offsite bag   04-14-08   

It is a great bag however it cannot hold the ~20-25lbs I pack it with. very upsetting. It started the first few months perfectly fine. I loved the amount of space and pockets and side mesh pockets fitting a wide mouth nalgene bottle. However I was walking across my college campus one day with only my 14in hp pavillion laptop, two folders, and a textbook in my bag and shoulder strap broke from the front side plastic swivel axis. Being the Macguever that I am, I tied it around the compression clip and continued to use it. After this I called TNF and they sent me a new swivel axis plastic clip and I took it to a shoemarker and they replaced it. only 2 days later the back(right-side) one broke apart too. I again did a quick fix knot. But of course only a day after that seam of the compression strap clip attached to the black fabric it is attached to ripped right out. Again I love it for the space it gives me as I'm certainly not a minimalist. but I cannot in good faith recommend this to other people. unless they are prepared to carry no more than a light laptop and small book. as it seems this doesn't want to stay in one piece with anything more than 25lbs in the bag.
