I got this as a bag I can throw necessities in and toss in my car. It has done a great job. I am pretty rough on my bags, and for the last several weeks, this one has held up nicely. Pretty stiff right out of the box, but with some wear, its just fine. My only complaint, and its a small one, is the buckle. I don't completely close it because its kind of a pain. But that doesnt affect the bags use at all. I still put it through the buckle and it holds just fine. Overall good bag.
