Know before you buy
The interior is lined with 18oz Steeletex, which is both water and tear-resistant. You can easily wipe it down with a damp cloth or mild soap to remove dirt and debris after gardening.
Yes, the five exterior pockets are designed to accommodate standard gardening hand tools like trowels, pruners, and cultivators, keeping them organized and accessible.
The exterior is crafted from rugged #8 duck canvas, which is durable and heavy-duty. While the interior Steeletex lining provides a moisture barrier, the exterior canvas is not specifically treated for waterproofing.
The optional 1.5-inch shoulder strap is detachable, allowing you to switch between using the leather-gripped webbing handles and hands-free carrying as needed.
