I use this bag at least twice a week as a hiking/walking bag for taking my dog on 3 mile walks. I use it to carry 2 water bottles, poop bags, cell phone, keys, etc. I've had it for a couple of months, and it has held up well. It's a thin, lightweight bag so it's good to know it will hold up and not rip. Plus, no matter where you bout the item, Eagle Creek guarantees their products for life. So if it ever rips, a zipper breaks, etc. call up Eagle Creek and get it fixed or a replacement.
