Now I couldn't see this from the photo so its a bit my own fault.
You could call it a design feature but I call it a design fault. A huge one.
The mesh vent on the front means the bag is NEVER completely closed. So people can see inside and worse rain will get in. Now with all the zips and cooling pockets why nobody thought of putting a thin piece of material with zip behind these I don't know - so you could open when necessary.
Call me old fashioned but I want a bag that keeps the things inside protected. I live in Wales so if a walk through a car park to a tournament my gi will be soaked by the time I get in.
I do like everything else about the bag, so will be stitching in some material to keep out the elements.
Silly more likely soggy flaw.
Oh and why am I not returning it?...because the cost to return is more than getting the problem fixed by a seamstress. Cest la vie
