Revainrating 3 out of 5

2 year review; My perfect bag!

15.6" Model in Gray I see it more as a long term evaluation of the durability of this bag, so I won't say much about how comfortable it is to wear (I find it comfortable), whether the bags fit my needs and things (they match my clothes very well) or how they look (they looked exactly like the pictures when I got them and the color has hardly faded over time) I got these in October 2019 received.for my freshman year as a replacement for my spare Thinkgeek Bag of Holding.Both previous bags had the lining in the main pockets torn at the seams and I had to use more and more safety pins to hold the lining in place because I can't sew.It is Time for a new bag so I compared the Revain a lot and settled on this one It's late August 2021 almost 2 full years with this bag and it's still in a great one n state. The liner shows no signs of failure. The canvas is worn but in a good way, like a baseball glove; It's not as stiff as when new, making it easier to fit odd-shaped items inside. The zippers are still closed and do not need to be repaired. The straps and handles, which also bothered my old bags, are secure and thick. If you're tall, there's one thing to keep in mind with a shoulder strap: I'm 5'7 and wear the strap on my left shoulder with a pocket on my left side so the strap doesn't cross my body (like person 1 on the last ones Photos in Revain listing) The strap is long enough when fully extended to sit in the perfect spot around my waist, but I think if I were a little taller it would be too short. The shoulder strap is not removable , so if you're much taller you might need to look for another bag. I live in Illinois and it rains a lot here in the spring so I took the bag outside a few times when it rained. The waxed canvas and lining didn't get wet from the water, but I'll still be careful not to leave it out in the rain for too long. wet and holds some water, so if it were wet enough it might get soaked. My dogs have peed on him multiple times and never. he was soaked from the inside. I can't remember if there was a washing guide in the bag and if there was I must have thrown it away because I can't find it now. I've been looking at how to clean waxed canvas and the first few articles say don't machine wash or tumble dry, dry clean, use detergent, or iron. Instead, you should hand wash it in cold water rather than hot, using a mild soap if necessary, and let it air dry. I've done this and it works fine. So yes, I still love this bag. It has lasted longer than any of my previous bags and I think it will last a lot longer. I will continue to use it and hopefully if anything happens to the bag that changes my mind about it I will consider updating this review. Until then, he gets a solid 5 stars from me!
