For less than 30 bucks at Sierra Trading Post you can't go wrong with this bag. I own at least 5 other Eagle Creek bags, from luggage to backpacks and the quality can't be beat. I bought this to replace a conversion shoulder bag I bought over 12 years ago that's still alive and kicking after one hassle free warranty zipper replacement two years ago. I needed a new look and a new bag with bottle holders on the outside. My only 2 complaints are: 1. The the front flap is connected to the main compartment zipper in ways that sometimes makes it difficult to open and close. 2.When holding from the grab handle it sometimes forces open (separates from velcro) the front flap. A sturdy piece of plastic or metal under this handle across the top would have prevented this but probably would have added to the weight. But these are far from a deal breakers as they are only issues less than 50% of the time. And for an eagle creek bag this light, strong, and cheap I can look past them. The prices and service at Sierra Trading Post are the best. I doubt you'd find it cheaper anywhere else.
