Not as protective as a hard case, but far more manageable.
This is by far the best 'gig bag' I've ever had. It's not as protective as a case, for obvious reasons. But if you need a bag you can strap to your back and yet is as protective as possible, then there's no better option.
I can fit any of my guitars in it: telecaster, stratocaster, PRS, Les Paul,...
The thick foam and the rubber bumper provide adequate protection. I've never had any issues transporting my valuable guitars in this bag thrown in my trunk. The straps and handle feel comfortable.
Unlike most hard cases, there's also a lot of room for cables, tab books etc. There's also a small net-style pocket inside the large pocket for smaller items.
Oh and it looks pretty slick, too. I love that it's not a Gibson or Fender branded bag, which I worry would attract opportunistic thieves interested in selling a valuable instrument.
Just 2 complaints:
- For my strap-locked PRS and Les Paul I have to remove the strap and any tremelo bars to get it in. That's of course the flip side of having a tight bag. The zipper also doesn't allow for much wiggle room, so switches might get knocked while inserting or removing.
- An additional pocket on top would have been useful to store smaller items.

Lightweight and great protection for Les Paul
I seriously needed an upgrade from my 15 year old cheap (well not that cheap) and destroyed gig bag. I chose Mono instead of getting something that would fall apart after a few years and I am not disappointed. You pay the price yes but now I know that my guitar is really protected and I can still carry it like a gig bag. The boot is really effective and there's little hole to fit the strap button at the bottom of the bag, clever. It is lighter and slimer than what I thought it would be and my Les Paul fits tightly into it (no problem with the headstock). One downside is that it is not as comfortable to wear as a more affordable and less stiff gig bag (I still take it for short rides on a bicycle so it is fine). Hopefully I'll keep that one for life.

Good quality and trustworthy gigbag
My first impression on receiving this was that this is big. My second thought upon touching and opening it was "This is a quality product".
In regards to the size it is the same height as the Thomann wood guitar case and it actually wider (shoulder straps are part of the reason) This I must confess surprised me, but not negatively in any way.
The inside of the bag is very well insulated and with a neck rest build in for the guitar ensuring that the guitar is held snugly (not overly so) and secure. The good insulation is part of what makes this gigbag wider.
The outside material feels very sturdy and the zipper strong and secure and while have not tested it, I would not fear taking this out in the rain nor in any dusty environments. The shoulder straps are also comfotable and well adjustable. The bottom of the gigbag consist of solid rubber material which means I would not fear putting the back down on the ground or in train/bus fearing any liquid/dirt would get into the bag.
Naturally it is not a hardcase, but it is the most protective gigbag i have seen and would definitely recommend this.

Perfect to travel
Very rigid and high quality case.
Fits an SG, telecaster, strat ,.. perfectly. Hollowbodies do not fit in the case though. In the front pouch, there is room for 4 cables , packs of strings, and a few straps.
I have used it a few times for air travel, and your guitar is always safe.

The best solution to transport your guitar
I was looking for a handy and solid bag for my guitar because i moved abroad and I need to carry my guitar frequently. Mono guitar bag is amazing! I have an Ibanez S 470 that fits very good, but also a PRS custom 24 that I am not scared to carry in this bag. I think that is the best solution that mix confort and safety. It is a bit expansive... but it worths each single euro.

This gig bag is undeniably a high-quality option with high price tag
Sturdy construction, quality materials and design features make it a reliable choice. However, the lack of a full opening lid (bottom) and the higher price point compared to alternatives like Gator Transit Series which I also have (around 100 EUR) might be factors to consider when making your purchase decision.
