Sufficient storage capacity

I really liked the design and storage capacity. Personally, I think it would be an even better product if the opening could be closed with a zipper or tightened like a drawstring.

Easy to use

I was looking for a tote bag for business, and this one was a perfect match. The size is just right, and it has a sturdy bottom that keeps its shape when placed down, which is nice. It would be convenient to have a few more pockets inside.

Multi tote

I wanted a tote that I could use roughly for everyday use, so I bought it.
It's just about throwing things in and carrying them easily, but I think it's simply usable.
It seems to be waterproof and sturdy. It's also nice that it can be worn over the shoulder.
I like that it can also hold patches, adding a playful aspect.

It's good, but...

The size, the number of pockets, and the material feel are really good. But I still wish for a zipper or button on the lid. I have to be careful in crowded trains during commuting.

Since it doesn't have a zipper, it's open, but that makes it easy to take things in and out.

安心 for sudden rain

I encountered a sudden rain right after purchasing. The waterproofing is solid, and in the past, my bags were not completely waterproof and my items got wet. But this bag repels water well and has not leaked. It has both a shoulder strap and grab handle, making it a recommended bag for both shoulder and hand carry.

For the sports gym

I was looking for a gym bag and was deciding between NM82451 and this one, but I chose this one. It seems to work well for shoes, change of clothes, towels, and more. There are multiple pockets, so that's not a problem, but it would be nice if there were buttons or zippers for the top opening, so I could easily put in my wallet. However, the price is reasonable, so I consider it a minor issue...

A little cheaper

I also have a white canvas tote, but it has started to show some dirt. Since I bought it in black, I think I can use it more vigorously without worrying about that. It seems to be made of waterproof material, so I can close it when it rains even without a lid. If there was a lid, I feel it might get in the way when putting things in and out. The width isn't that long, so it becomes hard to fit a B5 size book inside if I put in a larger lunch box, so it’s not super spacious. I’m satisfied with buying it for just under 7000 yen with points and coupons.

Just right

I purchased it for carrying items when going out with my daughter. Although it’s a tote bag, it can be worn diagonally and has plenty of pockets, making it very practical. The size is just right, not too big or too small. Since I only chose solid black, I wish there were more color variations.

Rain

It's good even on rainy days. It's really nice that a plastic bottle can fit on the outside! I put this Explorer Utility Tote inside the mesh Gratton Mesh Tote S when I go out, and if I have a lot of shopping, I take it out and put it in two bags to come home. However, it's heavy, but I think it's better to struggle with it than to have paper bags tear.

Storage is satisfactory. The fabric feel and logo are concerning.

The storage capacity is satisfying, but I'm concerned about the texture of the fabric. Also, the brand logo seems too large compared to the bag size.
