It's a generic no-name bag from Walgreen's, $15 closeout after summer. Only info I can find is by Googling the tag number.

So far I've stuffed it full of groceries weighing around 30 lbs, including sacks of potatoes, carrots, etc., until the zipper was hard to close, and the fabric, seams and zipper are still good. But it's only a few months old, and I've used it half a dozens times for less than two months, always stored inside. The main difference I've noticed over the years with camera gear bags is how well the ballistic nylon or woven fabric holds up over time. No way to predict that based on price. I've had expensive bags fall apart prematurely and cheaper bags held up well; but usually you get what you pay for.
