I would like a bag that can hold a gym mat - but also handle my weights. Maybe eventually 24 lbs worth. Will this hold up? My current bag is ripping

absolutely! of course, with normal and repetitive use, the bag just might get the signs of normal wear and tear, but I'm confident it'll hang tough. if not, the company has a SUPER return policy. the owner will reach out to you personally to make sure you're satisfied. where else can you get a guarantee like that!?! you've got nothing to lose.

I got one of these in early 2012. The shoulder straps or OK, but I wouldn't go crazy with too much weight stuffed in the bag. It's holding up overall. 2 years worth of light duty.

After receiving your question I checked mine out to see if there are any tears and it looks like the day I got it. Honestly it's the best bag I ever owned. I think they have a lifetime guarantee so get with Maxpedition to see if they will repair or replace.

It should work ok. If you don't have a carpet in your gym, I would suggest you go for a thicker mat. I have a treadmill mounted on it. So it works fine for me.

It is not very strong or durable. I would only recommend it for light use. If you use it daily keep the weight in the bag very light.

Honestly, I don't think a thicker mat would roll up tight enough. I love the bag for my yoga mat for after work with a change of clothes and everything fits. If you had a thicker mat, you may not be able to fit too many things in the bigger pocket. Otherwise, I've been using it everyday, and it's a great travel bag too. Hope this helps!

It depends on where the weight bags are packed. Mine came pretty poorly packed and I chose to repacked it keep the weight in the middle and center from top to bottom so mine is fine for kicking. Some people chose to put half of the weight at the bottom, but its preference.Btw, 100lbs in this size bag is very dense to kick. I would suggest a full length MMA bag for better versatility and more appropriate weight distribution over this one.

I would not recommend this as a (daily) diaper bag. You may want to look for something a little bit more structure/sturdiness. With all the items you listed, you will definitely feel the weight and it's contents while wearing it... hopes this helps....

I've kept about 60lbs. worth of gear in it with no problem. There was no strain to the material when doing so. I don't know the max it can handle, but it can take a lot. Hope this helped.

Thin is the operative word here. Without breaking out the micrometer I'd say the bags are about the same thickness as your average gym bag. The cases have minimal padding so be forewarned that they will offer little protection for anything other than scratches and moisture. That being said the overall quality of the bags, to include the integrity of the exterior shell/material and stitching, is good. The interior lining is marginal and prone to rips and tears. I would give an overall grade of B- due to the fact that they offer the anticipated and reasonable level of protection for my purposes which is commensurate with the price paid. Definitely not for hardcore touring or rough handling. Thin is the operative word here. Without breaking out the micrometer I'd say the bags are about the same thickness as your average gym bag.

Hi Cris, I love this bag! Due to how small it is, how well it holds to my bike and the room inside of the bag due to its height, I love my bag! I feel sure it will work great for you.

Ibe been using it for a while now and they hold up just fine. I actually really love this bag. Wayfaring also makes a pretty good bag that comes in a red Hawaiian print of a pink purple floral print that is also pretty good. It's a but bigger though and doesn't hold its shape as well as this one.

I was using this bag to carry on my shoulders my camera bag (which has only one strap): BAGCEPTION !!!It was working perfectly, and my reflex and its accessories are about 2Kg (4.4lbs) I would say... But as said previous comments: the bag itself will not protect anything, and it's definitely not the most reliable one... But it's quite unlikely that it tears out completely in one second (I mean, I think you will see local damages before your computer drops down)

Unsure which bag you are comparing to so difficult to compare for you. I can say, I have had this bag for about 8 months and am pleased with quality and functionality. I would make sure to purchase it filled!!! They pack bag correctly and evenly. I would even pay the extra to have them pack it!!

i've found it to be very durable ... no signs if strain. I do not, however, carry that kind of weight in my bag. Have you considered saddle bags and a mule? ;-)

I've got a Blackburn rack- basic kinda rack, had it for 30 years. The fit is fine, check the other reviews. For a basic bag I like it fine, inexpensive enough that I leave it on the rack all the time- it would bum me out if someone took it though.

I have had my tote since last October and although I don't haul mine around every day, I don't believe you would pack yours as heavy as I usually have mine and I have had no problem with mine at all. It seems to be made very well and if I decide to purchase another one, I will definitely go with another one of these! Plus, go to the company's website and look for information on their return/replace policies - I'd be willing to bet that they have everything covered as all of the crafting items that we cart around with us are quite heavy! I even stack other binders on top of this one and put the straps over the handle so I don't have to carry those either! I don't think you would be disappointed!!
