I have no issue spending more if it means getting a better quality item, but after researching several bags and reading the reviews it seems like they all have a lot of the same issues, tears, zipper issues, straps breaking, etc. So I took a shot at the cheaper option and I am glad I did.

I have had no issues so far. The bag is a good size. Slightly larger than the old gym duffle I used to carry around without being too bulky. I enjoy that it has pockets so I can keep my headphones separate from my damp towels and find small items like my keys and much easier.

The zippers on the bag are all in good working order, and the seams of the bag seem strong so far. I know some people reported these wet being sent out with mold and other issues, but mine was clean upon arrival.

I have only been using this bag for a little over a week now, but it tends to go with me on a daily basis so we will see how it holds up.
