 The Crumpler bag has just one big compartment where you can dump stuff into, and three smaller pockets on the sides, of which one is closable with Velcro. There's also a smaller compartment on the front with a very sturdy zipper. The shoulder strap is obviously adjustable and the pad that slides over it is very comfortable for those bigger hauls. The material of the bag is made of some sort of (semi-) waterproof nylon fabric that has yet to let me down. It does stain, though: the inside clearly has been through a lot. Another upside of the fabric: it's easily washable. I've got this bag more than ten years ago and it's still as reliable as ever: that's a pretty good indication of quality for me. Granted, the Velcro straps are in need of a bit of maintenance with all that cat hair gradually reducing the adhesive strengths, but that's not too difficult to look after once in a while. 
 
-The pen pouch my wife got me can hold up to six pens but becomes quite bulky if rolled up. I usually don't carry more than four fountain pens with me and have never felt the need to take out more than two on a work day. Most of my serious journaling or fountain pen playtime happens after working hours anyway. For the extra-nosy: the pouch currently holds a Pilot Custom Heritage 912 WA, a Pilot Capless F, a Lamy 2000 F, and a Sailor Pro Gear MF. I don't think it fits oversized pens like the Leonardo Momento Zero Grande. I've had this pouch for six years and the leather strap you use to seal it is starting to become a bit torn, but other than that, it's an affordable roll and I highly enjoy the format. I do think my next one should be a fabric-based one with a joyful pattern instead of a leather one.

+Oh, and if there's a bit of train commuting involved, the book I'm currently reading also goes in there. Probably also a Nintendo DS Lite or Game Boy Advance, slipped in one of the side pockets. 
 
 I should probably also mention that the back flap of my notebook carries various national and international stamps, just in case that email needs to be printed and mailed pronto. You never know!
