I've had a few of these changing mats over the years, and this is easily the best one I've owned. It's large without being bulky and has quality construction. My favorite feature that I haven't seen on other mats is the side handles. Other mats have the over-the-shoulder strap (which I've never used), but these handles are super convenient. Solid product.
I just recently completed conducting two Ocean Rescue Lifeguard In-Service training programs, an Ocean Rescue practice session for Firefighters, a 4-day International Water Rescue Instructor Academy for First Responders, and a 2-day Water/Surf/Swiftwater Rescue Technician course during which time I used the Banana Bag to don and doff my wetsuit or drysuit, neoprene socks, and water rescue boots. The product was excellent for this purpose and kept the sand and grass off my PPE and allowed me to then encapsulate my PPE for transfer and cleaning.
Pretty good product. Definitely makes it easier changing in and out of your wetsuit and keeps things cleaner in your vehicle. The only thing I would like to see improve is the draw strings. If you pull them closed and chuck the bag in your car the draw strings can get tangled. It took a little time to untangled them but would still recommend the product.
Thanks Roosevelt! Glad to hear your stoked with the changing mat!
I totally hear you on the draw strings and am actually working on this for my next batch at the moment.
Shoot me an email at info@surfbanana.com and I'll let you know when it's ready and will hook you up!
Thanks again!

It works well it helps keep the sand and dirt off my wetsuit, the only problem is I gotta clean my feet and wetsuit boots before before stepping foot in the bag to take off the wetsuit, a sand brush that’s wetsuit safe would be handy to use in conjunction with the bag
Thanks C.C! Glad to hear your stoked with the changing mat!
Wetsuit brush is actually a great idea. I'll get working on this and will send you a free one to try out!
Thanks again,

Super high quality changing mat!!I got one from amazon a few months before, and the handle broke almost instantly. The banana bag is definitely worth the investment. the fabric is super hardy & easy to rinse off/clean after a sesh. happy to have found an absolutely essential for wetsuit season🤌🤌
Thanks Sophia! Glad to hear your stoked with the changing mat!
