Cotopaxi  Arenilla Mesh Del Dia Tote

Pros: I really like the bags colors, ability to hold my phone while shopping, and its ability to compress and pack into the internal pocket. Cons: the length of the handles are just a bit too long. I'm 6'0 and the bag nearly touches the ground when carrying the bag empty by the handles. I think 1.5-2 inches off the length would have been perfect so that the bag doesn't drag on the ground under a full grocery load. That said, it works well as a shoulder bag, but I don't roll with it like that. Buyers should also know that the bag material is soft and just like the pro-mesh materials currently used in most breathable hats (e.g., look at the patagonia duckbill hat backpanel material for refence). This material adds to the malibility of the mesh and makes it nice and soft to the touch. However, this material is also weaker and less durable than other mesh options that are thicker and more abrasion resistant. All mesh is susceptible to snags, so you may want to consoder that fsctor too. Overall, I like the bag and think its a great buy foe the price, especially if your a tall person lol.

I use it as a beach bag and farmers market bag :) it’s a compact and handles are pretty stiff so doesn’t fall over from my shoulders! Love it!

The bag is mesh like material and larger than expected. The bag can be packed into itself and the pouch turns into an inside pouch of the bag. There are two mesh side pouches that can hold a thin water bottle (depending on weight distribution). This is perfect for the beach, farmers market, etc. Not fit for anything too pokey or sharp.

In love with my Arenilla Mesh Tote! Love everything they make actually, but this one was definitely an original I hadn’t seen before and perfect for the beach.

Was super excited to happen upon this mesh tote while putting together an elaborate birthday gift for a marine foraging enthusiast in the PNW. Hadn't seen this bag before, so was really excited to find it and how well this compared to the BOGGS or Scuba Dive/Hunting optimized bags. Not only is the price better than those alternatives, it's a Del Dia, so we got to hunt around for an ideal color combo. And it being packable makes it so great for bringing along on longer trips.

These bags are so handy! We’ve used them for groceries and also the beach!

Unfortunately i will only be giving it a 3. Shoulder straps are really uncomfortable with just some items and a waterbottle that was not full. I wish the bag it came with (where you can fold it in) would be a usable pocket. & i also got no sticker. Saw everyone getting one with their orders.

I love this thing, I get so many compliments. It’s perfect for light grocery shopping or a visit to the farmers market. I recently brought it on a trip to Oviedo, Spain, and it was perfect for the local markets and picking up some souvenirs. Easily holds everything you would need for a good Spanish charcuterie board.

Finally replacing a very old beach bag with this Cotopaxi wonder…the external pockets are very well done and I won’t have to worry about carting wet stuff back and forth at the beach since this tote is mesh—

Love that you get a random color combo, and will do great outdoors to filter out sand/dirt.
