I tried to sublimate on this bag and it scorched the handles and melted the insides together. If used for another purpose it would be a great bag. It just cant withstand high temps.
These totes are not the large beach totes, but rather a manageable size for everyday hauling. I bought them to use with HTV and try sublimation. I believe they are coated in pvc inside the front pocket and the bag itself so I used a small bath towel and cloth inside the pockets to keep them from melting together. The black handles will also melt so I protected them with a few sheets of printing paper and covered the entire project with a Teflon sheet before sublimating in my press at 375 for 60 seconds.
Great product and red and black version looks awesome

Great product and red and black version looks awesome. I embellished with heat transfer vinyl and it looks great. (Note: I used Siser Easyweed Extra for nylon. I highly recommend using a silicon rubber pad to cover design and area of jacket when using a heat press so heat won't melt jacket). I do wish it was lightly lined, came in other two-tone colors, and in kids' sizes.
Used this tote bag as a teacher gift during New Teacher Orientation. We had a drawing for teacher gifts. We filled this tote with things a new teacher would need . . hand sanitizer, paper, Lysol wipes, etc.

Love this jacket. It is very lightweight and unlined (which is great bc I get very hot) and easy to fold into itself to make a pouch that you can carry around and have anytime. I embroideried on mine and ended up getting tons of request to do the same thing for many others bc they are so loved. Size is accurate but fits looser (like most people like in rain jackets).
I made this for a customer who wanted a weatherproof lightweight jacket for travel. They said it did the job in rain, wind and cold temps out the country, yet lightweight enough to fold up in their backpack. Took patches and transfers well. Plus it is very inexpensive for a good profit margin.
I intended to use bicycling and this might be ok but a bit full around middle for me, and noisy. I am normally med. in t shirt and am tall and thin women. I got large and was glad cuz the medium I bought for my daughter, had too short sleeves for me. My boyfriend who has big stomach, it was perfect in XL though he would take large in t shirts. Hope this helps.
I ordered several of these bags as part of the bridesmaid gifts for my wedding. The quality was good for the price and I still use my bag daily! (wedding was 8 months ago). The bag shows little wear and tear and works great - definitely recommend.
