Kindfolk Yoga Mat Backpack Crossbody Style One Strap (Parade)

So cute! It does take a little work to get my yoga mat in the side pouch.

I bought this for outdoor fitness classes to which I have to carry weights, a mat, towels and my personal items with me to every class.This is a really cute bag and it appears to be very well made so I believe it will hold up for a long time. I am able to carry weights in it without feeling like it's going to pull apart in any way plus the strap is wide and comfortable. It has clips on the pulls that allow you to attach keys directly to the bag.There are a few issues that really drop it to 3 stars ratings wise for me but the overall quality and appearance made me give it 4 anyway.The mesh side pockets are both way to small to hold a mat of medium thickness so mine won't fit at all. I have to tighten the straps extra tight to hold my mat on without using the mesh pocket and that causes strap indentions on my mat that cost more than the bag.The zippers are hard to access when the mat is attached.The pockets also zip up instead of down so you have to unzip them completely to get anything from inside which makes much of the storage space wasted.The strap is wide and secure but the angle makes it awkward to carry on the opposite side of your body.I will continue using it for now but I will likely replace it once I find one a little more practical for every day use.

Costs just as much to return it. Waste.Extremely misleading.My mat is a Manduka Eko (26”) and this bag does not support it well. It’s standing because my mat is standing. The bag just makes everything heavy.It’s extremely disproportionate. The straps that hold the mat barely get to the midpoint, making the mat top heavy.It hangs uncomfortably on the body. You can’t fit more than 1 block in the bag.Right now I have a pair of shoes and a small T-shirt.The zipper closes downward so it’s impossible to close if your items are wide on top. Which is why you can only carry 1 block.The bag is pretty much useless for my purposes and for my mat. Sadly it’s more of a hassle to return it. So for now I’ll try to forget how much I hate it and wait another year before I look for another bag.Back to my trusty strap carrier!

Too small to fit 2 blocks and a towel. The zipper split before I even got to up anything in it. Returning item.Positive side, it's a cute bag, cute print. Its nylon so it would be an easy wipe off. Great if you only have a mat and a towel. Can hold smaller items such as a wallet and keys.

Looks just like the picture but within a week I noticed a fairly large whole between the pockets.

I use this all the time when I travel with my yoga mat. I have gotten so many compliments on it!It does only fit standard size yoga mats. Some of my thicker mats do not fit in it.

I absolutely love the elephant pattern on my yoga backpack. I teach yoga in schools, so I needed something to lug my mat and the supplies I will use to the classrooms. It does the job, and is really cute, but it is a bit hard to carry. I can't seem to master the cross-body method of carrying this bag. I end up just slinging it over my shoulder. It's a little awkward looking, but it does the job! It's so cute that I keep using it anyway!

This bag has a lot more space in the pockets that I thought that it would. LOVE this bag!
