Sounds like you like it....any other pros/cons to offer?

p.s. Coyote...is the nylon ripped/wrecked? Can you just repair the zipper??
We use it for the local tour rides, often around 50 miles. Bag is great size for that. Easily holds all the tubes, tools, CO2, etc... Plus room for maps, snacks, extra clothes, etc... It has waterproof zippers as well, and while it not complete protected for continued exposure, it will keep stuff dry for at least a day in heavy rain. The rear can hold two flashing lights. Has d-rings for a shoulder strap.

We bought ours direct, and they are made in Canada. While not cheap, it's very well made and a quality bag. Also has a lifetime warranty.

P.S. If you buy direct you can return it no questions asked.
