I have opne of these bags. It's given me good service for 5 years or so. Its a soft gig bag so it's not going to give any protection from hard knocks but it is reasonably well padded and certainly better than some of the other bags I looked at. Space is limited but the compartment at the front has room for my metronome/tuner, Dennis Wick straight mute, 2 mouthpeices, and 2 valve oil bottles and slide wax. There is a side container with room for music - not a thick wad but more than just a4 sixe. The straps are robust (though I've had to adjust the clips which had a tendency to come loose - a quick squeeze with a pair of pliers did the trick. And the case is comfortable enough as a back-pack. I wouldn't let my horn out of my sight (or reach) in this (or any other soft bag) but it lets me cycle to rehearsals which means I can do my bit for the environment. Hope that's some use.
