Decent bag, not for the long haul

The Velcro never stuck well whenever the bag was full and I would move around with it. I am currently typing this after the second zipper finally broke after two months of use. I used this product with care as it stored my DSLR and all of its components, and in return I am out a bag and cant take my camera anywhere until I get back from vacation.

Nice size bag and very handy, but after 4 months  it's got a tear/hole right under the upper attachment point for the shoulder straps. I guess maybe I've put too much weight in there but nothing extreme (fins, towel, goggles, and a change of clothes) so I just expected it to hold up a little better. It still works OK and like I said it's very handy, but I find myself carrying it like my old mesh laundry bag instead of by the straps. I'm now looking at a backpack-type bag by Speedo that's gotten pretty good reviews.

Great computer bag for a large screen laptop.  Enough space for portfolio with lots of papers & computer accessories.  5 stars if there was a little more padding on the bottom to protect laptop.

Updating my review after 18 months of almost daily use.  It's a spacious bag for odds and ends, and for the low price, I'd buy it again.  But it's starting to come apart.  The interior fabric lining the compartments is tearing and stretching, and just this past week a buckle game off one of the front pockets.  I'm going to try and repair it, but Kattee is no Coach in quality.  But since the price is so much cheaper, I'm ok with that.  It's a bag that looks good, works well for hard use, but don't expect it to last more than a few years of constant use, international travel, etc., especially if this is your go to bag for everyday.  Would I buy it again?  Yes, for the discounted price of $150 I got it for, but not for full price.

Nice bag. If you put any bottle sin the mesh side pockets, the whole lunch bag droops - the bag is not as sturdy as I would like. Also, even with an ice pack, things don't stay cool very long. It is decent for the price.

I enjoyed the style and look of this backpack a lot. It also had plenty of space for notebooks and accessories when attending classes at university. However, the shoulder straps have begun to separate from the backpack. If purchasing this backpack I recommend to keep the number of books in the bag as small as possible if carrying a laptop as well.

The laptop pocket could also be slightly larger. I have a Dell Inspiron 15 laptop, with dimensions of roughly 15" x 10.5" and the pocket is tight on the laptop. After repeated use it has started to tear the sides of the pocket as well wear out the fabric at the top of the backpack.

Overall, it is a solid backpack for light/medium use. It can be used heavily, but it will degrade faster. 3/5 because I enjoyed the style of the backpack and it had enough room for my things throughout the day. The life of the backpack was short compared to backpacks I have had previously, lasting around 10 months. The laptop pocket is a little small for a normal sized laptop as well.

The bag is pretty well made, but after about 3 months in a plastic crate in a storage locker, it's already gotten a few small tears in it. I've tried to fit a 50' camco hose inside and it barely fits. It would be fine for a 25' hose. Zippers are thin, and I've had them stick a few times. It's okay for occassional use but not highly durable, I would not recommend it for for regular use.

Dropping my rating down as this bag simply has to held up. The strap folds up and the metal connectors go side ways. The stitching holding said connectors onto the bag are coming off with moderate use. I got the XLR and it's actually too big for what I needed but worked pretty well. A 15" laptop carried about 3 times and used daily for a couple months for legal pads and a surface tablet worked great until it's began falling apart. A little work with a needle and a replacement strap would make this an awesome bag.

Pretty impressed with this bag, which was a replacement for an old school Nike bag. I use it for my primary gym bag, it's the right size for a gym locker with just a few pockets that include a laptop bag (never use it but nice that it's there. Only downside is the shoulder strap slides open.

Update 3/2017 this bag has not aged well. There's rust on the metal hardware and one buckle has started to fail, causing the shoulder strap to come off.

I've been using this bag for a couple of years now and as others have stated this is a pretty large bag which can be a pro or con. It has a sporty look and now I use it more as an overnight/gym bag than an office bag, but it served me well carrying around books and folders for years. While the storage space was nice, some parts of the bag haven't held up well. Within the first year the water bottle holder made of mesh broke. Also it doesn't have a true handle, rather a small strip attached to the back which you can use if you need to grab the bag quickly. This broke and it gets annoying when I just want to pick up and carry the bag briefly. Lastly this bag doesn't have much padding for laptops, and while it does have a compartment, I would recommend getting an additional sleeve.

Pros:
-Lots of space
-Versatile
-Durable main compartments

Cons:
-Might be too large for some people
-Water bottle holder broke
-Laptop compartment not very padded

Overall it's a good versatile bag, just be sure you're okay with the size.

The insides of the bag is not padded with a high quality materials. Although the bag looks good, I wouldn't use it for long term traveling or hiking. It is an OK bag overall, but I wish it was better quality.

Decided to spend money on a bag that will last me a long time.
This bag seems like it will. It has a good design for the most part. The pocket designed to hold your ipod is an exception. Once in the pocket, it's difficult to pull it out to change songs or adjust volume, and I do that often.
Other than that, it's a quality bag that looks good, and seems like it will last a long time. The price may be a little high, but i guess you get what you pay for.

I have had this bag for about two years and the straps are now threadbare and ready to break.  Also, the bottom corners have split -- it is time to replace the bag. Prior to it wearing out, I really liked the bag.  It served me well and was light weight.  I use it daily for travel and transporting my lap top to and from work.  This time around I think I will spend more money and buy something in more rugged and most likely in leather.

The bag is ok for casual use, but not if you plan to use it daily or carry several items in it. Two straps broke and all that's carried in it is a few folders and a lunch bag. I fixed one strap, but when the second broke it was too much to fix.
Also, it turned out to hurt our son's back not having a balanced pack.

Book bag started to rip within 5 months with light use.

Summary: this is a decent bag for the price, but the buckle and drawstring compartments are difficult to access quickly and they don't feel secure  big con for me. More detailed list below.

Pros:
- Backpack
- Cushioned straps for comfort while hiking
- Space for the camera is easily accessible
- Space for camera has velcro panels that can be rearranged to fit specific needs
- Not an eyesore like other camera bags. I had someone compliment it, and they didn't even realizing it was a camera bag

Cons:
- The buckles make getting things from the other compartments difficult. Don't put anything there if you want to get to it quickly, unless you're OK with keeping it open and risking your stuff falling out. However, even when you buckle the pockets there's a chance your stuff could fall out anyway. It'd be better if these were zippered shut. I was using this bag as my purse too (while traveling), so I would have preferred more security
- The drawstring on the top compartment is an annoying extra step that doesn't really need to be there because it doesn't securely close the opening, and the strings get in the way
- The first day I used it the buckle fell off of one of the top straps. Good thing I found it on the ground before it was lost to me forever!

Backpack lasted a few months then strap tore off. Not meant to carry heavy items long term I guess?

The bag itself is nice, however the first one I bought lasted a little under a year before the metal on the shoulder strap broke.  I bought the same bag again as a replacement and had the same thing happen in less than a month.  The bag is capable of holding a large laptop but the shoulder strap doesn't seem to be able to support the weight.
