This is a bag that has a nice waterproof plastic liner. The outer material is softer and doesn't feel plastic-y. My wife loves the design of the bag and says this looks very trendy. It has a handle and the handle has a nice loop that makes it easy to hold and there is a button so you can unbutton it, put it around something on your backpack/stroller/etc. and have it hang. That's a thoughtful design that I think is very functional. The button on the handle is plastic, I wish they used a more sturdy metal for that area. The zipper also feels a bit flimsy, I'm not sure how durable this will be, but I'm not sure you can expect a lot of durability given the price either. This will pretty easily fit a couple kids bathing suits or one adult bathing suit (possibly more, depending on the size). I'm not sure it would fit a standard beach towel, unless it's one of those super thin ones that roll up small (but those usually dry quickly). I think this is a great thing to bring with you when you head to the beach or pool and want to make sure that you have a place for wet items. Overall, I think this is a good value for the money. 15
