My daughter loves this bag. We just got it, so I can't speak to its durability but it seems well-made. It is on the small side (which is what my daughter wanted) and it does take some work to get all her gear in there. But she hates the giant catcher bags. If you're looking for a Bownet alternative, this is not it. But if you want a smaller bag that can fit everything if you pack it carefully, this is a great choice.
