YETI Camino 35 Carryall Tote Bag: I’ve been in the search of the perfect beach bag. I was a few clicks from buying a Bogg bag, but was worried about how durable it might be over time, as well as whether it would be worth the price tag (considering the material it's made of). It also just didn’t have all of the organization I wanted. Instead, I ended up ordering the YETI Camino 35 Carryall Tote Bag in Black Forest Green, and my first impressions were that: 1. Dang, this bag seems durable 2. It's such a pretty color! We've been taking the Camino on trips to the beach for a family of 4, and it's been our water workhorse. My favorite features about this bag: 1. It has 2 retractable sleeves on the inside that keep my gigantic water bottles upright. 2. There are two zippered compartments for valuables/small items that could otherwise easily be swallowed up in any tote. 3. The shell is totally waterproof and durable. I’m a big germaphobe, so being able to completely clean off and sanitize the outside of the tote bag is a huge plus. 4. The molded bottom means that it’s able to stand upright, which better helps keep water and sand out (the tote doesn’t fall onto its side where sand can more easily get in). This thing is overbuilt, but I love that about it. While I don’t think I would want to put 50 lbs of stuff into it, I like that I could, and that you can also hold it by the handles that are cleverly incorporated into the shoulder straps. We’ve all had those heavy bags that have dug into our shoulders. Yeti Panga 50 and 100L Waterproof Duffel Bags: We recently ordered both the 50L and 100L Panga Waterproof Duffels from Yeti. We have only used these on one vacation thus far, but they held up well and we can already see that these will last us a long time. We have been looking for durable and versatile duffel bags for a while, as we love to travel with our young boys, and we know that some of our future adventures will test the durability of any luggage/duffels we bring with us. Our next trip will be to the Peruvian Amazon in September. These bags don't have a ton of interior organization aside from a mesh pocket on both sides and a cinching strap to help close the bag when it is full. However, these bags hold their shape very well when fully expanded, and they are easy to keep organized with packing cubes. We love that they also decompress down to be pretty flat, making them easy to store when not in use. They are super easy to wipe down and clean after use. We also love that they can be worn as a backpack with very comfortable backpack straps. Even if you are not likely to test the limits of durability of these bags or accidentally submerge them under water, these bags give you the peace of mind that your stuff will be safe from the elements under just about any circumstance. If you are looking for a duffel bag that you can depend on and that will stand the test of time, look no further than the Panga line from Yeti.
