Pakuma definitely makes some cool looking bags, but the great thing about them is they know how to make a bag work. They design it right and make sure all their bags are comfortable to carry. The Pakuma Choroka K2 Computer Messenger Bag has a comfortable strap that’s in the right place and fully adjustable. There’s even an extra strap that stops the bag from slipping around to the front. Really handy if you’re on a bike! And there’s a good amount of space, aside from the padded laptop compartment, with extra spaces for stuff like an iPod. The inside is lined with light grey fabric, so you can see what you’re looking for too, rather than delving into a dark abyss when you’re looking for your keys!
Here’s the manufacturer’s description: “The Choroka K2 Computer Messenger Bag combines indigenous style and intricate design with unique, durable and functional features. All Pakuma computer bags are capacious, but neat, with a specially designed COCOON™ protection pocket for your laptop. Now inludes non-slip shoulder pad!”

I would give this bag an overall ranking of five stars because I like the looks and it’s definitely a well-made messenger bag. But I feel it’s a little pricey for a company that does not yet have the long standing reputation that some others have. It could just be that I need to have a problem with one of thier bags and put Pakuma’s customer service to the test before I can feel good about paying a little more for thier brand.
My Overall Rating: 
Dimensions: 14.5″ x 11″ x 7″
Max Laptop Dimensions: 14.76″ x 10.04″ x 1.57″
Price: $70
