Once i have all my art materials inside the bag it’s quite difficult to hold onto. The valcro at the front of the bag holds the whole thing together and because the materials are heavy, the valcro easily becomes seperate from the front cover. The bag itself is good quality but if the front cover was a zip for example this would definately be a 5 star review.
This bag is great value for money.
Fits A3 pads perfectly and has plenty of room to carry multiple pads, canvas and sketchbooks.
The added 2 pencil cases in their own pockets are a great addition plus the larger pocket for paint brushes.
The long shoulder strap handle is adjustable and sturdy with the added bonus of converting into backpack straps.
Negative point is the closure. It is velcro and when picked up by the top carry handle it pulls on the velcro and causes it to open, i would also not trust the velcro to hold if worn as backpack.
Seen this bag in hobby craft for 35 and got it for way cheaper on amazon. The quality is exactly the same. Waterproof large space for all my equipment. I’ve had multiple carry cases that didn’t hold all my things. But this one is the best one I’ve had yet. Would buy again!
Loads of pockets, plenty of storage for all my art stuff. Only niggle is that the Velcro doesn’t stick well when lifting by the handle once full, but using the long strap should fix that.
The bag itself is fairly sturdy, and holds everything I need it to, unlike other similar A3 folders. My three main problems with this product are: 1) When holding the folder by the handle, it causes the Velcro to become unattached. 2) The loops that the clips go onto move a lot, meaning that the weight of the contents of the bag can be uneven. 3) When using the folder as a backpack, the strap can easily slide through – which happens most when you’re removing the bag from your back; and the bag strap itsel is too short to be used as sufficient handles for that of a backpack.
However due to it being able to carry everything I need it to, as well as being practical and comfortable most of the time, I can put up with some of the product’s faults.
Brought this as a present for my niece who’s at college studying Art & Design and Art History so has to carry two large A3 sketch books most days. This bag is comfortable to carry and plenty wide enough to take both books and various pencils and art equipment.
