Seam ripped where handle attaches to bag. The construction is not robust for expected applications. It’s pretty disappointing, I would not recommend this bag.
Backcountry36Sounds like I'm not the only one this happened to. Customer service is fine - they'll replace the bag if you send in pictures of the damage. To buy or not to buy because of that depends on your priority.
I'd rather pay more money for the bag that never rips, than get a replacement for the bag that ripped when I needed it not to.
This bag was really disappointing. I bought the bright orange for use with my Search & Rescue unit. On first use during deployment, the seam at the zipper ripped apart creating 5" wide hole. Rendered it useless for protecting anything from the rain.
a-non-y-mousUpdate: After exchanging pictures with customer service, they sent a replacement and a return label for the busted original. Customer Service rep said they've sold hundreds of these and this is the first report they've received of the seam ripping apart, so maybe I just got unlucky.
New one survived a round-trip flight with connections, and being filled to the brim. Little bit of reassurance there. It still appears to be just a single lock stitch around the zipper, which is a cheap stitch for an area that gets a decent amount of stress applied to it. I'm planning on reinforcing it with a stretch triple straight stitch so I've got some peace of mind.

I'm ok with this purchase, but don't think it is a great deal. It isn't as sturdy as some bags I have gotten and the backpack straps are no good, they don't stay put, they slide out easy and are impossible to get a good set up because they don't bite. I'm used to heavy duty bags like billabong, this bag is one tenth of a billabong bag. i never thought a Billabong bag would rate higher than this brand.
I purchased it mid last year. I travel offshore with it and it's fine... Shows scruffs very well and the shoulder straps are not the best. But it get the job done.
I was on the last drop for this. I like it a lot since it's a good size and has hi-vis coloring. I haven't taken it out and about yet, so I can't review how it holds up out on the trail. So far, I'm pleased though.
