I have purchased three of these bags now and can't recommend it enough. I purchased my original bag after spending days comparing similar items. I'm a woman who very rarely carried a purse but found myself in need of something small but still roomy enough for the essentials (phone, binoculars, drink, sunglasses, reading glasses etc) that I could sling over my back while riding my bike. It also had to be a durable material that would stand up to rain, sun and sand. This bag turned out to be perfect for that use but I liked it so much I ended up using it as my daily goes-everywhere bag. In other words, as a purse. ;)
This bag has just the right amount of various sized pockets and compartments to keep your essentials organized without being overwhelming to where you can't find anything. What makes it really special is that there are all kinds of ways to attach things to the outside of the bag, too, from my sunglasses case to an umbrella to car keys. With the adjustable strap you can carry it over your back or across your chest, but it also has a regular carrying handle which makes it convenient to hang on a hook or over a door knob. A visiting family member liked my bag so much I ended up ordering one for him to take home and he found a way to wear it low, like a thigh bag.
So I've been using my bag every day, putting much wear and tear on it, tossing it around, hanging it from stuff, leaving it out in the sun, getting it wet ... and it finally started failing. The inner pocket linings started ripping out but I kept using it. Then the zipper on the small front pocket got stuck. I ignored it. But then one of the main zippers failed - the zipper teeth were all out of whack. OK, so time to order a replacement. So I went in to my order history and was absolutely flabbergasted to find I'd been using that original bag for almost FOUR YEARS! It took that long to develop issues that necessitated replacing it with a new bag. And it still looks good. Besides the inner pockets finally ripping and the zippers, which you can't tell just by looking at it, there is nothing else wrong with this bag, nothing torn on it, no holes, nothing coming undone. It's just amazing that a $14.99 bag stood up to time like this.
I ordered the new bag about three weeks ago (only a dollar price increase after almost four years) and it's slightly different from the original bag. The color is more green whereas the original bag was more a yellow-green, and the material is a lot stiffer which I'm not a fan of but I'll get used to it. Also it has a different style carabiner clip on the main strap. I've included pics showing the old bag vs the new one, so you can see how well the original bag from four years ago held up to constant wear & tear.
This is a fantastic, highly versatile bag that stands the test of time and it's rare to find something that lasts these days, never mind something at such an economical price. Very impressive. Highly recommend this.
