Customer Reviews L.L.Bean Zip Hunter's Tote Bag with Strap Large

I really think this bag is fantastic. The inside is a water proof material that's really easy to wipe clean--outside too. I got the small size, and it's a really perfect size for every day use. I use it for work, have taken it to the beach, it's good for a day out with the kids--it's really taken a lot of wear and looks completely new. It feels comfortable on your shoulder with the shoulder pad, the handles are super functional...all in all it's a great bag.

I got crafty & used 2 of these as my only bags for a multi-day, 350 mile bike tour. Was worried considering since these are a fraction of the price of bike specific bags, but they more than proved up to the task. Was hit with multiple downpours & all my stuff stayed completely dry. Bags are super lightweight. Tough to a level I expect for bags 2x as much. Can't say enough good things about these bags, useful for every adventure!

I purchased this as a gift for my Mom & when it came, I loved it so much that I ordered myself one. I use this daily as my dog's "go bag" for our walks & hikes. Plenty of room for all his necessities as well as mine. The shoulder strap & zipper closure are awesome features.

I want this in black!

I have the XL and L bags with zippers. Use them for dog training and bird hunting items. Each hold a ton of items. Very strong and water repellent. They are the best.

Over several years I have purchased at least 10 or more of these bags in various sizes. They are the most durable ever. My husband and I use them as "suitcases" for travel, as gear bags for hunting, as beach bags, and many other uses too numerous to mention. They are roomy with secure heavy duty zippers. I still have the first ones I purchased years ago (monogrammed by the way) and they show absolutely no wear. Excellent investment! They also make a great gift.

My wife loves this bag. she uses this bag as a pocketbook. She loves the waterproofing.

I ordered this rugged tote for my husband for Christmas and was surprised and impressed with the quality. However, it did appear quite a bit larger than the dimensions listed on the LL Bean website. As a result, my husband decided it wasn't exactly right for his specific purpose. I highly recommend it, though I had to return it.

I purchased this bag for my daughter who uses it primarily to transport her dog parafinalia when she visits with them. I have a different size, and believed it would fit her needs; it does. I have, obviously been very pleased with my bag.

My daughter uses this bag daily for work to hold lunch as well as any items that would be found in a purse. She loves it. It is well made and can withstand any abuse that comes with daily use.

This is the best bag of all time, and I rarely travel without it. PLEASE LL Bean - bring back the black option. I have no use for olive drab, and plain black seems to be more universal and goes with everything. I would love to buy more! I have the medium and it fits over the handle of a suitcase which is extremely convenient, and it's lightweight while being extremely sturdy. The zipper keeps things very secure but there's easy access to the contents.

this bag is amazing! love it! it needs to come in other colors though! have you considered a solid navy blue, black, or red?? I want to buy more as gifts, but not everyone wants the olive color or camo.

Great bag! Bought many as gifts for the men in my life and now I want one for myself. I don't want camouflage or hunter green. I had the black bags monogrammed- very handsome. Please bring back the black option!

The bag is exactly as described. Good quality material, good size. It would be perfect if it had an outside pocket for a water bottle - just a suggestion, I knew it didn't have one when I ordered it. Again, it was what I expected. I always appreciate that LL Bean describes products correctly and the quality is always good.

honestly I bought this bag to store a lot of my dog's apparel, toys, dishes, etc so that it would be easy for me to just grab the bag when we're heading out the door for a day or two.

More than enough space for intended uses from hauling dirty biking gear to carrying DJ stuff. Have a smaller one that's just as useful, but the shoulder strap is a nice addition.

gave as gifts to my family in lieu of Christmas stockings... it was a BIG HIT!! adults got these and kids got small canvas bags in red or green... so fun and very useful. They all agreed to bring them every Christmas for Santa to fill :)

Nicely done. Nifty bag

So this is my 4th L.L. Bean tote in a matter of a few months! I am officially an addict & will be ordering another for myself & my daughter this holiday season. The bag is sturdy, roomy, durable & I love to monogram either my initials or name on it. Gives it a great personal feel & I know that no one else will have my exact bag! Thank you L.L. Bean for making such a great bag in different colors & sizes to choose from!

sits on floor upright - nice size and weight -not too large but holds a lot -use it to commute - sturdy good zipper

I bought this as tote bag for wet dirty fishing waders to put in the back of my SUV. The bag is actually excellent and would serve a lot of purposes really well. I just decided when I got it that a hard plastic bin would be a better option to putting my dirty waders in instead of this which I would have to clean to use it for other purposes and then it would be a bit of a pain to clean. However, the construction of the bag is excellent and up to Bean standards. I did return it but would buy it back if I could find another purpose for it. The XL is definitely large enough to hold a large set of bootfit waders. I would opt for the medium first. I did notice the noisy hardware on it as others mentioned but it didn't bother me. Nice color too. Would make a great beach or picnic bag and also make a handsome gift for any outdoorsman.

I use this bag for work. It holds my lunch, a sweater, various trinkets and my purse. So instead of bringing 4 different bags they all fit into this one. The squeak.... I read all about this squeak and I decided to buy despite the annoying noise everyone was mentioning. Mine squeaked the very first day I bought it (I felt there was a I told you so from the other reviewers). I oiled/greased to no avail. One day I simply switched the clasp to clipping in from the other direction and it hasn't squeaked since. Literally that's all I did. Hopefully this simple fix will help the others. I completely recommend this bag. Super sturdy and big enough for the kitchen sink.

Just the right size. Well made. Did not purchase to use for hunting.

Had to return the Extra-Large bags as they were way too big for my use. I replaced them with 2 large size bags and they are prefect. I've had and used continuously 3 canvas bags for over 40 years and they finally started to fall apart so i was happy that LL Bean is still there and could supply me with new ones. These are exactly what I needed and would always be happy to recommend anyone to this outstanding supplier.

This is a major upgrade for transporting books and things. If your even slightly uncomfortable with backpacks this is the best alternative.
