and it just fits perfectly. Anything thicker would need to be under 15" screen width to fit comfortably in the padded pocket, I think.

This was the perfect graduation gift. The Frost River team was incredibly helpful and went above and beyond to ensure the bag was monogrammed in time for the event. The quality and customer service is unmatched!
