I had been using a freezer bag for about 10 years now to carry all kings of things, from frozen goods, normal shopping, tools, to cameras and lenses. I prefer such a bag as I found them to be much more waterproof that conventional bags. My current bag was really showing wear, so it was time to get a new one. I searched for some time , on and off, as I also wanted a bag that I could take away on short trips as well, and came across this bag. which was in three sizes. Although the smallest was about the same size as my current bag I went for the middle sized one as it would give me some extra space.
There were many other bags available, many much more expensive, however, I preferred the look of this one, especially as it had a top compartment that was separated from the lower section, so I purchased this one. I was somewhat amazed at the quality of the bag, very well made, with the front and side pockets were being a real boost when travelling. I have taken it to London many times now as a travel bag, and the separate top section was very useful for keeping the items one wanted to get to quickly away from the bottom of the bag. The zips themselves were of a very good quality as well, and I did not experience any problems with them catching on the side material, as so often happens with other products I have.
I have now taken the bag to London 4 times now, carrying it day after day, all day, with quite a weight in it, however, no more that indicated in its advertising with many cans of drinks. The only problem I have experienced is with the shoulder strap. The strap itself is not that wide, and the protective cover, shoulder pad, which slides along it, can twist back to front, with the strap being twisted inside it. This is constantly happening and makes it much harder to carry on ones shoulder. Thus, I feel the strap and shoulder pad needs to be much thicker, with a way to fix the shoulder pad in place. Apart from that I have found it a very good bag even for its intended purpose.
