Really like this bag! Tons of pockets, nice color(olive). Should make an excellent replacement for my current one. No damage to speak of thankfully but the bottom seam looks like someone just sewed in the extra thread(poorly, since it’s sticking out the outside) instead of cutting it off. Guess that’s why it was on meh.
I got my backpack today. Mine is fine. The olive color is a little more green than in the sample photo, but more grey than the walmart version. I like it! Happy with my purchase.
Got one of these back in February. Like it. (Ten dollars cheaper today, thinking about getting another one.)
Only down side, I thought the tassels (the zipper pulls) were defective since they are split at the ends. Came back to look at the picture, and seems they were intended that way. Guess I would have been gauche to have glued them together, though I was tempted.
@phendrick They are your tassels to do with as you please. I kinda think they would look better not split like that as well, though I have had my bag for a few weeks so I don’t think about it much anymore. You do you.
@hchavers At first I read that and thought you said “edible”. Then I re-read it and thought you probably actually did mean to say “edible”. Then I decided I had already put too much time and energy into this and moved on.
@hchavers a friend had a golden retriever that, aside from digging in your unguarded pack for food, would also pull out loose papers and shred them (good for the homework excuse), and run off with any clothing items (hats, scarves, gloves, spare socks) that it found. Never ate the actual pack, tho, so maybe the answer is maybe.
@RedOak They did when they said 45% Canvas. Since they separated out the 50% cotton, I would venture to say the Canvas portion is not cotton or “may not be” cotton so they report it as Canvas which could be cotton, hemp, flax, or others.
Trivia: The noun canvas comes from the Latin cannabis by way of the Greek kannabis, meaning “hemp," which it was originally made of.
So why isn’t forum activity down 97% with face pop sockets being sold?
Is there anything else Meh sells?
Hey Meh how about a 30 page summary of the Panama papers for $3?
I’d had a really long cold spell with meh purchases, with none between June 2018 and March 2019 -except for the December 2018 Irk, which was undisputedly the most regretful Fuko/Irk that I’d ever received. But in the last month I’ve placed four new orders and snagged another Irk.
@outdoorslife When these went on sale last time I missed the opportunity (sold out maybe?). I did find some reviews but seem to remember they were mostly from a UK site. Really like this bag and glad it’s back available.
Got the olive one last time, it was a good deal at $10 more. There are some things to complain about, but nothing is a show stopper:
The chrome plated clips that fasten the bottom of the shoulder straps are really cheap (see 7th picture). As in they WILL break if put under a heavy load cheap - the fragile part is the ring that creates the swivel. With all of the room in this bag, it’s almost guaranteed that they will be under a heavy load. I replaced mine (one was already fracturing, the other didn’t look like it would be far behind) with these from Outdoor Wilderness Fabrics. Had to hand-sew them back onto the strap, but I have much more peace of mind.
The strap adjustments are a pair of metal D-rings with 90 degree edges (instead of being round edged). They do not adjust easily, but they hold their position like crazy (part of the reason they are hard to adjust). See picture 9.
The trolley handle sleeve on the back (see picture 14) is pretty narrow and does not fit one of my roller bags - fits the other one well, and I suppose the narrowness helps keep this relatively form-less bag upright on a trolley handle.
So what do I like? Everything else. The zippers work really nicely. The fabric is casual-looking. There are TONS of pockets and spaces. You can cross-connect one strap for a sling-bag effect and tuck the unused one into the back sleeve. The handle at the top is crucial and useful.
I had the same problem as @Jonas4321 with the swivel breaking. The post came right out of the hole as I slung it from one shoulder to two. Fortunately I had ahold of it and was just collecting my bags after a trip to Mexico so it didn’t put a damper on trip. But it does seem fragile given that the less used strap broke.
@k3p13r You can buy the ones I mentioned above and replace the cheap ones. A bit of sewing and you have a bag that rivals the quality of its clone from Lands End. My friend has one from them that is exactly the same from the outside. The LE bag has similar but higher quality swivel clips as the originals on the Dopp bag. It cost her over $100, so even after replacing the swivel clips, mine is still a LOT less expensive!
Do not order from this company, they are rip off. I ordered a pressure cooker,it was damaged refused package, sent it back, they will not answer their email,they have no phone number, beware, beware,beware
@Velvetta OK, not sure what your beef is. Your profile shows no orders, and the last time meh sold a pressure cooker was a long time ago… over 2 years in fact.
CS has been great the few times I have had to use it, so ???
@Velvetta Hey, we got your messages and we sent a reply on 3/29. Like @RiotDemon mentioned, it may have been filtered to your spam or promotion folder.
CS is here Mon-Fri 9am-5pm central answering all of the wonderful messages from Mehtizens and beyond in the order in which they are received.
@Velvetta I’ve order a cubic ton of shit from this place over the years and have had zero issues with them. Only thing you should beware beware beware beware of is your wife chewing your ass out because meh packages keep showing up on the front porch.
I got this bag last time. Love it! Lots of pockets and reasonably well constructed. Fits under airline seats and the top flap allows for easy access. I’ve got mine loaded up and it seems to be holding together well.
I do wish the was a bit more padding, but it’s not bad.
Well, I was hesitant but all the positive reviews make it seem like its worth it (especially at $20) and I need a new “in-town-going-to-meeting” bag so …
/giphy flavored-brave-station
@millept Fits well. I am not embarrassed to say that I often carry my 17" laptop, Surface Pro 4, Galaxy Tab A (10") and 8" Kindle Fire all in the main compartment, with their adapters, cables, a mouse and other crap I need for the day on a regular basis. This bag fits them all with ease.
Well darn. Wanted to buy one, wanted to wait until i could check to see if I needed 2. But my mom is in the hospital and we have guests in from Iowa and I just got back to the hospital and had time to look one last time and make a decision, but noooo…sold out. So Meh people, if you happen to find an extra 1 or 2 of these laying around, please send them my way! I’m sure we can work out payment arrangements. Thank you.
Whoo Hoo! Mine arrived today, a full 3 days before the expected date. I don’t know if that was just the way it worked out or if someone at meh put a rush on it (I sent a note to try to get it as early as possible since I am leaving for France next week and wanted to take it with me).
Either way THANKS!
A few thoughts on the bag itself:
Waaaay bigger than I had anticipated (which is great)
It seems pretty large across the width, which I love
There are a metric shit-ton of pockets… yippee…
Construction quality looks pretty good.
Seems to be comfortable to wear.
Heavier than I expected at a touch over 2 lbs empty.
Piggyback slot is about 8.5 inches across… plenty wide!
Color is nice, not too light so it shouldn’t get dirty quickly
Very retro, WWII vibe to the whole ensemble.
I will let y’all know how it works out over the next 3 weeks!
@chienfou
Wow… That was a PITA trying to get my pic to load. S7 wouldn’t play well with the forum… Had to email myself then use the tablet… Too to much time while I’m on vacation,!
Got my bags (one in each color) and they’re great! Lightweight, surprisingly roomy and good looking. I use it as a work bag to carry my laptop, notebooks, etc, and have received a lot of nice comments about it from folks at the office. Much happy .
FTR - The colors actually are exactly as pictured.
This is the best product and the best deal I’ve found so far on Meh. I’ve made some other purchases here that were definitely meh when I received them. This item is not a meh, it’s a hooray!

So glad I bought for 29 a month ago. Yay for me!
@osiris3mc Same. Still a pretty nice backpack. No regrets.
@osiris3mc yes, very annoying for us cheapskates.
Bought this last time. Well worth it.
No reviews on Amazon, but there are a few on the forums here from the last time this was sold (February 27 for $29).

@The_Tim yep! I stand by that statement. I just wish I had gotten it for today’s price
@The_Tim that was the one reason I was going to scoot over to Amazon. Thanks for saving me the trip!
@The_Tim I got one last time. I am pleased with it.

Again with the jacked up (made up) model number… D0NT-D0PP-M3-N0W
Props, Meh.
Under $20 is always a good deal.
I have bags from past deals so I unfortunately have to pass.
@JT954 That’s no excuse. I have 3 or 4 previously-purchased Meh bags in my closet. Doesn’t stop me from grabbing this one too.
@JT954 @The_Tim I’ve got every knapsack MEH has sold in the past year and a half…I use them all the time…
I bought an olive one, but my order number lied to me.

Is the polyurethane editable? Looking for a homework backpack that can survive the dog excuse.
@hchavers At first I read that and thought you said “edible”. Then I re-read it and thought you probably actually did mean to say “edible”. Then I decided I had already put too much time and energy into this and moved on.
@hchavers a friend had a golden retriever that, aside from digging in your unguarded pack for food, would also pull out loose papers and shred them (good for the homework excuse), and run off with any clothing items (hats, scarves, gloves, spare socks) that it found.

fits the personal size measurements for under seat from Allegiant and American AND slips on luggage handle?..BUY!..Thanks MEH!
@fastharrydotcom were you buzzed?
Huh? When I think of “canvas”, it is typically cotton. So, 95% cotton?
Or is the 50% “cotton” the lining part? And the 45% “canvas” (cotton) the exterior part?
@RedOak that 5% is the “Polyurethane leather trim”.
“No idea what 50% cotton, 45% canvas means.”
@RedOak Canvas is a coarse material that can also be made from hemp or flax.
@cengland0
So why not say that - whichever it is?
@RedOak They did when they said 45% Canvas. Since they separated out the 50% cotton, I would venture to say the Canvas portion is not cotton or “may not be” cotton so they report it as Canvas which could be cotton, hemp, flax, or others.
Trivia: The noun canvas comes from the Latin cannabis by way of the Greek kannabis, meaning “hemp," which it was originally made of.
@cengland0 @RedOak so what is “duck canvas” made from?
@stolicat Never heard of duck canvas before but here’s your answer anyway:
/giphy maximum-bare-family
Worth the $20. I needed a new bag.
@professahx That giphy could have gone in a far less socially acceptable direction…
Still upset with meh. $10 less within like 40 days?! That’s just asking for resentment…

If I needed a backpack, I’d definitely get this. I just got too many. Cool item tho. Always wanted a canvas bag.
This is a good bag. I’m not sure I’ve gotten ten dollars worth of use out of it this month, but I have gotten some.
You bastards talked me into this.
I’d had a really long cold spell with meh purchases, with none between June 2018 and March 2019 -except for the December 2018 Irk, which was undisputedly the most regretful Fuko/Irk that I’d ever received. But in the last month I’ve placed four new orders and snagged another Irk.
Way to turn things around, meh.
/giphy floral-independent-cover
boy, I also suffer from too many backpacks, courtesy of meh in some cases, but I really like this, especially at this price.
@oldmantick you can’t go wrong at 20 bucks. I paid $10 more a month ago. It’s pretty nice looking and holds my IPad 12.9 nicely.

How does a 17" laptop fit in it when it’s only 16" deep?
@millept 17" refers to the diagonal screen dimension. I’ll let you do the Pythagorean thing.
(Or maybe it’s “mehgic”)
