Yes! 2 of mine and 1 of my roommates

After barely 6 months. They came apart at the seams where zippers are and in 4 random spots(similar spots on my roommates)

that's what i'd be worried about, especially if i were dishing out $140. were they the newer bags? herzog was telling me they've started using a new manufacturer for the newer bags, and it looks like that review video is one of the newer bags.

I own the two Origin backpacks. The first one (The mundial) kinda fell apart on me but I loved it up until then, and their new one I just recently bought and it is pretty sweet. They have options of buying a smaller pack that attaches to it and overall its a nice bag. Only thing I dont like, it's a bit big for my preference. All made in the USA, check it out. www.originbjj.com

I've heard about older bags being made with cotton stitching which is why they were tearing. They were supposed to be using hemp thread. Last guy told me that he contacted Chris about it and he had it repaired free. Not sure if that offer still stands, but Chris does seem to stand behind his product. As for me, I have a newer model with the hemp stitching and I've had zero issues. And I have not been gentle.

Nice. Yeah, the bag looks huge, which would be awesome for traveling, as well as carrying my jits and muay Thai gear.
