Good enough. Side pockets are nice. Will last in a rugged environment. You may disagree with the design.
Great for the value. I originally picked it for the colors, since all my other parachute bags are black. Construction and materials seem high quality and very durable. The design could be a little better. I personally prefer shallower and smaller parachute pockets since my material is much smaller. The side pockets are nice, but I wish more different sizes were included, both smaller and larger. If you need a general purpose parachute bag, this is a good bet.

GREAT VALUE! Hours of entertainment and co-op strategy for experienced and inexperienced board gamers! GET IT!!!
Know the game Codenames (by Vlaada Chvatil)? Do you ever say, "Codenames is a great game to get someone into the world of indie board games". It's simple, lots of fun, but offers deep strategy from simple rules, which even keeps veterans playing for years and years.
I offer The Crew, as a new member of this category. It's that good. If your family or friends ever play Hearts or Spades, this is a MUST HAVE. Otherwise, it is still lots of fun and provides hours of entertainment.
Essentially, you are completing tricks, just like Hearts and Spades, but the catch is that specific cards must be taken by specific players in order to win that round. For example, the pink 5 (think 5 of diamonds) must be taken by player A, and the blue 7 must be taken by player B in order to win that round. Sounds easy? Well you can't talk!
instead, communication can only happen once for each player (per round), and is limited to 3 options: "this is my high card for this suit", "this is my low card for this suit", and "this is my only card left in this suit". This creates hilarious scenarios of silently flailing your arms and getting other players attention, you're desperately pointing and pleading in silence while your confused crewmates attempt to decipher your charades.
So when playing with newbies (ie, those who haven't played many indie board games):
If one person fully understands the rules, they can easily explain the game to a group of newbies and get to playing in less than 10 minutes. (most of that time which is spent explaining the concept of trick-taking). The fact that it's cooperative will be exciting to those who aren't used to playing craft board games. I usually like to play the first 4 missions multiple times before advancing to the later missions, so that newbies can get the concept down.
For board game veterans:
The Crew offers a sequence of missions, 50 missions long, which get increasingly more difficult. For context, it takes 2-3 hours to get to mission 10, playing casually with my family. The game does not expect you to finish 50 missions in one sitting. Instead, it provides empty spaces in the mission book for you to write down scores and results. There are 5 different slots, for 5 different "crews" to keep track of over time. Basically, if group of friends X gets bored, you can feel safe taking a break with group X, and the next night, start a brand new mission with group of friends Y, knowing that your progress with group X is recorded for later play. There are also expansions to add to the challenge.
Finally, the price is an incredible value offer. ~$10 USD will buy you this awesome game which can be enjoyed for years to come. A better question to ask is: why should I not get this awesome game?
My only complaint is that they used carboard cards, which get very dirty very quickly. They should have went with 100% plastic to prevent this issue. Consider purchasing card protectors.
