Always in my bag/backpack

Use it for everything. Sports gear, groceries, dirty clothes on a weekend trip, or as a snack bag for road trips. Its durable and small enough to always have in your bag/backpack/car. Really love that it can be closed with a zipper. Most other packable grocery bags dont have a zipper. Have gifted this to others and they also love it.
I used the packable tote on a trip to Ireland last spring. It worked great for the “extras” we picked up along the way. Light and easy to carry. And exceptionally easy to pack. The zipper closer is brilliant
I am on my second version of this bag and love it for shopping at a Mercat or a local Bodega when traveling and just finished using it for a 35-day adventure in Paris. However, when I fill it and need to walk any distance, I find it gets heavy, and my hands are not free to photograph enroute. If you were to add two (2) Cord Hook loops tab stitched into the shoulder strap where it meets the zipper on the next version of the Packable Tote so you can sling it cross-body style with a Peak Design Slide camera strap. Peak Design already offers this capability on the revamped Peak Design Everyday Tote 15L which comes with a removable padded shoulder strap to convert for cross-body sling carry. They just missed this capability on this bag. Here is a completed modification adding a Cord Hook loop on the Peak Design Packable Tote to allow it to be used in a cross-body sling configuration.
I bought this mainly so I can put everything I need for the airplane into this bag, and pack it into my 45L travel backpack. That way, when I board, instead of having to grab multiple items and be all awkward, I can just pull out the tote and throw the backpack in the overhead.
Dope tote. I use it for all my activities, from groceries to workouts to dog stuff. It's roomy, light and packable. I always keep a carabiner on it so I can easily hook it to a bag *just in case*. The little key pocket is clutch for small items like keys.
It’s been a great market bag and because it packs down so small, it just lives in my daily sling. I’ve used for so many things lately. Grabbing stuff from the market, to return item I need to send back at the UPS store, to taking treats to the neighbors. It’s comfortable to shoulder carry or hang down. Highly recommend.
