I have had this backpack for a little over a year. I do not use it as a gear bag but rather as a uniform bag. There are times when one only needs their uniform and not all their gear. I was looking for a bag that would handle that. The design and make of the bag is exactly what I was looking for. I have no problems with the design. The problem is the construction of the backpack. The major problem is the plastic being used. The plastic is cheap. I am a student so I have several backpacks plus I use them as day bags when I travel. I have never broken a plastic clasp ever. The plastic buckle for the straps of the back pack have broken. I set the size when I got the bag and have not adjusted it since. The next problem is that it is starting to become undone across the seem lines. the sewing is not very sound. The back is coming undone within a year. It has never had more in it than a clean uniform, a book, and perhaps a change of clothes. I have to stress that the design is good but the construction is awful. Buy a regular backpack from Jansport or Eastpack and sew on a Taekwon Do patch and you will have a better bag. ProForce should have known better.

It is an excellent thing, I gave it to my grandson for Christmas and he is very happy. He uses it to take his books to school and he says that it is very useful.
