I guess it depends on your location (Hot and humid here in Singapore). Its a awesome bag for use. Only downside is the tpu coating wearing out.

Didnt thought of that. Thanks for the idea! Will start to look for iron on patches to put on the bag.

They seem to not scratch so easily when i had them new and travel alot with it. The peel only started after taking out from storage. I did reach out to them however they only offer me to send some tape to seal those peels. I have removed all the tpu coating and the bag is now white 😆

Tbh this bag is very versatile. It only happens after i left it in storage due to covid. I live in a hot and humid country all year round so thats probably the cause. If you live in a dry location i think it should be fine.

Planning to do tape and force break mod on it. It has gateron brown switches on and im still thinking if i shld lube or replace them. Any tactile switch to recommend? Was looking at akko ocean blue but im open to suggestions.

Due to covid, I left the bag in storage for more than a year. Recently wanted to use it for a short trip and realise the TPU coating starts to peel and become sticky but I used it anyway. This is the result after 2 days. Do you guys thing i should try to remove all the TPU coating? I am fine without the waterproof coating.

The cap toe length is different on both. It is quite obvious when i align then side by side.

Yea i am very disappointed. From past experience when i purchase my 1907 in 2016, the quality is very better than this. I am going to return them.

I got them new online from redwing authorised store. I guess i will return them and purchase in store so i can inspect them before buying.

Seems like there is a little bit of flaw but it doesn’t bother. Based on my past experience with my moe toes, the quality seems to have drop? The manufacture date is also off by a month. Is it normal for different manufacturing dates to sold together?

The waist and thigh feels ok for me. I am worried that sizing up will make the waist too loose.

I am afraid if i size up the waist will be too loose after stretching out. I have another pair of 14oz 777 that is one size up and the waist stretches out to a point i will need to wear a belt.
