are the sides of this bag firm and stand straight?

As Betty noted here the bag stands reasonably straight but it isn't a stiff box.

The sides are firm but not rigid. This bag is great and can fit a pair of sneakers comfortably. Would be a nice addition with paniers too if one is doing overnight biking and camping. In very pleased with it. The only change I'd make is an attachment on the rear for a tail light to a fix.there is a small attachment now but not very good for holding the light in my opinion.

Yes, except for the expansion portion. Of course if it is expanded something in it will be holding up the expanded portion. Great,quality item!

This is almost like solid and I have not had any snag problems at all. The two round bags are very heavy duty. I believe you would like the quality of all pieces.

The bag does not have additional rigid insertsThe partitions of the bag are heavy duty and it holds shape well, not thin at all

Mine also stand alone somewhat but they are a bit floppy. They are by no means ridged. Not knowing what you want to use them for let me suggest the Ikea Dimpa Set of 4 Multi-use Bags/Free Standing Boxes with Handles, Recycling Bag, Storage Bag. 4 different sizes. Hope this helps!

The sides are straight up and down. They are crimped but in no way are they "slanted."

Yes. It is dual sided and has zippers inside and out as well. I did learn a trick with this bag. When you put it back in the compression sack, don't roll it. Literally start with a corner and just shove it in while rotating the sack. Worked like a charm.

I have had many items in this bag and have stood it upright and it hasn't fallen over.. But maybe I had the right amount of items in that just didn't cause it to tip over. Just remember that you can always lean it against something of it comes down to you being worried about it needing to be stabilized.

i've noticed it has a little lean forward to it but still stands up. You can't lay the bag completely flat with everything unzipped but the zippers do go all the way to the bottom of the bag so you have a lot of room to grab your tools with out a problem.

The bag does stand upright when loaded with tools even when the side pockets are open. Mine is loaded with about 25kg worth of tools. this bag is really good quality with a solid hard base.

Yes, laying on it's side. This bag will hold a full six pack of sodas or water bottles. The bag is really quite large and roomy.

Yes, the tool bag does remain upright. It may lean if the tool distribution is heavier on one side than the other.

No the bag does not stand on its own; however it does support heavy items. I am very happy with the quality of the ones I purchased.

The back is fairly straight - just a very slight curve side to side. Hope this helps

Susan, you are right - but I think the intended side to use the bag is from the left. It work fine for me during my 3 week long trip to Europe.

I suppose it depends on how you fill it. Mine typically falls forward, even though I have heavier things like books in the main compartment. I've had mine for about a year and a half and the leather is still as firm (in a good way) as it was when I first got it. I use it several times a week, and it still looks as good as new.
