PLEASE KNOW WHAT YOU'RE BUYING
I read the comments about this bag before buying, and bought it. It’s a great bag but I wil say there are some things people need to know before buying this.
1) The title is misleading. It should be labeled as FIRE RETARDANT not FIREPROOF. This bag is designed to be a travel bag to store documents in a secure location or in a safe for a quick grab and go solution. So the fire rating is meant to withstand a short duration of being exposed to open flames. NOT TO BE ABLE TO SIT IN A OPEN FLAME UNSCATHED.
2) The lock on the bag is designed like many travel bags to be a deterrent… this is NOT a high security lock bag. Yes there are ways around the lock, but it’s meant only to deter and give you the time to react if someone is trying to get into the bag while it’s in your view. So no you cannot set it and forget it and think your documents will always be 100% safe.
3) IT SAYS WATER RESISTANT… NOT WATER PROOF. The zippers are permeable allowing some water to enter over time. A quick splash wont damage your documents but submerging this bag will.
4) The case descriptions states, the coating is made of a double layer of silicone. So yes it will feel weird and somewhat have dust and hair stick to it.
5) It’s $40… and it says bag. IT’S GOING TO BE FLIMSY. THIS ISNT A HARDSIDE CASE. IT LITERALLY SAYS THE WORD BAG IN THE DESCRIPTION.
In conclusion, if you understand that this bag is meant for quick grab and go for documents incase of emergencies or travel. And it is not a hardcase briefcase that can withstand bullets to protect it’s contents, I say get it. It’s a great bag to keep on hand to have essential documents at the ready if you need to grab and run or if you travel frequently with documents that need to be organized and kept relatively safe.
