READ IF YOU'RE SERIOUS ABOUT BUYING
Overall, a very good back to be honest. I'm only writing the negatives as a nitpicky review, but its a great daily bag.
Negatives:
Given the amount of pockets that this bag offers, it seems amazing right? Wrong. If you fill up all the pockets to their capacity (shoe comparment, main compartment with towels, change of clothes, paddles in each side pocket, snacks, balls, etc) you have some issues; Overgrips on your paddles make it such that you can only comfortably fit 2 paddles without either thinking the bag will explode or you will damage your paddles because of how tightly packed they are (forget if you have fresh overgrips, those will ruin eachother with how tight they are). If you add shoes in the compartment, forget adding a 64oz yeti or anything more in the main comparment, you arent getting any meaningful space in there.
The sort of 'cooler' they have in there is a complete afterthought. Its advertised as a ball holder in the pictures which goes to show how its actually used. Why would I want there to be balls in there one day and then snacks the other with all the dirt and dust? There needs to be legitimate compartments for these things. I now just use this compartment for my Pilla glasses case and thats all it serves which sucks because I need to bring a separate cooler now for refridgerated stuff. Now that leads to this question, where do i put my phone, wallet, and keys? I put them in the side pocket... alongside all of the snacks that I can't fit in the bags 'cooler'. So now I got to sift through a bunch of snacks and random goods to find either my phone, wallet, or keys. You think I'm gonna put it inside of that mesh side pocket? Absolutely not as the mesh is not secure enough for me to want to put my stuff in there and have it fall out unnoticed.
Also, IF you truly fill this bag up, it feels like the straps are gonna rip off and its not meant to support being full of weight. After 3 months of ownership, the both top and bottom strap contact points are beginning to fray and tear at the sewn seams, so I'd give this another 4-5 months of use before it taps out and is unusable.
For everday light use, its great. No complaints and maybe a bit overkill.
For heavy play and long tournament days, it doesn't do a well enough job on its own and you'd need a cooler and other accessories to fulfill your athetic needs.
PS: The bottom pocket is a complete gimmick, whats the point? When its against a fence its on the other side not accessible, when its on the ground, its not accessible. Whatever I put it in I obviously do not need and if I did need it, probably forgot that it existed there. Also bleeds into the main comparment so if I filled it up, again, not practical at all.
