Here's a comparison to the REI Radiant 20 bag (blue one on bottom--I think that's what I have). So, Aegismax bag is significantly bigger and noticeably heavier. The thing took 4 weeks to arrive, but the shipping was free.
Ok, just a teaser for now, I'll climb in the thing later. Time to set up scaffolding before it hits 80F.

So, I opened up the package, and the bag is a right zip (and I ordered a left zip). I've been going back and forth with a guy on shipping the bag back and getting the correct one. He said he'd pay up to $10 shipping. Rather than reply, I went to the post office and got a quote of $57 to return it to China. I sent off that message this afternoon, and we'll see what he says. Otherwise on a quick inspection, the bag looks good.
I've ordered a number of things through Aliexpress, and I've have a number of small issues (like the above). At this point, I'd say that Aliexpress is pretty risky. On cheap, simple items, it might be worth the risk.
