2 Bags We Love
Two travel bags worth packing this summer, from a waxed cotton weekender to a dry tote that keeps your phone safe near water.

Summer is the time for traveling. Whether it’s a day at the beach, a weekend away or an extended vacation, finding the right bag to pack for your trip can prove difficult. Here are two of our favorites on the market today.
Horse Thief Fly Fishing Tote
By Fishpond USA
MSRP - $89.95

This waxed cotton tote by Fishpond makes the perfect overnight bag. True to the Fishpond standard, the interior lining is made from 100% recycled water bottles. It has a water-resistant main zipper and the molded bottom makes the bag stand up perfectly on its own without falling over. We love the Earth color of this bag. It simply goes with everything!
Largo Tote
By Watershed
MSRP - $129.00

Dry bags are a must if you’re going anywhere near the water. Nothing ruins a day like soaking your phone or your keys. The Largo Tote by Watershed is our favorite dry bag. Available in a variety of colors, we love this bag because it’s stylish and doesn’t look like a utilitarian dry bag and yet is big enough to fit all of the items we bring with us on the boat.
