I had an older model and Chris took action to fix the bag issue. I now have a newer model, (not the newest one) and I have had no tears, no rips, and I even put Otterwax on the outside to waterproof it.Quote:

* This unique gym duffel bag can be easily transformed into a backpack
* Made from heavy duty polyester, interior is lined with nylon
* Easily accessible main compartment is large enough to fit all your gear and features a two-way heavy duty zipper and a zipped mesh pocket for keys, phones and mouth pieces
* Two nylon webbing hand straps can be attached together into a grab handle, padded shoulder strap is detachable
* Converts quickly into a backpack: has 2 concealable adjustable backpack straps that can be hidden in a zipped back pocket when not used
* Padded bottom panel adds structure and provides comfort when you wear the bag as a backpack

I use the Hayabusa duffle bag that converts to a back pack.
It's versatile and has extra pockets/compartments.

I use a 5.11 Rush 72 backpack. From what I saw when doing the same kind of research, it's about the same size as the Datsusara Battlepack Pro. It's more than big enough for all the stuff I need to go train (I keep my gi and nogi gear in there simultaneously), and I've used it as carry on luggage on airlines. There are a bunch of guys at our gym that use 5.11 bags, and they've all spoken well of their bags. I haven't had any issues with mine, and I've had it a little under a year.
Chris's (Datsusara) customer service is the best you can find. I had a tear in one of my old ones and replaced it free of charge, no question including postage to Australia, so have no doubts that if for some weird reason you have an issue he will sort it out quickly and do whatever is required to satisfy your issue.Quote:

FYI, I have no link to Chris at all just love his products and when it's so rare to get exceptional customer service these days when you do get it I think you should support that company in any way you can.
thanks for all the info, guys.
I fully support minimalism and cost-efficiency; you can buy ~50 of these for the price of one of those fancy Datsusara guys.Quote:
