The bags are made very well and they seem like nice, durable bags. However, they are way too long. For someone 5'5", the bag came up to my neck and went all the way down past my rear. Would really only work for an extremely tall person. Adjusting the straps only made it gather and become bulky. Sadly, I had to return.

This bag is attractive and roomy, and it has a decent-sized pocket with zipper to keep stuff separate.

Great to fit all swim items in bag or just for extra necessities or change of clothes for outing. Very versatile.

I love the idea one reviewer mentioned about modifying the bottom but I have no problems at all as it is. I even bought 2 of them. Holds my lightweight towel, swimmers snorkel, lotions/soaps, shoes, etc. Easy to hang over one shoulder so padding would be in the way. What I'm going to do for winter is use a compact, wheeled fabric cart & I'll tuck this whole back in it (I'm in Chicago so snow, etc.) Hands free, light weight with winter gear on. Love it.

This is a great bag for the price. This bag would be perfect and worth a little extra expense if the straps were padded and the bottom of the bag had a round or oval base rather than a single knife edged seam. I found that the single seam at the base did not allow for full use of the interior of the bag. Luckily I'm a swimmer and a seamstress and was able to purchase matching fabric and reworked the base of the bag.
