Very Nice
This is a very nice travel bag. It is not much smaller than the small size. Had I known about this I would have just ordered 2 smalls instead of 1 each. Overall very nice. The plastic liner guards against water and sheds it very well. The bag is not water tight due to the zipper but would take a lot before letting any in. The outer fabric is semi-soft to the touch and keeps the bag from sticking to things. I put my fire starting equipment in it. It fits a fire steel, match case, lighter, and a zip lock full of tinder with room to spare. It may be a bit heavy for backpacking but what you give up in weight you gain in ruggedness. Overall a very nice bag.
