Love it! This is the "Swiss Army knife" of bags. It's got lots of great features and best of all they are all useful. The water bottle holder can actually hold a (small) water bottle (with my sunglasses case in the other side). There's a place for a cell phone, pen, keys & small items that is easily accessible without having to dig through the main compartment of the bag. The main zippered compartment is large enough for all the stuff I lug around on a daily basis without being so huge that I feel like I'm carrying an overnight bag. The adjustable strap, although not padded, is wide enough so that it's comfortable to carry either over one shoulder or across your chest, messenger bag style. Great bag for everyday use and seems very durable/cleanable. Granted, it is not something you'd wear to your favorite dressy restaurant with a little black dress, but for casual everyday errands it rocks! Zappos was super- quick and easy to deal with, this is my second zappos purchase in 2 weeks and both times the items arrived in 2 business days!

Great Bag! This is the first I've owned that actually helps me stay organized and I can find my keys, bus pass and anything else I need quickly. I recommend this bag to anyone who works outside the home and also for the mother with kids.

Small and neat - This is a very versatile bag to have. With several pockets and a large enough main section to hold a good number of items. I work in Kuwait so, whenever I travel home, I like to carry a book and music to listen to during the flight. This bag makes it very easy for me to carry everything I need in one bag. Best of all it doesn't have the grandma look like a lot of other everyday bags.

Great bag - Purchased to use as a purse while in New York for six months to carry all my essentials. Great bag. Lots of compartments and great organizer bag.

Functional Bag - This bag is very functional. All of my things can fit into it with room to spare. The various exterior pockets are wonderful. Also, the bag is comfortable when wearing it cross body. Finally, the price is right.

A purse that looks small but has a place for all my stuff - I love my new purse. It was well worth the money. It looks small but it really isn't. I have always purchased a large purse because of not enough room in the smaller ones. It feels good not to carry a purse that looks like an over night bag. I like the wide shoulder strap. I would recommend this purse to anyone including a man. The side pockets, you can actually carry a water bottle on each side. I use one side for my sunglasses the other for my hairspray and brush. I give it 10 stars.

Nice Practical Bag - I've been looking for a bag like this and was so happy to find this one. It's a great bag for everyday use. Not especially stylish looking but it's practical, nicely made, durable and meets my needs. I love the water bottle pockets, they really sold me on this bag. My only complaints are that the shoulder strap could be more comfortable and I wish it were just a little bigger (I carry a lot of stuff). Otherwise I'm very happy with this bag.

Overland Equipment Donner - I purchased this bag for an upcoming trip to Europe. I wanted something not too big yet able to keep stuff easily accessible and organized while doing the tourist thing. This bag fits the bill. While not super stylish, it's still cute. Love it in the green. I love Zappos!!

Great travel/diaper bag - I bought this bag to take on vacation with my kids, and it was great! I used the back outside pocket for our passports and tickets, which made it easy to find and show these items at the airport. I loved the side pockets for water bottles and sippy cups, put my house key on the key strap, put my wallet in the inside flap and filled the interior with diapers, wipes, etc. I bought both the blue/lt blue and grey/yellow versions -- gave the blue one to my mother because I liked the grey one better. Loved the strap, which can be worn cross front or over shoulder. A truly wonderful bag. My only suggestion would be to offer funkier colors (like the Timbuk2 bags).

Truly perfect for mommies! What sold me on buying this bag were several reviews saying it was great for moms. I have two small children under the age of 2, so I've been on this quest to find a bag that was very functional but that would be cute enough to carry with me even without the babies in tow. I have been extremely happy with the Donner bag! It is more casual and sporty, but I'm a casual person so it really works for me. It is just SO functional! I am so much more organized when I run my errands and am out and about with the kiddos - I'm so glad I found this bag!

Love it... just what I've been looking for! Not big or cumbersome, but holds a lot. Clever design (love the front outside pocket) and stylish. I currently use it as a baby bag, but I also use it when I don't have my little one with me. I love it!!!

One star for "truth in advertising" Darn. Well, I love the design. The strap is really nice and smooth and comfortable. Color (Laurel/Sky/Silver) is beautiful and subtle. NOW FOR THE DOWNSIDE: Overland used to be made in CA, which is why I spent the money for a bag instead of going to a cornerstore and buying one for $14.99. Granted, the design is wonderful and the quality seems good, but I'm annoyed when I pay more for something and it's not made to the advertised specs. Also, the "sunglass/cell phone" pocket is not padded. Some descriptions will say it's fleece lined, but it is just the nylon. Now I have to decide whether to keep it or not. :(

Great medium bag - I was looking for a great cross body bag for walking in the city and travel. This fit the bill. It’s hard to really get a good look at it from the picture, and I was a bit apprehensive when I took it out of the box as it looked smaller than I expected, but it really does hold a lot. My big pet peeve about most bags labeled 'cross body' is that the strap is long, but not long enough - meaning it may be long enough for a size 2 teenager, but not your average adult. This bag's adjustable strap does extend to a very good length, and the main bag can lie at the hip area or a bit lower. The two size pockets are great for a water bottle and small umbrella and the back pocket holds maps and a decent sized travel book. The inside it roomy enough to hold a checkbook sized wallet, but it’s probably best to downsize to a smaller wallet to fit more items in. It took me a while to get use to the front flap area, but it's great for pens and other items you may not need right away. Overall, I'm VERY impressed with this bag. Great for travel and general use - especially on public transportation.

So cute, but maybe not big enough for a diaper bag - I bought this bag on the advice of other reviews as a diaper bag when I'm not using the stroller bag. I have to say that, although the bag looks great and is well constructed and designed, it's really not quite big enough for the diaper essentials. This would be a great bag for long walks, with the bottle pockets and pockets for other things, hooks for keys, etc.

Better than expected - I loved this bag! I was looking for a bag that had some organization help. This is amazing without being totally dorky. I love that I can get my water bottle in it to go to the gym. The materials are very high quality and the strap is very smooth. The bag is less utilitarian looking than it seems. I am an orange lover and this is the perfect shade of orange. Not too deep or bright. I also find the size to be perfect. I highly recommend this bag, especially if you are tired of hunting for your things in your purse like I am.

This is a fantastic bag! Bought it for a trip to Italy and it was perfect. Very lightweight and not nearly as bulky as a backpack. It even fit my big Canon Rebel XTi camera and two large zoom lenses. The front flap has several small zippered compartments that fit my money, ID, credit card and passport. The outside "end" compartments both fit water bottles. Highly recommend for any traveler.

I love this bag! I love Overland Equipment, I already own the Placer bag and use it for vacations (the size is VERY handy!). I bought the Donner bag because we needed to bring some water bottles and extra supplies for this year's vacation. This bag is amazing; you can put water bottles in it without getting a really bulky look! I have the holly red one, but the picture does not look like the bag, it's almost more of a salmon color but looks amazing with the silver trim. Overall this is a great brand and worth the investment.

Perfect for my trip to Europe - I ordered the Overland Donner bag for my first trip to Europe. I wanted something that would let my hands be free for changing planes and when touring. My black Overland Donner bag and my black North Face Grace raincoat were the two best things that I could have brought on the trip! I thought the bag was going to be too small but, when you are touring all day you really don't want to be carrying too much. The inside of the bag fit my wallet and the raincoat (tightly rolled up)...the outside pockets kept my small travel journal, tissues, pen, and euro coins handy (for the bathrooms!)...also really appreciated the two water bottle pockets-great for water bottle on one side and umbrella on the other. Strap easily adjusted for cross-body wear for airport/touring or over the shoulder for dressier look at dinner. Only thing I would change is for the Overland label to be smaller and the strap to be black. LOVED this bag and happily recommend it.
