Quite simply, this is a great bag.  Especially for the price Amazon was offering it.  It's every bit as durable and sturdy as any canvas bag out there.  The faux leather touches are really great--don't look fake at all.  Yes, the canvas color was darker that the image on Amazon.  Mine is more of a medium dark khaki, not so much drab green as others call it.  But it's very attractive nonetheless, and I was pleasantly surprised that the color was actually better looking than the image online.  No odd smells in my bag at all, by the way.  Plenty of zippered pockets, stashes and other organizing features.  And it has a nicely padded shoulder strap that doesn't appear in the online photo.  Truly a wonderful bag.  Here I was about to pay $149 for a similar bag of identical size in The Territory Ahead catalog!  Thank goodness I found this one instead.  In fact, I may just buy two (one for a backup in case something happens to this bag).  Excellent purchase.  (It also arrived two days ahead of schedule.)

PROS:
--Sturdy construction
--Light but durable
--Lots of convenient pockets

CONS:
--Front flap a bit awkward to open-I don't care for the clips.  But it works
