   The bag’s various dimensions are listed at the end of the review.Tempted to give 5 stars out of the box—4 for now until I know how well it holds up. Slightly tempted to take off another star for potential backpack strap issue (see below).I need a bag for a fairly heavy tall cylindrical drum and a few small hand percussion instruments. I decided on this one after viewing a lot of bags here. What sold me: length, material, exterior pockets, and several carry methods.¶ FIRST IMPRESSIONSConsidering the bag’s features, the price strikes me as excellent.The fabric appears very tough. Stitching seems good but there are occasional signs of sloppiness. See photo.The waterproof underside is an excellent feature. Some stitching around the waterproofing material looks a bit flimsy—but that’s just a first impression.There were lots of wrinkles after it was unfolded for the first time. These relax over time.¶ LENGTH FOR INTENDED PURPOSE?I lucked out—the instrument only just fits. At each end the bag has narrow cinch straps (with fastex-style clips) used to pull in the ends a bit. The clips can be undone to let the bag expand all the way. That made the difference. Whew.¶ INTERIOR PADDINGThere isn’t any, except for the removable inserts (see below).¶ WEATHERPROOFINGThe fabric appears water-resistant, not waterproof. But—great feature—the underside is waterproof. That material spans the length and comes up the sides a bit (see photo). It’s the side that faces outward when you carry the bag backpack-style.The waterproof material also helps keep the bag from sliding around too easily when it’s lying flat.¶ INTERIOR PANELSAnother great feature, enabling the bag to stay extended when it’s lying flat. The panels are thin but stiff and feel slightly padded. They sit directly over the part of the bag containing the outside waterproofing. There are two removable panels, joined end to end with strong hook-and-loop strips to make a single panel.¶ ZIPPERSThe two used for the main closure look ok. The ones used for the side pockets seem a bit less sturdy. All have “pulls” made with what looks like 3/16″ paracord.¶ POCKETSThis bag has very handy pockets, unlike a regular duffel bag.INTERIOR POCKETS: At each end on the inside there’s a 9″ deep pocket spanning almost the bag’s full width. These pockets don’t have pull-over flaps or zippers, but they can be partly secured at top/center with a short hook-and-loop strip.EXTERIOR POCKETS (for dimensions see below): For my money this is where the bag really shines. Along one side there’s a long dual-zipper pocket. Inside it there’s another (single zipper) mesh pocket, roughly 7″W by 5″H.On the opposite side, the bag has two single-zipper pockets, each about half the length of the bag. Each has a large felt patch that could be used with velcro. One of the felt patches contains 30 tight loops that could accommodate a ¾″ or 1″ strap. (Some kind of attachment system?)The photo of the bag lying flat shows the two felt patches.¶ STRAPSThis manufacturer gets first prize for providing _four_ carrying methods.TWO-PERSON CARRY: A robust hand strap at each end of the bag.CENTRAL HAND STRAP for horizontal carry: Typical design—two straps on either side of the central opening can be joined within a small sleeve (hook-and-loop closure) to make a single hand strap. When closed, the sleeve becomes the handle. Feels very sturdy.OVER THE SHOULDER/sling strap: the sling strap attaches to metal lugs that are also used to attach the backpack straps. When you carry it this way, the bag’s main closure faces upward.The strap’s shoulder pad looks pretty tough but is only 9″ long and isn’t well padded. I’ll use a third-party pad that’s longer and more comfortable.BACKPACK: pretty typical setup with 16″ long shoulder pads having the same minimal bulk as the over-shoulder strap. The sternum strap is a nice touch.This probably isn’t an issue if you aren’t carrying anything too heavy—but I will be: I’m concerned about backpack carry with the bag as shipped.They should have used the same metal clips that are used for the sling strap. The bag’s weight during backpack carry will be on not very tough-looking plastic buckles that pull tight against adjacent metal rings (see photo). If the plastic parts become deformed or cracked I worry that they could pull out.I’ll probably replace these straps with a third-party product having strong metal clips. (Thus my temptation to remove another star.)¶ HOW IT FEELS WHEN USED AS A BACKPACKNo problems there except for the minimal padding in the shoulder pads.¶ ADVERTISED DIMENSIONS ARE ACCURATE?Yes. I wouldn’t mind if the bag were a couple of inches longer, but I’m not complaining. It works for the intended purpose.Straight out of the box and completely folded up: 14½-15″square.Length when lying flat and empty: 31″.Width when lying flat and empty: somewhere around 13″. At the narrowest part, at the very ends: about 12″.Height: about 14″.How far can you open it across the width? At the very widest (in the center) when the main flap is open and pulled fully outward: about 21–22″.Length of the main opening itself with the bag lying flat and the cinch straps unclipped: 29″.Full-length side pocket with double zipper: about 21½″ long and 8″ high. It can be pulled outward about 6″ at the center/top. Very roomy. It will be perfect for carrying various small and percussion instruments.Each of the smaller pockets on the opposite side: about 12″ wide by 8″ high. Can be pulled outward about 6″ at the center/top. Also very roomy.Overall: thumbs up.

   Great product. Strong stitching and I love the bottom of. Plenty of room. You can carry or use it like a back if to heavy. A lot more room than the photos indicate.
