Does the bag really have a bad smell?? One review stated it smelled like a dead fish. I'm concerned that it will smell.

It didn't smell at all. It smelled new but not that strong but then later the smell went away.

Well then I got lucky. Because mine did not smell at all. It was worth the $5!!! :)

My best guess is that something in the bag was a little bit damp when you packed it. It doesn't take much water to create mildew when a package is sealed up for a long period of time. I think that if you could really get all of the air out of the bag, you wouldn't have the musty mildew odor. But it isn't really possible to get ALL of the air out of the bag, so there you have it.

Mine does smell a little bit fishy but it's not a very strong smell. I do not chew mine up but swallow them whole.

I did not notice a smell when I put my curtain up. I did not wash it or anything. It maybe from the plastic bag the curtain came in.

Well，I think it does has smell because I was shocked by it at first. It is a problem that I didn't mention before. But the smell may be not that strong.

it is just a pale yellow and a very mild even after letting it sit. I do not taste any grassiness to it and not much smell. I really like it, my friend not so much. I have the bag and never had any leaf floating. I do not like any thing mixed with it but some flavor it. hope this helps some

Other reviews talked of a "strange odor". My bag (that I like very much) had no such odor.

Wash it off and it should hold up fine. Keep in mind that this is a medium size bag. Great for fishing trips when you don't need tons of tackle!

I don't use the lid on mine but I would think that it would contain mild odors fairly well with the lid. If I have something particularly stinky like wrapping from fish I put it in a separate plastic bag and wrap it up or get rid of the trash bag quickly. I do like this item.

I got this and didn't notice a smell. It's a great bag but a little larger than I wanted but that's good if you want to pack more lenses and small tripod.

The diaper smell is horrible in itself. It's why you have to make sure you close the bin all the way. Regardless, every time you take the bag out, some smell is still going to seep out when you throw it out. It's not a panacea to diaper smell. it's only better than a lot of diaper bins out there.

The main body of the bag is vinyl but it does have an overwhelming odor. The smell does dissipate but I'm not sure how long it takes. A few weeks I suppose.I'm on my second one and haven't had any kind of allergic reaction but I can see where someone would.

Not really a fishy smell but you have to be right on top of it to smell it I have a keen sense of smell and don't recommend getting that close to it only put a few of these out of the time for they will take them and hidethem good luck!

It sounds like you have a problem, either with the particular bag having been exposed to something foul, or your idea of what fine leather should smell like. After living with mine for a couple of months now, I am happy with every aspect: Appearance, smell and product utility. Very well made, luxurious bag.

I remember mine being a bit odd smelling, but I don't remember fish! I sort of remember a card inside saying to air it out when you get it, but can't remember for sure. Maybe check on www.polarbearcoolers.com or contact them at leslie@polarbearcoolers.com or 1-888-438-7924. Good luck!!
