Favorite Bag
9/7/11 by Mel
I break purses quite often, so I was looking for a near indestructible bag that I could use as a purse, I have not been disappointed. This bag has survived my wear and tear like a champion and it is super comfy to wear. It is a bit smaller than it appears to be but the dimensions given are accurate so if that is a concern just double check. The back pocket is a bit tight but it fits my Nook and my day planner perfectly so I don't mind that at all.

Clumsy and Tiny
12/22/11 by BC
Unfortunately suffers from the typical Chrome bloat wherein it gets uncomfortable and awkward to carry as it nears capacity. Manageable on my Citizen, but it causes the Vega to become a little unwieldy as it bounces around. Furthermore, the carrying capacity is positively minuscule, and by time I've got a modest amount of stuff packed away its already getting chunky and stops sitting right on my side or back.
As a longtime Chrome user I was hoping for the Vega to do the same thing for my iPad as the Soyuz did for my laptop. Unfortunately it has neither the stability nor space I need.
Great bag but here's some improvement ideas

I am a Chrome junkie. Bought this bag and took it on a 5000 mi Harley trip. Held up great my iPad fit nice too. Good construction. But as with many Chrome bags I had to sew on a top handle. Better for the grab and go. Also I agree with an earlier review that the back pocket should have been designed to hold a file or small portfolio 81/2x11 size. But overll I truly like this bag. Highly recommend it.
followup to an earlier review

I have had this bag for several months now and wanted to follow up. My only new criticism is that after a bit of use the strap tends to bunch up in its bracket. This is somewhat minor and I'm not sure what the fix would be, but it is a little annoying. I am less bothered by the wimpy velcro - this bag is small enough that it is rarely an issue for me. I do still find that I would like the outer pocket to be wide enough to hold an 8.5x11 document without folding. I will stick with the 4 stars, but will also say that this is probably my favorite small bag ever. It is PERFECT for my ipad2. The fact that I came back to this site to see if there were any limited addition Fall color offerings is testament to my affection for this bag, since I would consider buying another if there were some cool new colors.
great bag just what i wanted
8/29/11 by Dan
summery says it. just what i was looking for. simple yet carries what i need it to. and while keeping it dry. i had bought a chrome citizen and was unhappy to find it way to large for my needs ( it is now a travel bag. perfect for carry on) so i called chrome asking what bag they thought best for everyday carry and the man i spoke to recommended the VEGA. good recommendation. thanks.
only thing i would change would be adding a hook or some other way to attach my keys to the bag some where. other then that. totally happy with both bags i got from chrome. im sure i'll buy more from chrome in the future
Pretty sweet.

I quite like this bag. It's great for when you don't need to lug a messenger bag.
As others have said, it seems smaller than its measurements would have you think, and the flat pockets are kind of goofy. The pocket on the back is extremely handy.
Nice bag

I like this bag. True that it does seem smaller than it looks in the photo. I would like to see it slightly larger in the front-to-back dimension. I like a bag with an exterior rear pocket, and this has one. This pocket tapers toward the top, however, making it too narrow for 8.5x11 paper documents or most magazines. Not sure why it is like this, but slightly wider would be nice. I agree with the comment about it needing slightly beefier velcro too. This is a great bag, but falls just short of being perfect, IMO.
Ultimate iPad case
10/23/10 by Jon
After purchasing other options to carry the iPad, I found one of these in the Black/Brown color combination. It is just super for the iPad, and I use it every day. My only suggestion to Chrome and other messenger bag mfgs is this: Please add some volume to your sewn-in pockets. Everyone seems to be adding flat pockets which are kind of useless.
Great bag, slightly smaller than it looks in the picture, could use a few tweaks
9/27/10 by Jay
I've only had this bag for a few days, but I already think it's great and will suit my needs very well. It's very well put together and the fit & finish is exceptional. This bag was built to last and I'm sure it will. I love the seat belt material for the strap and the buckle is easy to use and adjust. Best of all it's made in the USA!
I have noticed a few things that would make this bag even better. First, it doesn't sit up very well on its own. On flat surfaces like tables and desks, the bottom slides out and it ends up on its back (or front) quite a bit because it's canvas on the bottom, there's nothing with grip. This also makes it somewhat difficult to load because it continues to slip out from under what I'm trying to put into it. Next I'd really like it to have a handle so I can pick it up and carry it briefcase-style. This would also help when loading the bag to have something to hang onto while trying to keep it upright. A handle might also provide a natural creasing point for the flap. There is a plastic "ring" that secures the looping end of the seat belt strap to the bag that I wish was metal; this seems like the weakest link in the bag. I also agree with other reviewers about beefing up the Velcro. I would love to have a key hook/loop somewhere inside the bag. The rest of the organization inside the bag is great, but it has no place for my keys... One final thing is that I got the black-on-black version of this bag, and the inside is also black. Having the inside of the bag be a color other than black would make it much easier to find things in the bag.
All in all...I love this bag!!
9/22/10 by Theresa
All in all...I love this bag. However, because I have used it everyday of my life for the past year I can point out two things I would alter to make it that much better. First, MORE VELCRO. That tiny little strip just doesn't cut it. Second, Make the strap able to be shorter. Sometimes if the bag is super heavy, I would like to be able to tighten it up so that it rests on my upper back/shoulder blades while riding my bike. Unfortunately, this bag doesn't tighten past mid-back making the weight pull on your shoulders and often leaving me super sore (not the bags fault, the fault of the stuff in it!). I don't know what I would do without it though!
Good bag, could be great with one fix
9/16/10 by James D
This is a great bag for taking just the basics out. My one suggestion if I could change anything would be to double up on the velcro. I'm used to my Citizen where I can just drop the flap and it's secure. This one needs some attention to get fully closed and even then it doesn't feel super secure. If the velcro strips on the bag and the flap were wider and "caught" easier I'd call it perfect.
Perfect for the weekend!
9/2/10 by Melissa
I first bought the Corsair (which I love), but then realized that I needed to have a smaller bag for rides and walks around the city during the weekend. The Vega is the perfect size to hold essentials.
Perfect Urban/Travel Purse!!
9/2/10 by Erika M
The Vega in red & white turns out to be the best travelling purse & everyday purse! I wanted a tough purse that can go anywhere & it handles super well around town & also is super to travel with riding on public transportation, flying, riding on bikes with & then just running out the door as well! Super sturdy, awesome front flap....holds the essentials & the back pocket is great for carrying boarding passes & maps! Recommend it highly! :D
Love this bag..
