The Drawstring Backpack performed as I expected it to. Item is nice to have to assist with carrying extra items with when going places especially when not drivingI like this Cinch Bag because it is not too expensive yet the quality will last for a reasonable amount of time. Cheap Cinch Bags rip immediately, and this one performs much better than a bottom level one. Pay the $5.00 or so, and this is a good , colorful Cinch Bag that will carry light to medium weight items very well. Cinch Bags are perfect for people who need to use their hands for a can or crutches, or a walker. It's also good for bikers. It's especially good for loose papers , lightweight notebooks, and organizing and separating things. Buy two or three so they will be fun to match with clothes, be safe ( orange, yellow, neon type colors) while biking or walking or identify special bags for specific objects so they are easy to find. You can also store things in the bags and spot them by color. I have a cane at the present time so I need to keep things out of my hands and on my back in a lightweight manner to walk in a balanced way. Place a sturdy freezer plastic, zip lock type bag inside the bag, if you want to carry heavy items or are trying to make the bag hold up a long time. Don't expect it to hold and tote bricks for you !!!We used this for a couple of Lego books and the duplo Legos to go with them. It lasted for a really long time and probably would have lasted even longer but I needed to wash it from a juice spill. It did not survive the washing in good shape, but it was still usable for awhile until it unraveled.Great price and pretty sturdy as long as you don't need to wash it.I bought a handful of these for my son and his friends for their 5th grade Washington, DC trip. I figured that with the droves of kids visiting the Nation's capitol it would be easier to track of our group it they all had these nifty, bright colored, drawstring bags. No one got lost, so it was good for that purpose. We packed them all with fruit, juice packs, bottled water, chips, fruit snack, and sani-wipes for the them to snack on throughout the day. They have lasted through the years, my kid is in 7th grade and when his friend's come over to hang out they still have these bags. They use them to bring snacks, video games, pool clothes, or overnight items. So, not only are they nifty, they are hefty, hefty, hetfy! A good buy for a great price!Cute bag for I wanted it for which is to take on my daily walks with my dog. It is not for heavy things but I just carry my phone, a water bottle, bags to clean up after my dog, pepper spray, and a few other small objects. The strings/straps can be adjusted to make the pack shorter and I had to do that because it hung down to my butt. A drawstring keeps the top closed. There is no zipper. Strong material for the price and is perfect for my use.I had one of these for over 3 years, and I was shocked at how durable and simple these are, for the price. So I've ordered another in a different color. The only real reason I ordered another is because over time, it becomes stained and the stains really can't be removed. I tried washing. It's not a huge deal, but if you get a light-colored one, just be aware that it will look dirtier over time.I've had this bag for over two years, so it's served its purpose and then some! I would actually be a lazy student and just use this to carry around a notebook and pens. The straps are a bit too long, and it did eventually tear a little in one corner, but overall this was a great purchase. I would use it during Mardi Gras all the time because it can hold a lot more than one would think.Bought this for my cruise, good buy.lots of room for clothes and gifts.i would not recommend using as a backpack, as my string ripped out of hole (easily fixed by restringing it and re-knotting) but puts alot of pressure on shoulders and hurts.COLOR= same as photo and didn't fade at all after washing it 2x so far.
