I took my large ShopSack for it's maiden voyage today, and I'm stoked! I have a large wald basket that I got from Riv quite a while ago, and it fits perfect. I don't completely understand the shape yet, but I'm sure the first time I fill it to the very top, I will. (Maybe.)
I've been into having extra space lately, and this thing is just cavernous. Highly recommended from a newbie.
