This 2-pack of Handy Laundry bags utilizes a nylon weave ranging from 70D to 110D, offering a high tensile strength-to-weight ratio. Nylon is naturally hydrophobic, meaning it resists moisture absorption and helps prevent mildew when used to store damp towels. The bags are highly collapsible, folding down to less than 2% of their expanded size, which makes them convenient for storage in drawers or suitcases when they are not being used.
Specifications indicate the closure system consists of a polypropylene drawstring with a spring-loaded plastic lock. Tests show that while the bags have a large capacity, they perform most reliably when filled to about two-thirds of their volume, especially during transit. Dragging these bags across rough floors like tile or concrete should be avoided, as the friction can lead to fiber thinning. The tight weave of the nylon also provides some rip-stop potential, helping to contain small snags.
Features include a semi-solid material that provides more privacy for contents than mesh alternatives, though this can also mean odors are more easily trapped if soiled athletic gear is left inside for long periods.
For those who prefer a mesh construction for maximum airflow, the Yethan 6-Pack may be a more suitable choice.
Nylon options provide a durable and moisture-resistant alternative for those exploring the canvas laundry hamper bag market.
