AOTIAN Backpack Canvas Crossbody Backpack - Liters Capacity - Ideal for All Needs Review

Hipster says the description so thought I'd return this bag as it doesn't perform as promised (too many seemingly durable items), photogenic but flimsy in stress). I couldn't believe how well made this bag was when it arrived. The treated canvas is waterproof and well stitched. The leather straps are actually real leather and don't go anywhere thanks to the metal hardware. This bag has gotten me through Irish downpours and has never leaked. It also offers security when carried over the…

This bag looks neat, the 'expandable' part doesn't add much volume but it helped me pack my raincoat with all my other camping gear Hiking accommodate daylight hours. Unfortunately, waxed canvas is not exactly waterproof. I got caught in the rain, walked under it for about an hour, and the water seeped through the seams in the bag and ruined the book I was carrying. The waxed canvas also repels only light rain and splashes. After some time it reaches its saturation point and becomes completely…

THIS BAG IS EXCELLENT! I have a ten month old baby so I had to carry a huge diaper bag with me everywhere for almost ten months. I missed the simplicity of a small bag and was looking for something more durable than a wallet as I do a lot of things. I've been using this bag for two months now as we ditch the diaper bag. This bag has ample space for my daily essentials: a large wallet, two packs of adrenaline auto-injectors, a small jar of all-purpose balm, a tube of lip balm, a glasses case, a…

**Update** In addition to my initial review below, I would like to point out that I am very happy with the performance of this bag. So far it's survived four flights as a carry-on, rain showers when my gear was dry, and 7 theme parks in Orlando. It holds a decent amount of stuff and isn't comfortable to wear. What worries me, Anne, is the leather stitching at the bottom where the strap attaches. It shows some stretching and tearing. Hopefully it survives the next trip. The bag looks good and…

The tarpaulin is very heavy and strong. In fact, the problem is that it's too strong. The bag feels bulky and rigid. On my first shot the bag is completely empty but still upright due to the stiffness of the canvas. The bag is very small but when carried it seems much larger. Even if you only carry a few small things with you, you will certainly not forget to carry them. On the other hand, it makes a very durable impression. The tarpaulin is covered with a waxed waterproofing coating: it will…

I want to start by saying I want to love this bag! It's the perfect size for everyday use, love the look and it's comfortable to wear all day. BUT lightning is the worst! I already had two identical bags and the zippers on both broke. I received the first bag and used it daily for about six months before the zipper started opening and/or not closing when the zipper was closed. If I had been very careful and slowly closed the zipper, it sometimes stayed closed, but this was unreliable. Since I…

I loved it as soon as I opened it! I will update this review if anything changes. MATERIAL: The fabric is REAL canvas and you can smell the leather as soon as you open it. The inner lining looks more like polyester than cotton, but I'm no expert. All metal brackets seem strong enough but I haven't tested them yet. WATER RESISTANCE: This is definitely waterproof, not waterproof. The liquid will drip onto the surface and run off when shaken, but if left with water for 30 seconds, it will begin to
