These are good bags for the price - they have no additional pockets or bulky padding which is ideal for me as I like to save on space in my car! If treated well the zips last and don't "stick" and the bags last for a long couple of years of regular gigging before a few nicks and small holes appear as the lugs hardware starts peeking through. They are also lightweight - lightest available as far as I can see - which is a big plus for me. I have purchased various sizes for my needs.
