This is my absolute essential travel bag. I go "carry on" only and use this as a liner inside my suitcase. It weighs NOTHING, and if the gate check agent is in a bad mood and makes me check my rolling suitcase, I can just reach in and take this out (full of all my essential items) and stuff it in whatever overhead space this is while my rolling bag disappears into baggage claim. It is unbelievably strong and I've used it as a checked bag on multiple occasions when I've bought too much stuff o...n my travels and need to check a bag when returning. It serves as a laundry bag when I'm at my destination, a grocery bag when doing a bit of food shopping, and is water resistant so helps protect my items in an unexpected rainstorm. I give these as gifts to all my friends and at first they are skeptical and then they fall in love too. I wash mine in the machine and hang to dry and so far I've gotten years of use out of my initial purchases. I recommend getting several different colors and "doubling up" - so, for example, I line my suitcase with a blue and an orange one - with all of my clothes packed inside - and then when I arrive at my destination I use the orange for dirty laundry and the blue for clean. They are so lightweight it's fine to pack several.
This is the greatest bag I have every owned. I always keep one with me in my backpack and I use it all the time, carrying a weeks worth of groceries or filling it up with firewood or as a laundry bag.
Machine washable and quick drying. I have four of these bags and I don't leave my house without one, these are the greatest reusable bags ever made. I have had at least 1 for about 8 years now, and I am really hard on them. The handle was starting to fray but i put a couple stiches in it and ...now its fine. The stuff sack has unattached from the bag and black top of the draw string pouch has also pulled a way however its still completely usable. My original bag has started to develop tiny pin holes, but again i filled it with 60lbs of fire wood.
If you are reading this review, you should just buy one you won't regret it.
I love this bag, if Sea to Summit stops making these I am going to need to buy a couple more so I have a life time supply.
