Everest Luggage Deluxe Shopping Tote

I get so many compliments on the bag. It is made well -- very sturdy, excellent canvas, sewing is great. Secure heavy-duty top zipper. The bottom can hold ice packs to keep your picnic lunch or grocery store items cold while you do your shopping. TheI used this for my last semester of school and currently use it to hold all my nursing gear in my job.It is BIG .. it holds a TON of stuff -- including 3 or 4 large text books, extra uniform, shoes, lunch, water bottles, etc.Pay attention to the sizes -- as I probably would have gone w/ the next size down for easier carrying around day to day. The adjustable straps are awesome and the little mesh side pocket is great for pens, The inside as one small side zipper pocket. The bottom (which appears as the black "trim" on the underside) can be zippered open/closed to put in a ice pack. It's of ample size for the largest of large ice packs.I have not used the little extra bag that it detachable yet. I may put it on my keychain? Maybe a change purse? Probably would be best to put it on the inside.If your intention is to use it as a shopping tote -- it actually might be a bit heavy. The bag is heavy on it's own, so once filled, it's quite heavy. This, however, does not affect the overall rating I give this bag.
