Abstract: An example bag may include a first sidewall, a second sidewall, a top wall, and a bottom wall. The bottom wall may include an outer layer, and the bottom wall may be secured to the first sidewall and the second sidewall by wrapping a fabric forming the first sidewall and the second sidewall over sections of the outer layer. The bag may further include a closure and a pair of straps. The first sidewall and the second sidewall may include endcaps having a first layered structure, the first layered structure may include a compression molded outer layer and an additional structural layer formed of a first foam material, and the endcaps may be more rigid than the first sidewall, the second sidewall, and the top wall. The bottom wall may include a second layered structure formed of a second foam material positioned on the outer layer, and the bottom wall may be more rigid than the first sidewall, the second sidewall, and the top wall.
