Know before you buy
Unlike standard cotton totes, the Middy is constructed from 1000 denier Cordura, a high-performance fabric known for its exceptional resistance to tears, scuffs, and abrasions. It is built to professional-grade standards to handle heavy loads and daily wear without losing its shape.
The 1000D Cordura fabric is inherently durable and provides a high level of protection against the elements, making it much more weather-resistant than traditional canvas or cotton bags.
The bag features a reliable YKK zipper closure, which keeps your belongings secure and contained, unlike open-top totes that leave items exposed.
Yes, the straps are designed for everyday utility and are securely integrated into the bag's construction to distribute weight evenly, ensuring comfort even when the bag is fully loaded.
The Middy Tote is exceptionally lightweight, weighing only 0.3 pounds. This makes it easy to fold or stow away when not in use without adding unnecessary bulk to your daily carry.
