It's good. The thing is sturdy as all get-go. I like that it's not frou-frou in any way - no trim covering up the stitching. Very utilitarian. There are some things that I would definitely change if I was custom ordering it (ie, making the waist strap long enough to actually go around my waist when the bag is full, putting the front latches on the flap rather than the bottom of the bag, adding something to which a light could be stuck...), but given that I got it for so ridiculously cheap, I can't really complain.
I love the tool/pump/whatever pocket on the inside of the flap, although it seems like kind of an oversight that the freight patch is sewn through the flap pocket, stitching it closed about 1/3 of the length of the pocket on one side.
I love the way the strap is stitched on it - it sits better than any other bag I've tried on and is what sold me on it.
I got the medium, and it's massive. It dwarfs my large timbuk2 and was noticably larger than evanyc's Reload citizen.
