    I love this bag! It straps securely to my upright suitcase to give me extra space for all of those travel items I need to get to fast—like my boarding pass, passport, etc. It makes getting through security SO much easier. And once I get where I'm going, I just take it off my suitcase, pop on the strap, and I have a roomy messenger bag to hold all of my stuff when I'm out and about. Did I mention that I love this bag?

    Looks like I bought it at the "dollar store" rather than Brookstone, and much smaller than I envisioned-- so I haven't actually used it and can't report on durability, though it leaves a few question marks on that level. My trips are usually too long to trust something that looks like it won't live through the trip. It does allow me to get weight off my shoulder and onto the wheels as I go through the airport and it does fit the suitcase, though not the computer.

    Comments about Saddle Messenger Bag:

    This practical tote fits right over most rolling travel luggage making it very comfortable to transport. The temptation is to fill it too full, so that carrying it without its placement on wheeled luggage, very heavy. Not its fault! I carry my iPad, Kindle, cell phone, and all the charging devices in one compartment, leaving plenty of room for daytime needs in others.

      This was the best purchase I have made for all lengths of travel bar none. Two friends have bought after seeing mine. Two perfect strangers have stopped me in airport to ask how and where they could get one. Don't think twice to buy one if you come across one...you won't be sorry. (cb)

        Doesn't accommodate a laptop

          Comments about Saddle Messenger Bag:

          I loved the idea of this saddle bag but it seems useless without the ability to carry a laptop. It would be an easy fit to make the compartments just 3-4" longer. Very disappointed.

                  Comments about Saddle Messenger Bag:

                  I have shoulder issues, so standing in the many lines required for airplane travel was difficult. If my carry on was propped on top of my hard-sided suitcase, it was top-heavy and tippy. The saddle bag idea is great! Now I can wheel my carry on right to my seat without the struggle of juggling two pieces of luggage.

                    Comments about Saddle Messenger Bag:

                    This is an amazing product that always gets head turns. But I'm 5'4" and when this saddle bag is attached to my Dash luggage, I have to be careful not to angle the roller bag too low. I have a hole in one of the pockets of my saddle bag now because it evidently dragged on the ground during one of my recent trips. I try to keep the Dash roller bag more upright now, but that is a little tiring after a while. That said, I do find this product extremely useful when I'm on a flight and I don't want to open up my carry-on. Be warned, however, airlines see this is as your 'personal item', so be prepared to combine this with a purse or computer bag you might have in addition to the Dash luggage.

                      Works great! Took it on vacation-- it attaches easily to my suitcase, and comes off easily to keep with you when stowing the suitcase. Very roomy, with convenient storage compartments. Holds my iPad, plus plenty of books and stuff.
