I wanted a large bag to carry my gym stuff, and my sister wanted a large "Mom" bag that could hold swim stuff for the entire family.
These bags fit the bill perfectly! They are amazingly roomy with solid construction and extra pockets. The inside has a zippered pocket to secure small items you don't want to lose (I keep my gym membership card in here.) The outside has a large pocket to store items that need to be easily accessible (or for items you want to keep separated from the rest of the bag (flip flops, for example.)
The white bag is a true white (which does show dirt a bit more) and not a 'natural' colour. The blue is a vibrant primary blue.
My favourite feature in this bag, which I didn't notice before purchase, was the key hook within the bag. It's just a plastic hook, but it is perfect for attaching my keys to so they don't get lost in the bottom of the bag or fall out of the outside pocket.
I applied heat transfer vinyl decals to both bags and they look fantastic! No issues with the heat from the iron.
We've used these bags several times already and they seem to be holding up well.
Zipper and seam construction is solid.
If you're looking for a sturdy, heavy duty bag with a lot of great features, and one that you can customize with heat transfer vinyl, do not hesitate to buy this bag!
