Bought this to replace a basic £25 bag on which the zips had expired and the straps were breaking. After some research this model had the deepest padding. The strap arrangement (with shoulder protectors) make it a breeze to carry. There's plenty of storage space (although if you're carring all your leads the front pouch could have more 'give' in the front face, but there's lots of 'secret'storage for smaller items - tuners, batteries etc). Well reinforced all round, particularly the base, which has metal feet to stop all that scuffing, and strong zips. Definitely recommended, but suggest a separate bag for leads.
