Got these bags for a week long trip to Walt Disney World. In general, I've been happy with what I received. The are well constructed and did not require much in the way of modification for week-long use. I have a few comments that may help address some questions, as well as some suggestions for minor, at home, modifications to improve the usable lifespan of these bags.
Compared to other light-weight, polyester, drawstring, sport (swag) bags that a person gets at a conference, these bags would probably be considered medium-weight, not heavyweight. The body of the bag is constructed from a treated medium-weight nylon duck canvas, whereas the top of the bag is a light-weight synthetic, likely polyester. The front of the bag has been screen printed with solid and outlined gold and silver Mickey Mouse heads (like hidden Mickeys). The upper right corner has gold or silver "Mickey Mouse" written at a diagonal over a line of solid gold or silver Mickeys.
The 14.5" (37cm) x 10.5" (27cm) bag is constructed from a single sheet of black nylon duck, screen printed on one side and plain on back. It is folded over at the base (no seam) and sewn up the right and left hand sides with a straight stitch. One 1 3/4" (4.5cm) tab is at the base of each side. These tabs are used to hold a pair of knotted #550 black paracord strings that are used to cinch the bag together at the top. The interior seams are not serged, rather there is a single seam of black thread over a synthetic (plastic) seam cover, likely to reduce fraying of the duck.
The top of the bag is constructed from what appears to be medium weight polyester lining. Seam quality is fair, though I would not say reinforced. If anything, the top section of the bag is likely the weakest point of the bag and most susceptible to tearing. That said, if the manufacturer only used the duck canvas, it would be difficult to open and close the bag comfortably. If you plan to use this bag for more than a week, I would suggest reinforcing the interior seams with either a serger or a simple straight or zigzag stitch.
The bags also appear to be water resistant. I stuck one under a flowing bathroom sink for about 10 seconds and it repelled the water pretty well. I simply wiped it down with a towel and the outside and interior were still dry. If set in a puddle or exposed to rain for longer than a few minutes, it likely will absorb water, though. I would NOT say that these bags are waterproof, rather "water resistant" over short periods. They would do just fine for a few minutes outside in one of WDWs summer rainstorms while you get to shelter and would keep most of your stuff reasonably dry. Don't plan to swim with it at Typhoon Lagoon or Blizzard Beach, though. It will still absorb water during longer exposure or if the interior gets wet and, as they have some water resistant capability, the bag on the back of a small child underwater could pose a safety hazard if it was submerged and filled with water (the water will not quickly drain out).
The strings used to cinch the bag closed at the top are black #550 paracord. With the bag open, the openings for the arms are about 20.5" (52cm). With the bag cinched closed, the arm openings are 31.5" (80cm) to the top of the tab. I would highly recommend adding a second knot or, if you're crafty and planning to reinforce the seams, tack down the paracord with a sewing machine at the top and bottom of the tags so that the paracord knot does not untie and slip through (a common problem with these types of sport bags). Though easily repairable, constant repairs to the knot could become annoying while at the parks toting around your goodies.
The bags do have a synthetic, screen-printed scent to them when delivered. I remedied that situation by throwing them into the dryer with a damp tea towel and scented dryer sheet on medium heat for about 10 minutes (and it softened the stiffness of the bag a bit).
Overall, I really liked these bags. They are durable, well-crafted for a short visit to the parks, and large enough to carry a liter or two small bottles of water, some snacks, ID, small Disney collectibles, and a few medical supplies. Be aware, they're BLACK. The color black absorbs light and heat, so these will increase the temperature of your back and could spoil medications or other temperature sensitive items inside the bag (e.g., electronics such as glucometers, cell phones, battery chargers, etc).
