    How many did they have in Malaga and do you think it'd fit a welding helmet? The website says Malaga doesn't stock it.

      I'm thinking more of a bike helmet, when needing to carry it

      Doubt it is big enough for helmets, except for bicycles.
      The zipper is only 500mm long & the bag flat is 650L x 350H.

  Bought the Duffle bag in Brisbane on Wednesday using the $10 SCA credit. Store only had 1 but showed in stock at a couple of stores then.

  Seems well made (zips operate easily, stitching seems good) & should last a while. Good reviews. Light & folds small into zippered pocket - so handy to take when travelling, to bring back extra stuff.

  Happy with it. Good size without being too big. Using on an island break next week, to carry clothes towels etc.

  Reject shop have a similar one in current travel gadget sale. Cheaper price but not so well made.

  ---

  Didn't buy the 12L pack - tiny & rides ridiculously high on an adult male's back. Better suited to kids use. Bought similar for $2.50 on AliExpress earlier this year - never used.

  Again seems well made. Would be good with light stuff for beach, but wouldn't trust with shopping. Have bought cheaper ones on my travels (Poundland in London) - stitching in straps failed quickly carrying a few kg groceries. With no padding on back, those bags weren't comfortable.
  Most Brisbane stores had stock on Wednesday. No reviews.

  ---

  Towels looked & felt good. Again cheaper @Reject Shop travel sale. Have too many similar towels from decades of travel. Very handy.

  Never leave home without a towel.
  A towel, [The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy] says, is about the most massively useful thing an interstellar hitchhiker can have. Partly it has great practical value. You can wrap it around you for warmth as you bound across the cold moons of Jaglan Beta; you can lie on it on the brilliant marble-sanded beaches of Santraginus V, inhaling the heady sea vapors; you can sleep under it beneath the stars which shine so redly on the desert world of Kakrafoon; use it to sail a miniraft down the slow heavy River Moth; wet it for use in hand-to-hand-combat; wrap it round your head to ward off noxious fumes or avoid the gaze of the Ravenous Bugblatter Beast of Traal (such a mind-boggingly stupid animal, it assumes that if you can't see it, it can't see you); you can wave your towel in emergencies as a distress signal, and of course dry yourself off with it if it still seems to be clean enough.

    Grabbed one each… except towel…

    I would say the bags are not suited for the heavy stuff. Even though the stitching is neat but the material itself left me in doubt

    the 35L comes handy to fit in babies or toddle short distant travel needs. Like nappies, wet tissue, formula etc. Towel & extra clothes

    the 12L used the other day for carrying 3x 2L dairy farmer milk. It worries me that might tear and drop the milk somehow.
    Not sure for long distant but I used it only for short distant.

      Yes, wouldn't carry heavy or pointy items in either - the fabric might fail. That's why I'm using the Duffle bag to carry soft clothes & towels for trip. Destined to find a use for spare bag when travelling overseas again.

      Once the fabric fails, it's the end of use. Stitching can be repaired, but at this price - not worth doing. Had a similar pack in the repair pile, but instead replaced it with one from China for $2.50.

      A bit of a risk carrying 6+kg of milk in the pack. But the load (with no sharp edges) would be evenly spread, so less likely to cause ripping of the fabric. That's why I suggested use when going to beach - light soft items, like the baby gear use you suggested.

      My experience with similar packs when travelling overseas wasn't good. When grocery shopping, weight cut into shoulders & items pressed into back - fabric / straps ultimately failed. When exploring on a day trip, lost something out of a hole that developed in pack - not a good experience. Now carry a good padded day pack on trips.

      I only bought the Duffle bag because I had free credit to use up & couldn't find much else of use for $10 or less. Don't think I'd buy otherwise.
