User Ratings and Reviews

4 Stars Unique, sturdy and spacious
Overall a quality bag at an affordable price. Unique design and color ( I bought the orange one). Like nothing I’ve seen in countless yoga classes I’ve attended. 4 stars would be 5 stars on my rating if it had an adjustable shoulder strap which would make it just perfect. Ample room for 1/4″ mats, small towel, keys, water bottle, ipod, etc. Nice job, Gaiam!

5 Stars Gaiam fashion Yoga bag
This bag is fantastic. It is sturdy and convenient. As a teacher the bag enables me to transport my mat, music, water, business cards to class with me right on my back! Love it and highly recommend it!

4 Stars Great yoga bag.
I love this yoga bag. I searched for sometime before deciding on this one. The other reviews really convinced me to get it. I got the russet one. I have a thicker yoga mat and I do need to roll it up tightly but it fits fine. The strap not being adjustable is not a problem for me. I love all the pockets, I am able to take everything with me I need. I have received compliments on it and people want to know where I got my cute bag.

5 Stars Fantastic Bag!
I have had a few different mat bags over the years but this is by far my favorite. I love the 3 outside pockets (2 small & 1 big) and that the zipper runs the entire length of the bag. I have a Jade mat which is fairly thick; it fits in the bag just fine. The strap is a good length - works over the shoulder but also slings nicely across my body.

4 Stars Good value
This is a convenient way to tote around one’s yoga mat, especially when it gets yucky at the Bikram studio. Has small pockets for keys, money, cell phone. Only complaint is that it loves lint and calls for all lint within a 50 mile radius to cling to it. But with a lot of scotch tape, I can handle it.

Gaiam Walkvest Kit by Debbie Rocker New Design




Gaiam brings the absolue latest in programming and accessories for walking, weight-loss and “smart” training. The innovative new Walkvest is unlike anything on the market, and will help you burn more fat and calories than standard walking workouts.

User Ratings and Reviews

5 Stars Just what my daughter wanted.
I purchased the vest as a gift for my adult daughter in Oct. 2008. She loves it and uses it almost daily, either walking outdoors or using the video. She’s about a size 8 or 10 and is tall, so the size small fits her perfectly. The vest appears well made, and she’s very happy with it.

5 Stars Walking vest a real winner
On a Crystal Cruise I used this vest for the first time last month and really liked how much easier it was to have small weights around the core or your body than in your hands. The ships staff told me what to look for on line and in no time, once back home, I was using it to walk on land instead of walking on water. It is comfortable, adjustable for number of weights used and a real pleasure. You can even wear it for doing errands to burn extra calories. I would reccommned this walking vest very highly. Wishes for Wonderful Walking!

4 Stars Walkvest
I bought the vest based on an article in our newspaper. I wear it when I go walking and I think it does perform as advertised. My only problem with the vest is that the pockets for the weights are not deep enough and I can’t snap them closed. This means that I have to be very careful when I bend over to pick something up or to tie my shoes.

5 Stars comfortable and decent looking
i work from my home and don’t get a lot of time to exercise, so I wear this daily. I feel the difference as I do chores around the house, etc. My 11 year old also wears it when she goes walking and doesn’t mind it. the small fits perfect..just snug enough….(I’m a size 8/10 with a 32A bust) it would probably fit a few sizes bigger just fine because i have it closed as tight as you can get it. There is more play in the straps to loosen.

4 Stars Loved this christmas gift
I got this as a gift from my husband and adult daughter (difinitely one of their better choices). It fits true to size and comfortable with a couple of thin shirts on. I’m 5ft 5 and have the size medium; I have no problem with the weigths rubbing me as others have noted in these reviews. I just wish it came with alittle more weights. I’ll wait before ordering any more weights since shipping makes it alittle costly. I’m happy with this gift for sure.

5 Stars Excellent
Wonderful product. Exactly what I needed and wanted. I think it is better than other similar products. The one-handed use function is superb!

5 Stars I don’t golf but…
I don’t golf, but I still find this quite useful. The expected Victorinox quality and functionality without the clunkiness of a standard Swiss Army knife.

5 Stars Great gift
I gave this item as a gift to a golfer. He liked it very much.

5 Stars Free golf balls!
Bought this as a gift for my brother-n-law who loves golf. Make sure you get the one with the free golf balls (Amazon exclusive). It’s the same price! Victorinox Swiss Army Golf Tool With Callaway Golf Balls (Amazon Exclusive)

5 Stars Great Tool
it is a great tool for golfing. It combines everything you need in one tool that fits easily in your pocket. It is also nice that the divot tool is retractable and because of this does not punch holes in the stitching of your pockets. Very good weight and feels sturdy.

The included bag for it clips on your bag for normal storage and is also a nice feature.

Victorinox Zip Around Wallet

Victorinox Zip Around Wallet




This lightweight travel wallets as a secure, zip-around closure, providing extra security for your valuables.

User Ratings and Reviews

5 Stars Worth every penny
At this date, I’ve owned it for well over a year now and I can say that it’s worth it.

Some other reviews say it’s small or lacks space, that’s half true.

1. Yes, it has 3 slots for cards but on the other side you have a mesh for your ID (also includes an ID holder for that area [which is pretty awesome]) and two pockets for cards you don’t really use daily or other stuff like business cards or even a fishing license. Which both have plenty of room for cards.

2. Currency space, while I haven’t been out of the US in the last year I can’t say anything about other countries but for US currency, it’s perfectly fine space if you put your bills in properly.

Wear and tear so far has been very minimal considering daily use. I thought for sure the zipper was going to be the Achilles’ heel but it’s been working without trouble for me. I do keep it maintained so I’m sure that helped as well.

The zip around keeps everything in place and you don’t have the random card falling out in your pocket sometimes. That really is a nice touch.

It’s also quite light and thin which is a bonus. Makes sitting on it nice or throwing it a different pocket for safe keeping.

3 Stars NOT for the global traveler!
Great wallet in many ways - secure and durable. But the description says it can hold almost all size currencies and is great for the global traveler which is absolutely not the case. As a USA only wallet it gets 5 stars, but for global travel only 1 star.

2 Stars Too small…
Nice wallet…but who are they kidding? The bill compartment is even too small for US dollars. The zipper would cut into the bills every time I wanted to close the wallet.

5 Stars VICTORINOX
VICTORINOX IS THE BEST IN LUGGAGE AND TRAVEL ACCESORIES. IF YOU’RE REALLY MESSY AND WANNA TIDY UP, THIS IS WAHT YOU NEED, CONFORTABLE, GREAT AND CLASSIC. BESIDES BLACK GOES WITH EVERYTHING.

2 Stars Small, small, small
Wallet is small. Even my currency barely cleared the zipper. And what’s the deal with no change pockets in wallets these days? If you’re looking for an ultra slim wallet to carry just a few things this’ll probably do just fine (and the zipper is a nice touch). But if they’d just add an inch to the height and find room for a velcro or zip change pocket I would be giving this a 5. Instead its heading back in the mail tomorrow.

Kelty K I D S Messenger Diaper Bag

Kelty K I D S Messenger Diaper Bag




Sling the Kelty Messenger Diaper Bag over your shoulder, carry it like a backpack, or clip it to your strollerthe Messenger Diaper Bag is super versatile. This handy bag has plenty of pockets to organize and separate your baby’s supplies.

User Ratings and Reviews

5 Stars Diaper Bag
This bag has served my wife the longest of all her diaper bags. She finds this to be the most useful of all the bags she has used. The design is simple, light, and does not have wasteful functions.

4 Stars Excellent (as in, close to perfect but not quite) Diaper Bag
This bag is an excellent middle-sized diaper bag.

The size (not mentioned above) is roughly 13″ tall by 13″ wide by about 5″ deep. It’s about twice as large as a smaller sized purse, about 2/3 the size of a laptop sized tote.

Pros:

- medium size works well for everyday use.

- front compartment is great for purse-type items while main compartment great for baby gear, thus getting rid of the need to carry two bags.

- many pockets of varying sizes makes it easy to organize things.

- flap top opening makes it easy to get into things one-handed

- well made with solid zippers, good cloth, sturdy seams, etc.

- one pocket in the main compartment is right up near the top and light-colored inside - perfect for items you often need right away and don’t want to dig for.

- messenger strap/backpack straps both comfy - the versatility is very helpful, especially if parents prefer different styles of carrying the bag.

- plain black and gray color is good for those who don’t like froufy and/or babyish diaper bags

- decent price for a good product.

Cons:

- plain black and gray is well…plain. kind of a boring-looking bag, truthfully.

- changing pad is not that great. does not fold flat once you put anything in the attached pouch. it takes up room in main compartment - i packed it into the backpack strap pouch on the back. it has no velcro on it and just sort of flops open. also, it’s not very big. oh well, i didn’t buy the bag for the changing pad.

- front flap is one giant pocket, but the opening to that pocket is a 4″ size zip pocket on the left side. this means either you stuff something big into that pocket through a small opening (like a blanket) OR you put small things into the giant pocket and they rattle around (like my keys). it would have made more sense for the whole pocket to zip open at the top OR to have divided up that space into multiple small pockets.

-while parts of the interior are light colored, most of the interior is black, which makes it harder to see things.

Overall, good product, far better than most diaper bags I’ve seen (and I’ve looked around a lot). Just a few tweaks would have made it pitch perfect for me.
