The front of the clothes check bag includes two full size pockets created by a webbed fabric strip sewn down the center. The clothes bag is secured by an additional webbed strip with a plastic clamp that loops across the top. The clothes bag measures 18”W x 20”L x 6”H. The clothes check bag also has two clear vinyl pockets, one is 4” x 6” and sewn to the top front panel with the additional 4” x 5” pocket sewn into the top side panel.
