Smaller than expected and missing cross-body strap
on February 22, 2026
Posted by: Andrew
Others have pointed out the relatively small size of the bag, which is smaller than expected from the product advertising. Having said that, it’s really convenient to carry round in my backpack and be there to help with shopping on the way home from work. Where it fails for me is in the fact that I ride a bike, and shoulder version slips off and is inconvenient for the legs. If this had a cross-body strap option, and was 50%-100% larger, I’d happily buy again.

Extremely Wrinkled – Not What I Expected
on February 18, 2026
Posted by: WRT
I purchased this packable tote assuming the material would maintain a clean appearance even when in use. However, that is not the case at all. The bag becomes heavily wrinkled the moment it is unfolded or carried, and it looks very cheap and worn out.
I understand that “packable” items may crease slightly, but this is excessive. The product photos do not reflect how the bag actually looks in real life. I’ve attached photos to show the condition after simply carrying it. It does not resemble the advertised images.
Unfortunately, I regret this purchase and would not recommend it.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

One of the best travel accessories. Compact and hidden when you don’t need it. Big and durable bag when you need it!

I bought two of these to carry bike items (rain gear, water bottle, food and helmet) for a bike and barge trip with my wife. Made it very convenient to carry all of our gear from room to bike and back to the room at the end of the day. My wife also used this tote on the way home as a carry-on for souvenirs. We now use them in our vehicles for the grocery store or farmers market. I like the fact that they are very compact and do not take up much room when traveling or storing in our vehicles. These tote bags are very well made and I think the quality
of the materials is excellent. I do wish they were a little bigger.

I carry one of these in each of my bags. It’s been a lifesaver on several occasions. I love how small it gets but also how light it is
I would recommend this to a friend!

Tiny but mighty!

Love my packable tote, once packed it's smaller than a regular fabric tote, yet unpacked it's big enough for my errands, plus love that I can zip it close and forget about it. It's always with my now, might get multiple ones to put one in each of my bag!
I would recommend this to a friend!

A perfect size to put all the stuff during a long flight, good carry on tote to put your iPad, sleeping items, snacks and put it in front of your seat

Good but can be even better

I like the portability of the bag but it can be improved by making straps either longer or adjustable
I would recommend this to a friend!
