FAQ
Does a water bottle fit in the gator pocket?
The outside end pocket of the Gator can accommodate a water bottle up to 3" in diameter.
It would make my day/year if the gator could hold a surface pro...any chance? All the way from scotland!
From what we gather, the Surface Pro is between 11.3 and 11.5 inches wide and thus should just fit in the padded sleeve of the Gator. It will be snug and if it has a bulky case that may prove to much but the main compartment has a lot more flexibility to accommodate.

Gatoriffic! The product is what it represents and is well make and thought out. Worth the price, really is a great value. Look forward to many years of use and enjoyment. I have all ready referred friends.
Love My Gator Bag, bought another for a gift. My own Gator Safari Bag replaced a medium weight Swiss Army Bag which I had travelled with for years. I have enjoyed the access and capabilities of this bag for my travel. I bought this new one as a gift for one of my sons.
I wanted a change from my usual carry on camera bag for safaris. I searched for several months and settled for the Gator EDC bag. It came today and I quickly put my Nikon Coolpix 1000 in it and it fit perfectly with room to spare for batteries and accessories and a little makeup. It is very easy to see everything and organize.
EDC carry all. Excellent organization, perfect size, the Gator is 1st class style and function. I smile every time I pick it up.
Bought the Gator bag to carry my clarinet (in its case) and related items, but it proved too snug to do the job. However, it's now holding 'Gertrude'', our Garmin c340, for which it works beautifully.;;;;The Gator Bag is beautifully made (as usual), and should last at least as long as we do
