I've had this for around 10 years. It's super comfortable because of the longer handles - the bag can be carried over your shoulder easily and comfortably. It's nylon so it's as tough as old boots and it wipes clean with a damp sponge. Mine is used often, it used to be my eveyday bag, but it shows almost no wear at all. I'm not gentle with my bags either - they get thrown around and dumped on floors, and slide around on the floor of my car occasionally. It's deceptively roomy inside and I carry A LOT!!! It has a deep zipped inside pocket on one side, but nothing on the other so sometimes I would lose my cell phone in amongst other stuff. But I think that's the only disadvantage. And really, my cell is small enough to carry in my pocket if I really don't want to lose it. Hope this helps.
