Customer Reviews Patagonia Lightweight Travel Tote

This bag made for an excellant diaper for long travels through Hawaii. It held an incredible amount of baby essentials and non-essentials, was extremely lightweight and durable.

My husband took one listen to this fabric and I knew I'd have to send it back. He does have very sensitive ears, but I do agree that the ripstop is a noisy fabric. It was smaller in person than I expected, but very lightweight, which is a huge plus.

I took this as my "personal item" on a Europe trip last summer along with a big backpack as my only other luggage. I did a lot of hunting for the right bag for my personal item and this one was a fair choice. I knew of course that it did not have a cross-body strap option, which in my opinion, is the big downfall of this bag. On a few occasions when I was just sick of trying to keep it on my shoulder on top of my backpack strap, I used the little backpack strap option of this bag to sling it cross body... although that is not its intended purpose and so it sat awkwardly. It was the perfect size tho. I still like using it, but I'd say it's more of a day bag and less of a traveler. I would give it 5 stars if it had a cross-body strap option, or even some rings to which to attach a cross body strap. Can't have it all!

I loved the idea that it's very packable, but a great caveat was that it was also flip-floppy and didn't provide very much support. I guess it's hard to have it all!

I bought this to use as a diaper bag for days out and zoo, park etc. where both hands are needed to chase after a toddler and a pre-schooler. I do really like it, I just think I'll use it more for wearing while bike riding and packing for longer trips where an extra bag is needed (it's super light-weight and will take up little space). I love that it has two side pockets for water bottles, it just lacks inside pockets and structure for daily use. The red color is great.

My quest for diaper bag after a year has met its end after finding about this tote. It's so light and functional. I wish it was a little bigger and longer, and I also wish that it has a hip support for its backpack mode. Otherwise, it's useful for day trips. It's not too girly and not too frumpy either.
