It's not a purse!

Okay so here is the deal, a little while ago I decided that I wanted to carry a bag because I had lots-o stuff I wanted to carry. Things like a cell phone, PDA, sketch book, magazines, pens, pencils, and a bunch of other stuff too. So I decided I would get a bag, not a purse, a bag for men. I started my search, I didn’t want something to big like a brief case, and I’ve already got one of those. The brief case is great for work I wanted something for more of a everyday use. However I didn’t want something to small either, this was a very difficult situation. Every bag I looked at was either way to huge or super tiny.

I finally settled on a bag made by Timbuk2, they make courier bags in San Francisco, and some other really cool stuff as well. At first I thought the cost was a bit high but once I saw the quality, the price seemed very fair. A heavy canvas feel with a rubber lining to keep the rain out. After I found the bag and the color scheme I liked, yes you can get all sorts of color combos or even create your own, pretty cool huh. Anyway I decided I would order my bag from Zappos. They offered free shipping on the bag and the cost was only a few bucks more than ordering directly from Timbuk2. Plus Zappos has a great return policy, 365 days for any reason as long as the product is in its original state. So if I decided I didn’t like it I knew I could return it.

I ordered my bag on a Wednesday and got it on the following Monday, wow I thought that was fast for the free shipping option. I had order the Timbuk2 extra small courier bag. The dimensions said it were about 12×8, it sounded like a good size but in person it looked small. I know its extra small so what did I expect, well it just looked a little too much like a purse. So I ordered the next size up from Zappos, that would be just the small size of the bag, about 15X10. Again I ordered it on a Wednesday, only this time I got it on that Friday, WOW. The bag is awesome, great quality and looks pretty cool too this bag was exactly what I wanted. I followed the return process for the extra small bag, which was really easy and three days later I had my money back.

So if you are looking for a great bag then check out
