The handles look thin? When you start to use this bag for a long period of time. i think it will start to wear.. what is your opinion on this?

I've had mine for about 2 months and I've used it everyday to lug around my laptop, binders, and a whole lot of other things, it gets pretty heavy for me but I don't feel like the straps are thin at all. I'd definitely choose this one over a similar one that I had seen at Target. The one I had seen at Target was definitely something that wouldn't probably have lasted and it was more expensive..

Maybe the quality in production has gone down. Over the years the quality of mine is still like new(taken good care of it), almost bought another one recently. I love my bag. The price and temp. rating, but I've also read mixed reviews. Don't forget a sleeping pad! It will make a huge difference in your comfort and keep you warmer. I think many of the bad reviews may have forgotten this and blame the bag. You loose body heat to the cold ground. I hope this helps!!

I believe since this bag is a heavier canvas and cotton inside it should hold up extremely well. I love mine and you shouldn't have to wash this one often. When you do have to wash it; you will want to go old school and air dry it, not machine dry, to avoid the bad lumping of the insulation. Good Luck and hope this helps.

Yea.. The size is absolutely fine..!!! The quality though.... Is just not really durable.. I guess we have our bin bag for year or two .. And it's deffinetly lost its shape and stretched out.. So now it looks more just like a black garbage bag...!! I would recommend to shop around.. In stores .. And check them in person.. And buy a lil more expensive item but better quality ...

I would have to say the handles are more for your hand. Would be nice if it had adjustable strap!

It is not very strong or durable. I would only recommend it for light use. If you use it daily keep the weight in the bag very light.

Not to me personally. My handles are still intact. The cross body strap is what I typically use.

Unsure which bag you are comparing to so difficult to compare for you. I can say, I have had this bag for about 8 months and am pleased with quality and functionality. I would make sure to purchase it filled!!! They pack bag correctly and evenly. I would even pay the extra to have them pack it!!

Ive had the grill for a month now and am still on the first bag. I dont use it that much though. Thats a hard question to answer since it will vary on your usage.

Ibe been using it for a while now and they hold up just fine. I actually really love this bag. Wayfaring also makes a pretty good bag that comes in a red Hawaiian print of a pink purple floral print that is also pretty good. It's a but bigger though and doesn't hold its shape as well as this one.

The handles on the bag are very securely fastened. The handle/pull mechanism has held up really well for me. I have even put items on top of my bag, increasing the weight, and it's has performed really well. I love my bag!!

As a guy, I feel (and think) I look fine carrying this bag. It seems more sporty than anything. I am more than happy that I bought this bag and carry it around everywhere I go, just in case something picture worthy pops out. That being said, I still call it my murse. :)

I have not had any issues with the zipper on my bag. I haven't had the opportunity to use mine as much lately so, I don't have a lot of wear. Right now, everything is solid.

It was very light "but"!!! The price is right but you get what you paid for. The bag did not last much more then a year. I was hoping for more. You would be much better off paying more and getting a good product. Good Luck!!!

I would have to say yes. I have never seen a bag this big.. "long" I guess is a better word. It is not cheaply made and should last a long time as well. It is worth buying. I do not think you will be disappointed. You may complain more about how big it is than how little it is. Hope this helps.

I think it would be ok, the bag is roomy and well paded. Price could also drive your decision. Its not fashion.

I'm a guy and I have this bag...I've not gotten any comments about it looking like a purse. I think the shoulder pad and size clearly separates it from the purse category. It's far less purse like than in the photos. I also carry mine cross shoulder so it's even less like a purse and more comfortable to carry. I don't know that it can be mistaken for a purse any more than any bag that a man would carry, except for a briefcase or the large square traditional camera case, which in my opinion screams "snatch/steal me as you ride by on your bike!" My best advice is simply carry a brick in the slot next to the camera and if someone some dude says "nice purse" smack the crap out of them with the bag...the ensuing concussion should give him a good reason to think before he says anything similar in the future. Finally, since you won't be pairing it with high heels, I really think you'll be fine. :-) Of course I'm teasing you a bit, but seriously, I wondered the same thing but now think it's fine and not very purse-like in person.
