I like the bag, nice and large, enough room for a beach towel, change of clothes, lunch etc. but I wished I had ordered the short handles instead. The long handles are way to long and un-wieldy, stiff. I wish I could exchange it, so live and learn.
My first bag is 15 years old and has traveled extensively through Europe carrying much heavier items than intended. I only have had problems with loose thread by the zipper (which I trimmed periodically with scissors), and with keeping it clean. I decided on a second bag since I want to update the first one and am also able to share the first bag with fellow travelers who visit us in Europe. Will definitely buy another - in 15 years time I hope.
These are great all-purpose bags. We have one XL for each child with their names on them and we use them for traveling. We also have lots of extras and it really helps me stay organized for road trips! I use one for baby essentials (diapers, wipes, cups) and use one for car snacks and one for activities as well. I recommend them to everyone. To wash them, I turn them inside out and zipper them so the color doesn't fade and I let them air-dry. Buy one immediately!
These bags are GREAT! I have several sizes and use them for lunch bags, overnight bags, school bags, pack up and LETS GO bags. Sturdy, good looking, and washable. Highly recommend.
