Not Really Usable As A Backpack

Pros: The quality seems fine, and it isn’t too heavy. If you plan on using it as a regular equipment bag, it might get tight for unorganized gear carriers, but I found it to fit all my gear well. Cons: Unfortunately, these outweigh the pros. There is zero padding for the back, hence no breathability when carrying it as a backpack. That alone is a major design flaw. I compensated by rearranging some things - for the padding - but that is by far not ideal. No separate skate pockets is the next drawback. Wether you play roller or ice Hockey, carrying your skates in the same area as your other gear is not a good solution on multiple levels, starting with the sanitary level. Conclusion: This bag works as a regular carry bag. If you, like me, prefer a wheel-less backpack, and enjoyed the previous ToolShed - and, man do I love mine - then this one will disappoint. I can not recommend this one, and hope the company goes back to the backpack design board for an addition to the current lineup. One that has some of the great features of the previous ToolShed model.
