STUFF WE LIKE Packing for the Beach or Summer Camp is a Breeze With This Mesh Backpack |
Backpacks are a time-tested and honored way of storing and carrying around all kinds of important items, but not all of them are waterproof or otherwise suitable for the beach or lake. This lightweight, adjustable, and functional mesh backpack gives you the best of both worlds. It combines the convenience of backpacks with the easy access of drawstring bags, and the mesh netting allows for better ventilation and a quicker drying time in damp environments. The bag features a large 40-liter capacity for towels, shoes, swimsuits, and more, as well as a mesh water bottle pocket and smaller zipper-close pouch for quick access to items like sunglasses or swimming goggles. |
