I have had the original small-sized Quick Draw Deck Bag for a couple of years but only used it a few times. The reason is because the plastic clips to fasten its straps to the D-rings on the kayak are too stiff, especially for cold wet hands at the end of a paddle. You can push the clips hard to get them onto the kayak's D-rings, but it is almost impossible to get them off when trying to take the bag off when packing up the kayak. One of these clips soon broke. There's got to be a better way to fasten this bag. There is an alternative to attach the bag by its own D-rings to the kayak D-rings, but that would be fiddly and involve extra straps, etc. Easy to fix - use better clips. A new bigger bag is coming out and if the same clips are used it will be a bigger problem. The demo videos go into fast motion when these bags are attached and none show them being taken off! Other than that, the bag is fine.
