Would this bag be good for daily work life? Like carrying planners/schedules, documents, ect?

I use mine for work carrying a notepad, planner, iPad, and other essentials, so yes, it can be used for that. One thing to keep in mind is that the bag is soft. When empty, it will collapse. The photos show the bag upright, but the only way the bag will stand like that is if it is full. The fabric seems sturdy and durable, but is not stiff at all.

I love my bag. A small critter chewed through the main zipper on 1st trip. Im heart broken. Any way to have repaired? Ive only had it a few months.

If the zipper is the only part that was damaged, have it replaced. Ask at alterations shops whether they can sew in a new zipper.

A design flaw?: no top flap (just an exposed zipper). Has anyone actually used this bag in a day of hiking in the rain?

No design flaw here! This is my EDC bag and it doesn’t show any sign of wear and tear after everyday use. If your worried about rain water getting thru the zippers, don’t, this bag is roomy and tough. I haven’t submerged it by any means, but I have been in the rain—dry.

What are the dimensions of the bag (L, W, D)?

L 16-17" - W 7" - H 12" it's a nice extra medium sized bag
