I LOVE my new bag!!!

[vassello]

I received my bag today and really love it! It is well made, has a gazillion useful pockets and is not TOO big - just right. Thanks so much OP!

I'm glad to hear this! I just bought this today when I saw it on another thread. For that price, it's worth a try. I took the Baggallini in August to WDW and wasn't happy with it.

Is this bag padded at all? I would like to carry my camera in it also.

I also got a Baggalini and was thrilled when I tossed an old draw-string type back-pack thing in my suitcase "just in case". I hate that Baggalini. It was too stinking HEAVY.

This is a cute bag - but Ive been eyeballing those mini-JanSport backpacks....anyone see those in stores? Id hate to eBay one:

I don't remember the original post but wanted to thank the poster for suggesting this bag!

It is absolutely the right size for everything!! It will hold camera, cellphone and water bottle and a ton of stuff inside.

I LOVE IT!! And at 8.97 (16.55 with NJ tax and shipping)--a great price! AND it arrived in 3 days! (ordered on a Sunday--shipped Monday, arrived Tuesday!!)

Does anyone have pictures of what the inside looks like? I was wondering if it had spots for credit cards and what not. Thanks

There are no slots for CCs but there are PLENTY of compartments, including zippered ones. I will try to take a pic and post it for Friday (can't get it sooner - got church in 15 minutes and clinicals tomorrow for 12 hours!) if no one else does. Besides the two front zippered pockets on the outside flap, there is an additional zippered pocket on the bag when you open the flap, as well as an unzippered pocket and a zippered mesh pocket. Oh and 2 pen holders. HTH!

PS Those are in addition to the large unzippered compartment on the outside backside of the bag (when the flap is closed) and the huge inside compartment, which is divided into 2-3 other compartments.

I (actually my husband) ordered my bag (fatigue color) on Saturday and it arrived today (Wednesday). A nice surprise to a crazy day. I think I want another one if they have any left. Nice compartments inside and outside the bag. Plenty of room for a camera, snacks, wallet (large or small), and more. Excellent purchase for the money.

The pen slot is perfect for holding a Tide to Go pen! I bought one each for my mom/sister for Christmas (big trip to Mexico for New Years) I'm hoping to fill them with goodies, like a Tide to Go pen, etc. Anyone have any suggestions for little things I could fill them with?

Dh and I each have one, too! I LOVE them!

OK, I just purchased the Columbia Tour Pouch. Does anyone know if it’s waterproof or how to waterproof it?

 

[SmileMom]

I ordered my bag on Tuesday and received it today. I LOVE it!! Thanks to the OP for this great tip! DH and I found some super-sized fanny packs for $2.97 at Old Navy earlier this year, but this bag is more my style. It will be a big help for our trip in 8 days! Woo hoo!

 

[wdwpirates]

Got ours Tuesday. Also ordered the matching wallet for the DH and a smaller version of the touring pouch which is primarily for money and credit cards, great for shopping. Loved all three!! Thanks for the great tip!!!

I am a completely obsessed lurker on these forums! I've been wondering which bag to get (I've got plenty of time to wonder because my trip is over 6mos away!) and this one seems great. I just ordered mine and can't wait to get it! Thanks for all the helpful info.

How about.......
pouches of antibacterial wipes
gum
sunscreen
chapstick (maybe the sunscreen kind)
disposable ponchos
bandaids

I think that's a pretty cool idea! Are you guys going on the trip together?

 

[deekaypee]

Thanks for the link. I've been looking for a daytrip back that's slightly larger than the one I have, and this one seems to really fit the bill!

 

[Soupermom]

Yep. They'll be eight of us on the trip. DH, DS, DD, Mom, Dad, Dsis, BIL, and me. We all went to WDW in March--I planned. Now we're headed to Zihantanejo, Mexico the day after Christmas---Sis planned. Mom's in charge of the next trip!

I've never left the country so my DH, kids and I look like this

Thanks for the suggestions!

You should get it in time. Mom and I got ours this past week in 3 days. We are going the same time you are--we'll look for you and the bag!!

[Poohbear123]

I Ordered one too, hope its better than the Baggalini Message bag, that was a DISASTER!

 

[EeyoresBuddy]

We got our Columbia Tour Pouch yesterday!!!! It’s a great bag at a great price! I will take pictures of the inside and post them tonight.

 

[1Kristy1]

Wow! That was fast!! I just got my bag!!! That was the fastest shipping I have ever encountered! I ordered it on Sunday night and I just got it on Wed. Love it!! And the green isn't as ugly in real life as it was on the computer!

 

[EeyoresBuddy]

Sorry this took so long. This is a great bag and we even like the color!!
