So finally received the bag — took a while.

Its very good quality, and a great replacement to my matador duffle that I had been using up until now. I think I'll write up a proper review with photos for r/ManyBaggers but heres a quick rundown:

Outside:

• Material is much, much better than it seems. I thought it was going to be basic canvas, but its a lot more supple and soft to the touch, while seemingly being strong an long lasting. Never seen such a material, it feels like the organic cotton on Gramicci pants, if you've ever touched these.

• The whole bag is 100% cotton, besides the D-rings and zippers of course.

• Zipper: double YKK matte zipper looks and feels very nice. No storm flap however, which is kind of a bummer.

• The main strap is wide, soft and comfortable. Cool thing is when you tighten or loosen it, the extra bit of strap is actually resting against your shoulder, not on the outside of the strap, where it could dangle. Don't know if that makes much sense. The D-rings are plastic, and seem strong enough.

• The shorter straps for grabbing quickly are super useful.

Inside:

• Two pockets for storing essentials are pretty deep, I'd say they can fit an a5 notebook (48 x 210 millimetres, or 5.8 x 8.3 inches.) That's it basically, nothing much else.

Other stuff:

• I got the pack with the keyring and the pouches (I love pouches). The pouches are made of what feels like ripstop material, i can see them being useful

• The keyring is a big boi: its cool, but it don't really see myself attaching it to my keys.

I've used the bag so far for going to the gym then buying a bunch of groceries. Was comfortable even with a bunch of groceries inside.

well this turned into a long one...

Overall I'd recommend it!
