I recently won a bag from the Jetpens' random giveaways. And now that I've had it for a couple of weeks and have used it off and on for that duration, I thought i would write a bit about it.
The bag that I won was the Nomadic Toto Tote Bag, and I decided I had enough black bags and that I would totally dirty up the beige bag within no time, so I went with the grey bag. The people at Jetpens were fast and efficient, the bag showed up within a week of me emailing them my address and color choice.
First -- as with all nomadic bags, the plethora of pockets and stash areas.. Oh my! The bag has a tag that explains the pockets for the bag and depicts what goes in where.
Look at all those pockets! Ok so I cant read Japanese, but I can sure follow pictures. There looks to be 2 pockets for stashing water/bottles of whatever. There is a pocket for ID's inside the large pocket. There is also a velcro'ed pocket for electronic devices (phones, cameras).
Here is the bag as it was first unpacked from the box that I received from Jetpens.
Look at all those pockets! Pocket envy -- The only problem is I have issues in finding things once i stash them into random pockets so this bag may prove to be my downfall :)
This is the bag stuffed, maybe not fully stuffed, but enough so that you can see how much it holds. The far left is the bag full -- the right 2 pictures are what was put in the bag. The far right picture was in the back pocket. The picture in the middle with the 2 jr circa, 1 nomadic pencil/pen bag and a delfonics bag with the contents of my purse (sort of like my purse organizer).
The bag is very useful so far -- I've been able to downsize my work bag/purse. I am able to put everything i need for work into the bag and keep my purse to a small bag, rather than using one of my larger totes for work stuff + purse. In addition, it holds a Letter sized notebook meaning I can carry larger sheets of paper rather than folding them for the smaller work bags that i use.
Something of note though -- one of the pockets in the back has a smaller stash section -- i tried to put pens in it, but the pens caps stick out -- not quite secure. I'll see if i can get a picture or 2 of this in the next couple of days and post an update on here.
I think this may be a great bag for travel --- I would be able to stash things in the various pockets and be able to access them without much searching. We shall see since I'm going to be going on a trip in a couple of days...
