I needed something for the gym to carry my water bottle, towel, e-reader, keys, etc. and this tote bag works perfectly. I can stand it up next to whatever exercise machine I'm using and grab items from it as I need them. The medium size bag fits easily inside my backpack along with my gym clothes and toiletries.
I purchased this bag in a medium size (think- the size of a paper grocery bag with handles) and it's perfect in every way. It's exactly as described and has been used to carry a pair of ranger boots, a bunch of tools needed to complete a sizable project, surfing gear (rash guard, flip flops, board shorts, and towel), and even groceries.
