PIP Review - Lo & Sons OMG bag on petite frame...

[cransplash]

Since I found this bag on here, I thought I'd review this bag. I am petite (5'1"), and I struggled b/w the OG and OMG. I eventually decided on the OMG bag and so glad I did.

The bag is SUPER light. I usually carry a laptop messenger bag from Timbuktu, and I thought that bag was light, but this OMG bag is SO light.

I love the waterpoof material that the OMG bag is made of- very durable and high quality.

I forgot to photograph this, but the side has the "shoe compartment". If anyone wants to see this, it's on the video on the Lo & Sons website, but I'd be happy to picture it.

Overall, I am super pleased with it, and I cannot wait to use it on my travels! If you have any Qs, please feel free to let me know.

Here are the pictures:
Here it is on my shoulder:


Here is the bag:


Here is a closeup shot of the front pocket- I love the individual pen holders, the key ring (I always lose keys in large bags like this), and additional pockets for CC/cards, small items that tend to get lost easily without a pocket:


Here is a snpashot of the inside of the bag- the back pocket is for your laptop (13"), then the pocket is front is great for files/paperwork/iPad, and then the bag is pretty deep in depth size:



The other side of the bag (interior) has 2 more pockets, perfect for laptop chargers, iphone charger, and other misc. cords. I love all the built-in pockets/organization features!


You can tell the depth of the bag, so it can actually fit a lot of stuff inside:


Here is the double zipper back so it can slide on the handles of your luggage:

What an awesome review - thanks for taking the time cransplash!! I can't wait to get my OG bag! I was wondering what all the compartments looked like inside, all the blogs and reviews I've seen only show the ipad/laptop pockets. This is super helpful.

I am glad you found the review helpful. I have gotten so many good ideas/suggestions off this board so I wanted to "give back".

You will love your OG!

It kind of reminds me of MZ Wallace - the nylon. It looks great for travel. I always use my MZ Wallace for travel too.

Great review! Love the red color!

Thanks for the review! I can't wait to get mine!

Cute, cute!

Nice! I've seen the videos on the site but it's good to see from someone who actually has it. I think it's a great sized bag too.

[beaglechon2012]

Thank you for the review! I :heart: that bag so much and really want one. Hmmmm maybe an anniversary present?

Do you think it would work as an everyday work bag?

Yes, I actually do. My work laptop is 15" so it won't fit in here, but my personal laptop is a Mac and fits great. It is deep enough for my lunchag, can add my iPad, and even fit my pumps if I want to walk in my flats.

I just noticed tonight that it didn't come with the wider strap so I emailed Lo & Sons to ask if they'd forgotten to include it, or was it hidden in one of the many pockets?

[brooklyn]

Cransplash, my strap was definitely a bit hidden. In the front part where the pens/keys go, I think? Or the inner zipped pocket?

Thanks for the tip brooklyn- I checked the bag again, including front pocket, and no strap I emailed Lo & Sons last night- I'm anxious to hear what they have to say

Exactly what I was looking for Cransplash. Going for my first Lo & Sons bag and still undecided between OG and OMG. I see the OMG looks plenty big on your 5'1" frame. I'm 5'6" and wondering if the OG would be overkill. Has anyone gotten the OG? Thoughts? Happy or wish you'd gone with OMG? Thanks!

They just posted another 25% off code on their fb site too:)

For 5'6", I'd go with the OG bag. I wish I could have gotten the OG (more stuff to fit in), but with me being petite, the OMG was a good/better fit. I know quite a few people on here got the OG and have been very happy with it!

I'm 5'7" and I went with the OG. I was unsure too, but I am so glad I chose the larger size. I traveled with it this past weekend and it was perfect - definitely not overkill and it fit everything I needed. I love this bag!

[pooh8402]

this looks like something I would love as an overnight/carryon bag. unfortunately, I don't travel enough to justify it. at least not on planes.

[cagirl]

I'm deciding between the OMG and OG. Wondering if OG fits under the seat on a place so that I can use it as a personal item in addition to a standard wheeled carry-on luggage. Thoughts?!

[bimbi284]

Cagirl, the OG fits under the seat (i think it actually mentions it on the site). A fellow s&ber has confirmed this.

I think I'm getting the blue OG for my upcoming bcn trip!
