The bag is well made, it isn't flimsy, I will say if your looking for pockets I'd go with another bag the middle is mostly a void space with few pockets to keep things separated, but I'm fine with that, I carry around multiple bags so I can downsize at anytime if I need to, this one mostly stays in the car while I take a small cross body in store but I have everything I need if I end up needing it, there is a back pocket that's where I keep my knee brace incase i ever need it.
