    A small review of this bag. I bought this for my mom three or four years ago because I thought she would like the covered bottom and the lighter weight. When I got it, it's definitely lighter than my Whale, but the material they use for the bag is a little rubbery and maybe a little sticky? I remember being surprised by how different it felt. But I gave it to her. She liked it when she opened it. She hasn't said anything about how it feels, but I don't know if she's ever touched my Whale to notice the difference.

    We have a Saltwater Whale as well. We even take it when traveling since it folds flat.

    In my family, we all carry our own stuff! however, my fav i used to carry to the pool is one i got from the Mixed Bag school fundraiser a while back. I'm pretty sure you can get it from the site without the fundraiser part. They have different styles: pockets, no pockets, zippers, no zippers, different shapes.

    if you just need a BIG bag for tons of towels and don't need pockets, I'd recommend the big blue bag from Ikea, the Frakta. GREAT beach bag bc roomy and indestructible. Easy to clean the sand off too. Last year I bought a rainbow version! LOVE.

    Thanks everyone! I knew I had seen raves for the saltwater bags before but I couldn't figure out how to actually get useful results from the tapatalk search.

    I ended up grabbing 2 of the land's end x-large canvas bags since they were ~$20 with the coupon FLASH (still working as of today!) but I may get a whale bag too!

    The Whale also makes a great ski bag. Wet boots can go in the middle then extra gloves, etc in the pockets. Then I shove the whole thing in a locker. I have a Whale, Dolphin and the zip-top Whale. I have used them all often over the last 12 years or so and they are still in great shape. I love for travel too- lay flat in suitcase or duffle. We also have the shower bags for summer camp.

    I bought shower bags for my girls to go to sleep over camp last summer! I could only find black with the zipper top option, but I figured that would be the safest option if it got dropped or fell over.

    I also bought the shower bags for my kids to use on their schools' overnight trips.
