This bag I can only recommend! The material is very soft. It was not a very strong odor when unpacking determine as was reported in other bags. Spilled you some water over it, a lotus effect can be established, thus it is easy to wipe. Whether it is tight even after prolonged exposure to water, has not been tested. The seams are meticulously crafted. Ideal for transporting netbooks because the zippers can be instructive facilitated and open to the upper third of the pages, making the removal very easy, but no shoulder strap is included. The colors are more intense than in the picture (strong blacks and reds). Perfect for my purposes!
