Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

I bought this bag for a trip in September of 2018 and I'm still using it today. It is not very "stuff-able" so if you must have a big bag, you may not like it. The fabric (gray) is actually a plastic coated fabric, and is waterproof. The seams and zippers, of course, are not waterproof. When loaded, the bag is nicely square, the coated fabric gives it some structure, so it will stand up instead of collapsing into a limp pile when set down. Everything you've read about the "water bottle" pockets is true, however, they are the perfect size for eyeglasses. I keep my Rx glasses in one pocket and a pair of sunglasses in the other - no more searching for them inside the bag. The strap lengthens very easily and quickly to allow wearing the bag across the body, which gets it out of the way if you're doing something, like self-checkout at the grocery store. The zipper for the main compartment has two zipper pulls, a nice convenience. Although I like the bag, I fixed a couple of things on it. The zipper coil material on the outside pocket was cut very short and the ends are exposed on the inside of the pocket. Zipper tape is notorious for unraveling - I seared it with a flame and then stitched over the ends of the zipper to stabilize it. (This wasn't easy, but I'm a ninja seamstress.) This feature would be much nicer if the zipper was installed all the way across the pocket, from edge to edge. Stitching could be neater along the zipper edges, and the ends of the zipper tape would be enclosed inside a seam. I also finished the seam edges where the strap is stitched to the bag, these are accessible inside the main compartment and could fray over time. I added a key leash so that keys can be clipped to the bag. This makes it easy to find your house keys when you come home from a trip.
