This bag fits the gap between a piece of carry on luggage and a briefcase. On my recent trip, I used it as my personal item on an International flight so did not overstuff it. The bag performed well and held most of my flight items, my blazer jacket, and a rain shell. The bag is built like a tank. It is simply bigger than expected. That's good in that it can handle more gear, but it may get heavy quickly and bulky if you fill the side pockets. Not overstuffed, however, it was a squeeze to get it under the seat in front of me on a 737-900 standard shorthaul national carrier flight. So I would not overpack it. Save that for car travel. The bag is handsome and a dark green to gray color when it arrives. One quibble I have is with the leather wrap that snaps the two strap handles together. The fit could be snugger; there is some play between the leather sheath and the handles when clasped together. This may be by design but I could also see carrying the bag like a carry all for long periods of time leading to fatigue especially if you have average sized hands. The 2 inch wide cotton shoulder strap is very comfortable and distributes the weight of the bag evenly. I probably did not need the leather shoulder pad. The only other improvements I would recommend are a removable partition and an organizer to manage documents and papers better. I picked both up at a travel and school supply store for about $65. The FR organizer seemed to be out of stock or manufacturing. Lastly, I would recommend the option to add an O-ring somewhere in the main compartment to hang keys, smaller bags, or other items that get lost in a large bag like this. Overall: Highly recommended bag. I'm glad I purchased it and will likely hand it down to the next generation.
The navigator is exactly what I was looking for in a an everyday computer briefcase. I like that if I am carrying only a few items it can somewhat collapse to seem smaller than it is and yet it will “expand” to accommodate a lot of things. I have carried a computer along with a projector for presentations. I have also used it as a computer/ camera bag combination. I use an insert that fits perfectly for the camera and extra lenses. It is very solid and I hope to get many years of service from it.
Beautiful craftsmanship. Everything I wanted, couldn’t be more pleased
It’s the perfect bag for under-the-seat flying. It holds my laptop + cables, a set of clothes, and other items that I need to have outside of a checked bag.
The quality top-notch and it has a very cool loo to it!
I'm using my bag for work carry my laptop and business supplies for daily sales activities
