Nightstalker nylon cargo sporran ~ A Review

[Aldisimo]

Irregular nylon sporrans show up on the Stillwater closeout page from time to time, but I've been wary of buying one. Is anybody here who's gotten one willing to post a review?

I understand that the flaws don't interfere with the usability, but are they noticeable?

I too bought one of these sporrans only I have to report that the belt loop on the back of the sporran has come adrift. Specifically the material that comprises the loop has torn at the upper stitching.

This is a great pity since until that happened I used it almost every day. When I catch up to it I will get out needle and thread and repair it, but I was surprised that it happened considering how well made it seemed to be and how little I put in it.

The normal contents are wallet, drawstring purse, mobile phone, small pad of paper, ball point pen and a small pack of tissues. I thought that this was well within the capabilities of the sporran.

Still, it is an easy repair which I will carry out. The sporran itself has just arrived in Malta along with 60 kg of my belongings shipped out ahead of my arrival there in a few days. When I get there I will update this post with a photo.

On mine, one of the D-rings on the little strap for a belt constantly turns around, not a big deal, but annoying. For a long time I was also pulling thread out of the zipper, it doesn't seem to be attached to anything (I think it is just the small bit of fabric that holds the zipper), and it has finally stopped. The velcro on the inner flap is starting to peel away as well (some fabric glue will fix that). Finally the part that holds the belt strap thing is starting to give.

Now having said all that, I have had this sporran for at least two years now, and wear it quiet often so it has seen heavy use.
