Thats the simplest thing to say. I ordered a small size and was surprised at how big it was but then...how little it holds. It looks much bigger than I thought it was going to be so when I started stuffing it, I got a little disappointed it wouldn't hold as much as I thought once I received it. Ha! Anyways, I read someone elses review before I purchased and I remember he/she said it wasn't as ugly as they expected it to be and I felt the same way. So after initial unboxing I decided I really liked the bag, couldn't wait to start stuffing it, then got a little disappointed because it wouldn't hold as much as I thought it was going to. Once I reminded myself it was the SMALL, I repacked it used it a couple times (although it hasn't been wet) and decided I like the bag itself, I think its a fair quality for the price and would recommend. I like it well enough I intend to order another, in the next size bigger.
