This bag is sturdy and well-constructed in a durable cotton canvas. The padding is enough to keep beverages insulated, but not too thick that it is bulky. It can be easily folded down and stored away. I like that it has an adjustable strap that is convenient for a variety of carrying styles. It is long enough to wear across the body and can be shorted to carry over your shoulder. However, the strap isnt padded, so it is a little uncomfortable to carry for long durations. In addition to a growler, I was able to fit a regular 64 oz bottle snuggly and various smaller size bottles with room to spare inside. This insulated tote would also come in handy on a leisurely hike if you need to keep a drink and some snacks cool. I also like the color contrast between the canvas and suede. The one detail that may be a little inconvenient is the tie front aspect. I think it would be more convenient with an elastic cord and adjuster to tighten. Overall this is a functional and stylish tote!
