Boring for most of you, but I thought an update was required now that I actually have my hands on my first order of bags. I was a lot happier with my bag than I expected I would be, and my expectations were high enough to bring across thirty of them. I'm in the process of taking photographs, which will be uploaded to the blog i'm selling them from when i've had chance to photographs them all- www.vot-zdyes.blogspot.com - but the bags are really well made and I had a chance to test out their water-resistance yesterday during the downpour, as well as their volume and comfortability. I managed to make it from West to East London carrying
eight hefty hardback books on the history of the Gulag without any complaints nor any problems with leakage (and Vag leakage is always an indication of bigger problems).
I'll be writing a full review when I've had chance to wear my bag a bit more and test it with a few heavier loads, which will go up on the blog with the photos. I will point out that I was stung by Customs so prices have had to be put up by £5 a bag, but I think that I'll personally deliver in London to keep postage down (well, I say London, let's say Zone 2). The numbers on the blog are up to date assuming the reserved items are paid for, so if you're interested drop me an email at aaspden@hotmail.com and we can go from there. I won't say any more on the issue, I'll save the blog for that, I just wanted a final post in here to conclude the thread for anyone googling (you guys are right up there in the top results). Thanks for reading, and hopefully I'll get to see some Vagx bags around London.
