Montbell Cotton Tote Bag

The plain one, and the one that gets used most. Heavyweight cotton canvas, firm enough that the bag stands up on its own while you load it — no wrestling with a collapsing tote at the checkout or the campsite table. Specs Material: cotton canvas Dimensions: H37 × W26 × D11cm Weight: 150g Colour: Ivory Style #1133629 # Actual colours may vary Features Durable heavyweight canvas, suited to camping, daily use and travel Firm fabric keeps the bag upright for easy loading Tips from X-Boundaries The upright thing matters more than it sounds. A soft tote needs one hand holding it open; this one does not, which is the difference between useful and annoying at a market stall. Canvas is not waterproof. In a Singapore downpour the contents get wet — this is a shopping and camp-table bag, not a rain bag. At SGD 19.90 this is the entry point to Montbell's bag range. If you want something that will take airport handling for years, look at the Rambler Tote in Ballistic nylon instead. Cotton softens and creases with use. That is the material behaving normally, not wearing out.
