I got this bag back in December. It is very spacious, nice rigid bottom, pods straps are useful, side hadles are awesome, and has enough pockets for me. I carry a lot of gear with me to the field usually: 3-4 guns, 2-3 tanks, mask, pants a few loaders, paint, shirts and other clothing, cleats/shoes, etc. I may have been over-loading it, but after a month of carrying it with the shoulder strap the stitching where the strap is connected started ripping. A few months later the strap has completely ripped off. I don't blame the bag, it's decent, just don't put too much weight into it.
All in all: If you're just carrying some stuff to the field for rec ball it's fine. If you have a lot of gear, save yourself the trouble and buy a gearbag with wheels.

I recently purchased 3 gear bags as a test. This bag, the Valken 24", and the Valken 34".
The Valken gear is simply a duffel bag, a nice high quality bag at a good price but simply that.
The Tippmann bag is a paintball bag it has loops for pods, straps for tanks, barrels, hopper, marker. Solid flat bottom and an innovative set of beams around the perimeter to keep the mouth of the bag open no matter what is or isn't inside. I have since returned the two Valken bags and gotten two more Tippmann bags.
My one gripe is that i'm not 100% on each of the strap downs function (is the one off to the side for the tank or the marker) so would love a little diagram that comes with it as a paper insert. Oh and the other review mentions a lack of padding, i agree the bottom could be reinforced a bit more to keep your marker safer while it's strapped to the bottom.
