Sailors like gear that is functional and looks good too, and that's why you can't go wrong with tote bags, duffels, and other bags and accessories from SailorBags. Made of real sail cloth and stitched with a nautical look, they look great on any boat or dock or in the marina pub - but it's their features of design and construction that make them really excel over the typical canvas or nylon bags from the big box marine stores. Even better, you don't have to forego buying the stuff you'll want to put in them just to be able to afford them.
Key Features of SailorBag Totes and Bags
- Outer construction of heavyweight (but not heavy) strong sailcloth fabric that is easily cleaned
- Zippered top and waterproof inner liner ensures your stuff stays dry regardless of boat conditions
- Totes have a triple layer of fabric on the bottom to protect against the worst marine abuses
- Inner and outer zippered pockets
- Handle straps and trim in red or blue
- Custom embroidery available
- Reasonable prices

Personal Review
I've used a SailorBags tote bag for the last two seasons on my sailboat, giving it a good workout in lots of different situations and under different conditions. It still looks new, and the waterproofing of the interior has never let me down - I finally used it even for my laptop on rainy days without worries. Life on a boat can get messy, and we've spilled a few things on this bag, but it's always cleaned up nicely and now really stands out from the old canvas boat bags that get grungier every year.
If you know what it's like to have to dump out a bag full of stuff on your berth to hunt for your sunglasses or MP3 player, you'll also really come to appreciate the interior and exterior pockets to keep things sorted out. The outside pocket is zippered too to keep your keys or whatever inside when someone swings the bag up over the rail and for a moment it's upside-down or goes bouncing along the foredeck.
