How's the durability and will it hold TKD gear (chest protector, helmet, etc.)?

Hi Sharon -- The bag material is pretty thin, but I am finding it to be rather durable. It should be able to handle the TKD gear in pretty good shape. I'm happy with the bag thus far.

I haven't been too rough with mine, but the thing is pretty tough. However, the plastic zippers on the side pockets almost immediately tear off. The main pocket has metal zippers, and those are tough as nails. I've had mine for a bit over a year now, and besides the zippers on the sides coming off within about 2 weeks of purchasing it, it's still as if it's brand new. As long as you don't mind using the side zippers from the metal base that lays on the tracks, this thing probably won't fall apart on you. As far as space goes, I've fit 4 pairs of shorts, 4 shirts, a towel, a blender bottle, a pair of shoes and some miscellaneous hygiene products with a little room to spare.

I don't think the case would survive the baggage handlers. The material is strong and the padding good, but I don't think the zipper could take it.

It holds a boyancy compensator, boots, fins, mask, snorkel, regulator bag, and a few odds and ends easily. About 25lbs of gear. I imagine it would work fine for football gear though I'm not a sports guy so don't quote me on that. It's about 3ft long and about 1 1/2 feet in diameter and the mesh stretches. I would be willing to bet it would work fine for your application just watch that the cleats don't rip the mesh up.

Your welcome. I will advise you to cut a large piece of cardboard big enough to fit into the top pocket and place it in the top pocket. This will give your items a stable surface to sit on and will prevent the side to side bouncing or drag that could occur. Also be gentle with the zippers. I was a little rough and broke one of the zippers off accidently. The waterproof feature is great and stands up well as a hydrophophobic pannier.

It's not bad. We are using it for an ambulance.it can hold two liter bags of saline and a small 6x8x2.5 lock box. Hope that helps.

Easily. Wont be able to hold much more, but no problem. I put two half helmets in mine with room to spare.

Bag is durable as long as it's not packed heavily with multiple textbooks. My daughter used for one school year. It ripped eventually on the side. (Very small rip, she pinned it because she likes the bag still) Eventually we moved on to Attack on Titan phase.

With the padded shoulder addition it works well, rugged enough for aggressive use. With your size, limiting the gear inside will be required since it rests directly below the armpit. You can adjust where it sits with the belt straps.

I am not sure but it is large en po ugh to carry all my tri gear need. It also has dangling carabiners in case you would need to have more stuff hanging outside. I have the option of having the helmet hang outside or packed nicely inside the bag.

I guess it depends on how much equipment you're lugging around. It's a smaller gym bag than most use but it's deep and actually holds quit a bit. I used it travel for 5 days and it held all those clothes, shoes, toiletries, etc. I think you'de be safe but I guess you're the only one who can make that determination. :)

I usually carry my shin guards, wrestling boots, 16oz boxing gloves, mma gloves, wraps, a large roll of disinfective wipes, 2 waterbottles and i havent had any issues. If you want to use it for real heavy stuff i wouldnt recommend it.

I found it to be durable, although I only use it when I'm doing squats and lunges. I haven't used it under very harsh conditions.

Have not had it a year yet more like 6 months. Held up quite well so far. This is a duty type belt, fairly stiff, made for a holstered firearm. I don't wear it daily but know officers and fire fighters that do. The other 511 gear I do have is top quality. I wont hesitate to buy other items from 511.

The bag will not hold a full-face helmet ... only an open face, or ideally one of those minimal helmets without a face shield.

I road bike and at times worry about it opening. I've used it for a year and has remained secure. If I was mountain biking beyond a casual ride I would make it secure with a Velcro strap to be safe. The structure is strong and functional. The capacity is enough for two road bike tubes and tools with proper compact packing. I have had two other bags both had zippers that failed within a year. This one will not. Stay safe riding.

Probably, it's pretty robust. I don't know how long it would last if you were doing that alot. Take a look at this, this is it's natural home 1QT MOLLE Canteen Pouch Woodland Camo

it's quite durable. I carry mine around and use it in cosplay (being a 1:1 scale prop replica as well) and I have dropped it a few times. it's fallen from my pocket and such. and so far I have had a few problems... the casing seems unscratched (by casing I mean the remote itself) although the software seems a bit glitchy (light and sound doesn't turn off after release of button, light doesn't turn on, light and sound have a long delay) after. all in all it still works though. so it will survive a fall out of a shirt pocket, and being shaken (though that's when the glitching starts)
