I brought this bag, for short rock climbing trip. I seldom utilize this bag. Mainly I use to store my harness and rock shoe. After I brought this bag within two months, the skin start of come out of the backing at the backrest. I send it back for a replacement. The 'new' one is having the same problem as well. I felt no point replacing another one, they just glue it back. After a year, the bag developed rips in the seams in the external. Even rarely use it. No doubt the design is nice but it's too expensive for such flaws. They claim living in South East Asia, the humidity is too high damaging the glue system. Now they are replacing me with Vaude Aracanda. Yet to collect but I hope the problems will not occur again.
