I'm ecstatic over my new bag!  This was totally an impulse purchase & after I ordered I had intentions of sending it back.  Just try to pry it out of my hands!  Ordered on a Thursday, I chose one day shipping for $3.99 so I wouldn't have to wait the weekend.  When the bag arrived, the box was soaked.  Fortunately, the bag was wrapped in plastic so there was no damage.  Inside the plastic bag, I found the bag in pristine condition with the hardware wrapped in tissue.  Scrunched up paper lined the interior to keep the bag in shape.  Inside the bag I found the sleeper bag and the authenticity tags were inside the zipper pocket.  I have no doubt that the bag is authentic, though I wondered how it could be offered at less than half the retail.  The metallic color is the bomb!  I was wavering between the MAB and the MAB Mini and am happy with the mini.  It's still large enough to fit all my stuff.  The regular MAB must be a suitcase.  Love, love, love this bag!
