I was shopping for a backpack and a light-weight, but strong, bag to carry some things around. I looked at the reviews on Amazon and found good ones for both of these items. I even found one from someone who claimed their first use was in the wilderness after hiking in
It is not required to read them all, though.
matchless avalon 30 review led me to believe that this bag would be what I was looking for. Upon receiving it, I was surprised at the size. It seemed much larger in person and also much heavier than it looked on Amazon. This is not necessarily a bad thing though and I really like the size of this bag. A lot of times my other bags are too small and I have to try to pack things in like clothes and toiletries and even shoes, etc… but this one is large enough to realley take care of everything I need and even some extras.
This bag also has an adequate pocket in the back which is nice and a large pocket on the front of the bag. The entire front is completely open, which means you can fit a lot more into this bag than perhaps other bags in its class with zippers and such to close this off. Since this is a shopping bag, this makes sense. You can fit a lot more into it and put a lot more in there than its competition.
matchless avalon 30 review also had several compartments inside to organize your stuff. The two things that were in it when I got it were the plastic piece found at the bottom of the bag to organize your items and a small nylon pouch with what appeared to be an unpadded laptop compartment. I didn’t try it with a laptop which was a shame since I was going off of the Amazon reviews.
I really like the design of this bag, though. It is really pretty with its zippers and geometric shapes, etc… It’s not so “out there” that it is offensive and it looks nice without being too feminine or anything like that, being a manly material. Also, even though it is big it still feels pretty lightweight to me when I am carrying it around.
matchless avalon 30 review was a little disappointed that the laptop compartment wasn’t padded and would be pretty useless for that, but I still think I might use it as an overnight bag or something. It is a good size to carry a bunch of stuff into the woods or something. So, since it has several compartments, it makes sense to have one big space in the big compartment in the center of the bag. I am sure you could fit even more stuff in there with some creativity.
Overall, I am pretty happy with this bag as it is. I think it is well worth the $25 I paid for it and even though I haven’t used it a ton (I did take it with me on an outing once and then carried things in to work, though) so far, I think this will be a very useful and versatile bag. The design of the bag is nice and the material won’t fade in sunlight which makes me happy…
I am also impressed with the fact that after several good reviews on this bag, they are selling it at a discount. This indicates to me that they have listened to the customer and have tried to improve on their design. I guess this is why they ask you to “contact us” if you want them to improve anything…
