PASMAN Sandproof Beach Tote

Twenty-six litres, tightly woven, and built around the assumption that everything goes back in the car damp. Six mesh side pockets take the wet things and shake sand out on the walk up the path, while the zip across the top keeps the rest of it out.

Four towels fit, or two towels and everything two people need for the afternoon. It dries quickly, folds down for a suitcase, and resists the two things that finish a beach bag: a torn seam and a stain that will not leave. Six colourways, from a green leaf print and a pink and orange stripe to a plain khaki and a light blue.
