The reviewer reports that the long handles fit comfortably over a shoulder, but become uncomfortable quickly with heavy loads because they lack padding. The reviewer reports that the zipper closure and water-resistant coating kept the tote’s contents dry during their reported use. The reviewer says the long handles accommodate different body types, though the tote may drag on the ground for shorter users.
