VENO Backpack Alternative Recycled Windowpane Reviews Summary

Durability

Pros:

• "They are sturdy and easy to carry (the movers were excited as they could carry multiple at the same time)."
• "They are very sturdy. I use them for linen storage for all our winter blankets in the summer."
• "While I could barely lift it from the weight, it held up beautifully. No ripping at the seams or tearing anywhere."
• "They are really strong."
• "The bags are very sturdy and made from a strong material."
• "They feel really sturdy and can hold the weight without feeling as if the handles are gunna rip off."
• "They are very tough and do not rip even when stuffed."

Cons:

• "Bought these in 2021. Used them for a move that year and again in 2022, and brought them out for another move this year 2024, the stitching is now undone."
• "However my son packed one of them with clothes the first use and picked it up and the seam attaching the zipper to the bag ripped out!"
• "I got the bags and they were used. Had dirt, pieces of paper and HAIR in some of the bags."
• "The only thing is some did tear at the seams but it was maybe two out of the whole package and it wasn't too big of a hole where we couldn't still use it."
• "Since my initial move four months ago, I have been using the bags for laundry and found them all busting at the seams and zippers one by one."
• "The material itself mimics something similar to rip-stop tarp. But it will rip."
• "Unfortunately two bags were ripped at the seams so badly they were unusable."

Carrying Convenience

Pros:

• "The shoulder straps made carrying a breeze."
• "The fact that you can wear them as a backpack, not only frees up your hands so that you can carry more stuff but also allows for line of sight when walking."
• "I like the straps at the back. It makes it easier to carry more than one at a time."
• "The backpack straps and strong handles make them easy to carry, even when fully loaded."
• "They're easy to load up, the zipper is solid and had no problem closing or holding."
• "They hold so much and make it so easy to carry by throwing it right over your shoulder."
• "The straps that you can wear like a backpack were a lifesaver."

Cons:

• "A couple of times I forgot and carried them by the handle which is more challenging."
• "The only problem is if you fill them up and fill them up with heavy items it's really hard to move them you kind of need to have someone with a lot of strength to move them."
• "I didn't like that the bottom didn't have a flat slat because when you pick it up it doesn't maintain its shape and everything jumbles together in one spot."
• "Only good for clothing and should be full, otherwise it's a bit difficult to handle."
• "I think these would be perfect for most people. However, I have arthritis and even though I packed lightly, I could not lift them."
• "It would be 5 stars if you could fill them completely and still use the 'backpack' straps."
• "You can carry 3 at a time, with one in each hand and one on your back."

Storage and Space

Pros:

• "So easy to label, great visibility for storage, and so easy to move with."
• "These bags take a lot less space than the plastic totes I was using before and hold about the same amount."
• "They hold quite a bit of items, including garlands, swags, my window wreaths, and ornaments."
• "They can hold so much weight and be packed till the seam is pushing out and still not rip."
• "They fold flat when not in use, saving valuable storage space."

Cons:

• "I just like that they're small or medium they're not extra large as advertised."
• "These bags were a bit smaller than I had anticipated, but they held up perfectly to the travel."
• "However it is not water resistant or waterproof."
• "Note - they are not listed as water proof or even resistant, and they will let water through the zipper, so plan accordingly if used in the back of a pickup."
• "Little did we know water had gotten inside each bag."
• "I really wish the material was more thicker and durable."
• "The bags did not hold up. Zippers broke first zip up, seams came undone."

• "Since my initial move four months ago, I have been using the bags for laundry and found them all busting at the seams and zippers one by one."
• "The material itself mimics something similar to rip-stop tarp. But it will rip."
• "Unfortunately two bags were ripped at the seams so badly they were unusable."
