I bought this bag as a replacment for the one I hade made that was starting to fall apart. While the fabric is durable and the compartments large I had a few minor problems with this item.
#1: The flap that covers the main compartment and is saposed to velcrow in the front is awkword and often (if the bag is too full or not full enough)dosn't meant with the velcrow unless you manually place the two parts together.
#2: The velcrow is weak and more than often doesn't stay together.
#3: The strap of the bag, while comfortable often twists near the bag itself where the rings hold the strap to the bag. While this isn't that big of an ishue I find it rather annoying while as I have the bag and the strap is twisted it tries to pull the ring to the same angle casing minor pinching sometimes if trying to ajust the bag.
#4: while this isn't a problem with the bag itself I find it rather irritating. There are metal snaps on the two side pockets of the bag, while this may prove useful at some point I find it annoying now. I carry a stainless steel waterbottle with me in these compartments on the side, since the ones in the front case the bottle to fall out. The metal on metal scraping is near to the sound of nails on a chalk board to me. This comes to my point (I know what you're thinking "this even had a point?" and let me rely with a simple and sweet, yes.) There is no need for the snaps and they are hard to undo, even with constent use they still haven't gotten easier.
Anyway, over all I would buy this bag again... and perhaps if I got the chace to do over my purchase... I'd buy a glass waterbottle too! I hope my annoying ranting as helped. C'ya! ^-^
