I have the Sharky Tote 42 in the Black/Blue Stars. I managed to get it with the Black Friday discount (30% off), and I've carried it every day since I received it in the mail.
I'm overall very satisfied with the bag! The canvas straps actually "stick" to my shoulders very well without slipping off. I have multiple Gotham Totes, and the handles on the Gotham are comparable to these totes. However, the leather Gotham handles are constantly slipping and need to be readjusted. Not with the canvas totes!
I've stuffed mine to the brim, and it holds the shape and weight very well. I can tell that this will be a workhorse. I do wish there was an inside pocket of some sort. I'm a little weary of what to do with my wallet in this bag so I've kept it in my coat pocket instead. I have the Rexy Turnlock Wristlet 30, and I think I'll use that inside of this as a storage pouch. I keep my train/bus pass in one of the Card Pouches, which is then secured around the handle.
I've just ordered a vertical Sharky Tote, and I can't wait to move that into the rotation. With Chicago winters, it's nice to have a durable bag that isn't leather. I always hate to expose my nice leather bags to the harsh and bitter cold winds.
