I am very pleased to now about 2 weeks use. It is easy to open it - even when wearing gloves and close by the "snap" anyway. This is particularly beneficial in rainy weather. To complain there is nothing so far. A great little improvement would be if the bag had a small loop so you can hang it easily when not in use anywhere. Another improvement would be, in my view, if there were a more neutral color like black, but you know in advance. 4 stars for a really good bag.
