Why lightweight nylon travel tote make a good gift

  • Nylon is light and packs flat, so it adds little weight to luggage or daily bags.
  • Water-resistant fabric handles wet sidewalks, drizzle and spills better than plain cotton.
  • It works as a carry-on personal item, a gym bag or a souvenir bag on trips.

What to look for

  • Look for a top zipper closure to keep contents secure on planes, trains and busy commutes.
  • Check the dimensions against airline personal item limits if it will be used as a carry-on.
  • See whether it folds into its own pocket and includes a trolley sleeve for suitcases.

Questions people ask

Is a nylon travel tote waterproof?
Most are water-resistant rather than fully waterproof, so they handle light rain but can soak through in a downpour. Seams and zippers are usually the first places water gets in.
Can a nylon tote be used as an airline personal item?
Many can, as long as the packed bag fits the airline's personal item size limits. Measure it when full, since soft totes expand as they are loaded.
