I have the medium laptop version of this bag, and just ordered a XL and have yet to find one fault in it. The waterproof liner is great, especially when I'm transporting my artwork to class. The ballistic nylon is seem to be exactly the same stuff that I have on some paintball and mtb pants and I put those through a lot more punishment than the bag and no rips yet :D I bike a TON and the cross strap works wonders for stabilizing the bag. Plan on getting some a clickelite insert for the XL for my "sneaky" photojournalist bag.Also the canvas messenger bags, and the custom option for them is a blast. Friend had one and you can even draw on it with pencil, erase it and repeat. Lots of fun for teh art types out there
Oh yes and all you people who wonder if these bags are overpriced...you are paying for quality. I still see original 1992 bags in use.
