Being a Costco fan, it's sad to see big brands are making Costco specific low quality stuff. Specially the clothes. Many items are losing their shape and quality in a few washes. All said, we can't just go by brand name and get it from Costco.
Wondering why the negatives on this? I just got mine delivered and for $20 it seems decent. Haven't actually used it yet, but the quality is ok, it's lightweight, and feels comfortable. It should work to keep a few beverages cold and carry some snacks and clothes or towels... And $20 seems like a decent price.

They're not making Costco specific low quality stuff, the quality of these brands just wasn't all that to begin with. Just look at some of the stuff that the outdoor companies make and look at their reviews on their own sites, they've been declining for some time.
It's the analog to shrinkflation in food items - companies are making stuff cheaper because with inflation soaring it's either raise prices or lower costs and consumers are already at the brink.

100% agreed - everything from clothes to electronics and home items - cheaper materials, faster fail rate. Also where they are made - zwilling used to be made in Germany, now most of it is made in China. Clothes that had been made with quality materials in Vietnam are now made with cheaper materials in China. With current prices, tariffs etc, companies have no choice but to go cheaper materials, labor.
