Where are the long handles? This would have gotten 5 stars if it hand a long handle option and an inside zip pocket for keys and cell phone. Try carrying duck decoys with a short handle...doesn't work.
I use this bag daily to throw stuff into at the last minute on my way to and from work I like that it stands up well and has a wide opening to throw things in I don't use the zipper much but like that it is there It is sturdy and of excellent quality While it is a bit more masculine than other similar options--it still functions essentially as a purse! Practicality and functionality is the thing though so I don't mind.
There are so many great things about this bag! Sturdy, waterproof and a great size (I went with the large, perfect for swim gear for 2 kids). But, as others have said, I would love if the straps were just a couple of inches longer so you could throw it over your shoulder easily, and an interior zipper pocket for keys & phone seems strangely lacking. If those things are added to a future version I will be ordering another!
I've had my large tote for almost four years to use to carry all my dog's gear back and forth to her school every week. It has taken a beating and still looks like new. The most durable tote around. And the lining makes it easy to keep clean. I recently bought one for a friend as a gear bag for her young pup.
