I plan on using this bag on a cruise for beach and pool use. But before then, I'm testing it out as a workday tote to see how it fits with my needs. And it's great! The double handle is nice, easy to grab but also has the option to sit on my shoulder well. The straps are comfortable in the hand or on the shoulder. The inner pocket seems to come unsnapped a little too easily, but it's still useful. The outer pocket is great for my sunglasses case; deep enough that it doesn't easily slip out. It can even hold an iPad mini. I really like the fabric. It feels like it will repel water very nicely, but it isn't too crinkly. The double zipper closure is good. I like the cord zipper pulls. The color is a true deep navy blue. Very nautical looking with the white handles, so I'm pleased. My second choice would have been coral pink, which seems like it might get dirty easily but would probably be a gorgeous bright color. I would buy this again, buy it as a gift, or recommend it to someone who was looking for a good beach tote. No regrets!
