Previous Feedback
Comments: Waterproof lining de-laminates from outer-shell where the skate pocket is stitched. Once that happens, the outer material quickly deteriorates and falls apart. Not well designed, doesn't hold up! Lasted little over half a year of gentle use. The zippers, straps, and corners seams (places you expect a bag to fail) show little visible wear and tear. Zero out of Five...I will never buy another Easton bag!

Comments: I ordered this bag last April, my second bag since my first was pretty cheap, with the hope I would get a few seasons out of it. Unfortunately, the bag tore last month at the seam on the top flap (along the small storage compartment) and unraveled very quickly opening the entire top of the bag. It's a bummer, and while I like the size, straps, and pockets, I think the durability is terrible. I won't buy any more Easton bags...I've bought two from you in the past year, and both shredded with very minor use (I play twice a week).

Comments: Big fan of Easton products, unfortunately for me I've had this bag for about 9months and that straps are starting to rip off the bag and I only carry my essentials in this bag, it's as heavy as it needs to be. Like I said I'm a big fan of all Easton products, I just wish this bag was going to last me at least a year or two for the price I paid... My old KOHO lasted me over 4 years and was a lot more basic.

Comments: Nice bag for the price. Will need to see how durable it is, but so far it is nice. My only complaint is about the handles. They are very long and cannot be adjusted, so carrying the bag is very awkward without using the shoulder strap.
