hello!  if you are looking for a solid, big, functional gym bag, the price is right on this one...it replaced a backpack for the gym, and it fits everything - water, basketball, two pairs of shoes, towel, changes of clothes, jump rope, etc.. . i love it...  yes, the clips on the shoulder strap are plastic...but they are strong enough for now...but they should be metal..for that i would give this 4.5 stars if i could..great bag.
