How strong is the bag? Does it stretch the stitches or latches when filled?

I use it for work (laptop) & travel. So, I fill it up! I've had no problems with it @ all!It's used everyday & she's as good as the first day I bought her which was when I first posted my review. It's a bag that I constantly get compliments on.

The bag is built very well. The stitches do not stretch when filled. As for the latches there are several holes to use when closing the bag so there is no need to stretch them either. I was very impressed with the quality of the bag. Definitely a great buy.

It's very strong. I keep my laptop and books in it and honestly it gets better the more you use it.

So far, so good. We use it as a book bag, and fill it with HS textbooks. Holding up well.

It seems very strong. My husband keeps it fiilled up and has been using it everyday since we received it in March. I have not noticed any stretching of the stitches or latches. We've been very pleased, and I would definitely buy another as a gift!

Both myself and my boyfriend go at the bag pretty hard, with and without gloves. The only issue we have is that it makes a certain noise when it's gone beyond its limit. But as far as stability we've had zero problems. I would recommend filling it with sand over water, but both work

I can't say for sure. All I can tell you is that the measurements they give are very accurate. And the bag is very flexible so there is room to stretch a bit.

sorry. i cannot give you answer, because i use 55aw. the only advice to you is to use the strap with metal hooks. if it is made of plastic or nylon, the shearing force could easily cause it to open and the bag would drop.

It easily goes in and out if the bag isn't too full. The velcro straps become undone if it is.

The snaps are surprisingly rigid. As long as you have them completey closed they will remain closed. I have used this bag for over a year now and have never had any issues.

I fill mine pretty full sometimes and haven't had any issues. The only issue that I have had is that the loops at the top of the bags...where u place the metal hangers through rip at the seam but I have sewn them back together and haven't had a problem since.

I have stretched it over huge heavy loads of bagged leaves in the bed of my pickup truck and it has not torn. It seems to be made of quality bungee cord material. Let me suggest though that one might do well to remove 12 of the 16 hooks as all you really need are the corner hooks. The excess hooks, if left on, present a huge problem with the whole net getting snarled up like a Gordian knot. I have stretched this net from the front tie downs, up and over bags that were 2' higher than the cab and then connected to the bottom of the rear bumper with no problems. But, of course, I lash a few pieces of 550 nylon line over the top to prevent shifting and to secure the load more snugly.

I'm not exactly sure but it is similar to reusable bags. I have found it to be plenty sturdy, though, to hold my infants clothes.

It actually unzips and rolls down. The biggest issue we've had is that the fabric has torn along the stitches above the bottom hooks in the front (near the feet).

I used it this winter for pulling my kids behind the quad. The bottom shows small signs of wear and tear but not close to wearing through. I did have to reconnect and retighten one of the handles. It didn't break - just came loose. So I recommend tightening the handles before use.

While I feel the bag is well made and could support five pounds the danger is that the string handles would pull through the holes that they go through. The strings have plastic ends on them like shoe string caps. If you were to take the time and tie a large knot on each string that wouldn't pull through the bag then I feel you would be fine. These are very nice bags, well made with a insert for the bottom of the bag so that it sits flat,

WE WERE GOING TO MAKE 72 HOUR EMERGENCY BAGS OUT OF THESE. Its possible. We did it but it will only hold the bare basics and is not comfortable to wear. It is better fit for a child. We went with another bag

It will but will be a tight squeeze. If you are not rough with the bag, you'll be ok

i was suprise too. but if you fold the edge, do it like a paper shopping bag, than its a vritical bag. but need check the stitching, if any thread is lose, a open hole there.

It's pretty sturdy. I've used it for kids art projects including tracing their bodies and we have had no issues with tearing.

The bag is a heavy-ish material and it can stand up empty. That said, its not very heavy so it will tip over or lose its shape if you are putting in big branches or lopsided items.
