Thsee look really nice.
I understand the bags are lined with Cordura. That’s all of them, not just the leather bag, correct?
I’m very curious how these perform in moist, humid, wet conditions. I’m particularly concerned about trapped moisture and the possibility of mildew.
All the dopp bags I’ve owned previously were made out of nylon. They would get wet, but they soaked in the water, shunted it to the outer surface, and dried out quite rapidly, even when closed.
If the inside of these bags get wet, would they easily dry out when closed? Or would one specifically have to open them up and wait for them to air out?
In a situation where one is traveling quickly and needs to throw a damp toothbrush into the bag, as well as bottles and containers that are not fully dry due to condensation from hot showers, or standing water on the sink top, etc, how would these bags fare?
When all this moisture is rapidly packed into the bag and closed up in order to catch the next flight, for example, a nylon bag would soak up the moisture, but just as easily let it evaporate out, being an open weave.
I worry that these bags, with their multiple layers of material, may not evaporate water out rapidly enough, creating an environment where mildew could form.
Please let me know. I think these bags are gorgeous and rich. Quite nice looking.
If they don’t respond well to moisture trapped inside due to the need to pack up quickly and run, or if they need any special care to dry them out, that would be good to know.
Thanks.
K.T.NThanks for the kind words and the thought you've put into this.
All versions (canvas & leather) have the same lining material.
The lining is mold resistant as well as waterproof. In normal use, I don't expect there would ever be an issue. I would clean it out as you would any other dopp kit every now and then. The liner is sewn such that you can pull it out enough from the inside to wipe it down and clean it easily.
