    Bad zippers much cheap lining
  

*by A***G on Reviewed in the United States on March 7, 2018*

The outside of this bag is Fantastic. I love the velcro closure after rolling it shut - a nice touch. The bottle holders comfortably fit my insulated bottle (although a Smart Water bottle sort of fit but then popped out if that gives you an idea of size). Great shoulder straps, comfortable fit on my back, haven't used the bungee cross straps yet but I'm sure I'll get there. Great quality material..I thought I had a real winner!But...The inside lining is cheap. The zippers don't look very promising (it already came of the track the first time I used it) and none if it is "attached" to bag. So you can flop all the black lining inside out of the bag like a cheap suitcase. There are tons of pockets but to be honest -- it's complete overkill. I can't find anything I put in there and the stupid lining gets jumbled up and makes it hard to see anything. While the outside has different colors to stand out (which might help with the searching if the pocket zippers were different colors) it's all the same inside. The laptop sleeve isn't particular sturdy..just thin lining. It holds my MacBook Pro but if I add the soft-sided protection case it won't fit.Lastly, the pocket on the outside is massively deep. I thought it would be great for chapstick (I'm in the sun all day) or other quick grab-and go items (wallet, keys) but it all falls to the bottom of the bag and I'm digging around in there for ages. The laptop sleeve is what really sold me on this guy, but it seems like a half-assed afterthought.I'm on the fence about returning it and going with the Friendly Swede or a similar one. The inside is just overkill and the lining is driving me batty. Maybe if you are a crazy organized person who just uses this for travel this would be a good purchase, but I use it every day as my purse when I'm working on the boats and kayaking and it's just too complicated. I live on a sailboat so dry bags are a necessity.Update: I didnt return it but I did buy the friendly Swede one for my boyfriend. He loads that thing up and it holds everything. Very durable.Meanwhile after 6 weeks of use the front zipper on my outdoor foundry broke and came off the track into oblivion so now my front pocket is useless. Ill make due with my gazillion inside pockets I guess.Final update: I started using the gazillion inside pockets instead of the front pocket and the zippers fell off within a few days. I'm updating my review to two stars. The shoulder straps and clips are nice, and the bag hasn't leaked. But I went with this one because of the interior additions and the outside pocket and all that didnt work out. hopefully they will improve and release a new version.

    Great!

It is larger than I thought so it makes a great laundry bag, but too big for everyday use.
