I got this in the colour sage to replace my grubby canvas one that was falling to pieces, and am very impressed with the quality of the fabric. It's more water-resistant than waterproof though, which isn't too big a deal. Love that there's plenty of space inside, though if I could change a few things, it'd be the zipper (which came off after a few tugs and I had to squeeze the zipper catch shut with pliers to prevent it from happening again), and the inner pocket placement. The two large pockets are very useful for keeping water bottles and umbrellas from rattling around, but it also keeps other stuff from sitting flat in the bag and keeping it neat and comfortable to carry. Otherwise, it's a lovely bag!
