JJRING Large Art Portfolio Bag, Heavy Duty Artist Backpack with Handheld Strap, Art Supply Tote Bag for Carrying 18x24 Artwork, Drawing Boards (Brown)

5 stars. Exactly what I wanted.This bag is large. I threw a L 26 x W 20 panel in and it held it nicely. That's about as large as I'd be able to go width wise. The various buckles and D rings around the bag are great. You can use carabineer clips on the D rings, and the clips hold everything snug.The quality feels really nice. I haven't put it into extensive use yet, but just by feel alone I'm confident this thing will hold up to hiking trips with paints, panels and easel all packed in.All that said, there is one improvement I would make. It do not make the bag of a less quality, it's just something that'd be nice in a 2.0 version of the bag.The inside compartment is very large, and that space can be utilized a bit more with standard pockets. Could be layered pockets of equal size, or a couple long pockets and a couple wide for brushes, pencils, sketchbooks, miscellaneous items that may not fit anywhere else.I know I'll use the front pockets for my tripod, brushes, and medium. So inside, I would like a place to specifically store my bag of paints, paper towels, panels, easel, etc. I'd rather not have to rifle through it as I'm setting up. Pockets on the inside would fix that. Otherwise, fantastic bag.

It is bigger than I thought and that is actually good. I have the MEEDEN Pochade Box and it is kind of big but will fit in this backpack nicely. I will be using it for the first time next month and will give a followup review after I use it.

At first I was so not sure about this pack ! I gave it some time before i decided to pack it out and take it to paint . It’s light , has some good areas to keep some needed items . I’m trying it for second plein air outing tomorrow! First time was ok ! I forgot two items ! This time it’s all there everything!

I am an urban sketch artist and was looking for a way to transport my tripod, easel, art supplies, and panels in a way that protected them and would make taking my gear easier. The canvas is sturdy, the stitching is acceptable. I like the color of the backpack. All too often black is the only choice. This is a lovely camel hue without military connotations. It has many pockets and straps to carry a tripod, chair, art supplies, ect. It is big enough to handle a french easel or larger pocade box, although I would recommend finding a pad to place between yourself and the wooden accessories for comfort.It turned out to be far too large for my general use. My gear got lost in the huge pack and it overshadowed my body's size when I wore it. It is not the most comfortable pack to wear and I would not recommend it for day trips where you are out the entire day. That said, I have decided to keep it. I do carry in art to Comic Con every year and as an art hauler, it might prove to be useful since some of my art is quite large and I usually only have one trip to get to my panels in the art show.So I'm on the fence with recommendations. If you feel you could handle the large size of this backpack, the materials and sewing are good. If you are a large person, the size might not be as much of an issue for you. As with all things, research and make your own decision.

The backpack is made well and has plenty of room for the artist supplies. Great looking color. Superb pack for all artistic endeavors.Excellent quality!
