I have been using these bags for years - I am especially fond of the LG and XL bags with both the long and short handles. I have at least 6 of them! I also give them as gifts - people love them. This bag was the first I have ordered in the Bittersweet color. It was a lot less red than I expected. I would describe it as a pinky coral. My friend loved it but I was surprised by the color.
ProsDurable, Great Value, Performing as Expected, washes well, sturdy after years of use
I have had a large one of these for years and years. It has been everywhere and carried everything and anything. I have thrown it into the washer repeatedly and although it just now starting to look a little worn (after over a decade of use) it is just as sturdy as ever. Love it. It carries everything we need to the beach (towels, gear, etc.) and we have a family of 5. Couldn't ask for more!
ProsDurable, Great Value, bigger than it looks, will last a lifetime
I wanted a carry on for a trip to Africa and agonized over L vs XL. I chose the large zip top when the customer service rep told me she fit in the XL. The bag is much larger than it looks (our 4 year old can fit in it) but even full, it did squash down to reasonable carry on size. Luckily it was quite large, because our luggage didn't arrive for 4 days, and it was all I had. I was happy I chose the short handles, which fit perfectly over my shoulder and allowed me to carry it securely while running through airports. I will definitely be ordering another zip-top in size medium, with long handles, which should work perfectly as a carry on for regular air travel. These bags are unbelievably sturdy and well made.
The quality of this bag is incredible!! I am EXTREMELY happy with the monogramming and bright color in the fabrics! This bag is tough and I will be ordering more! Great gift idea too!!
