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

Love the padded shoulder strap. Wish there were a pocket or two inside though.

Wanted a LLBean iconic "tote" for so long but defered the cream/color for this version. Title says it all. Kept to a 4 start (vs 5) because it's a bit "stiff" in fabic/feel. But, still love and would recommend

This zip top tore bag is great for carrying those little extras you will want at hand as you run ordinary errands: water bottle, hand lotion, cosmetics , phone, car fob or keys. If it had interior pockets I would have given it five stars. However it's easy to obtain a couple of small zippered pouches to remedy this one lack. Well constructed of durable material with a removeable, comfortable shoulder strap. Still a very good choice at a reasonable price.

Bag is awesome!! If you're willing to wait a few months for it.

This bag would be great if it had an outside pocket and/or an inside pocket for keys etc. Sorry I will probably be returning it.

It's a nice heavy duty bag. The only problem I had is the zipper, it's a little hard to get it started when closing but I'm hoping that will loosen up with time.

Great bag for every day carry. I have several of the Mossy Oak Duck Blind pattern in XL, Lg, and Med that I use for personal car travel and hunting outings. I had bought several hundred at one time for safety awards and customer gifts for my company - buy enough and even the customer gets a few! The new brown is more "civil'. Needs some sort of interior pocket or at least an interior d-ring to clip keys, thus the 4 star rating. I end up using a small tech gear bag to keep small important stuff from becoming adrift. May order next size up for gifts to family.

Sturdy fabric and perfect size. Took as one of two carryon pieces for recent flight. Loved the shoulder strap. Wish it had internal zipped pocket for important small items such as cell phone, wallet, passport. I actually sewed such a pouch in before my trip. An outside pouch to hold newspaper, map, book would have also been nice.

It is very well made, but, sizing is off. A medium is very small while the large is very large. A tote size is needed between the current medium and large. I ordered both sizes, I cannot imagine how big the XLarge would be.

This bag is GREAT! The only thing missing is a small zipper pouch on the inside. It's a struggle finding my keys!

Nice bag but seems a little flimsy. I would have hoped the construction would have been a little more robust.

Overall fairly satisfied. I was surprised that the rubber-backed material was not waterproof. I was carrying some water jugs and one of them leaked. The water soaked through the bottom of the bag. A "Hunter's Tote" should be waterproof to keep water out, or as the case may be, in.

Wish the embroidered name would have been a little bigger but love the bag

This is a well made and is in a perfect size for a overnight flight or afternoon hike

sturdy and well sewn/assembled. Will be field testing within 2 months

The medium is perfect for day-to-day. It fits a change of shoes (I walk to work and carry dress shoes in my bag), a large bottle of water, a sweater, and a smaller purse. My only complaint is that the plastic clips for the shoulder strap seem really cheap. Other than that, the bag is great.

Sturdy, well made and should last a long time. Just wish it was a tad wider.

Great utility bag. Just wish it had an inside (or outside) pocket for a few small items

It would be perfect with a little pocket on the outside for a cell phone.

This was a gift to my son and his girlfriend as they got a new puppy and this is the traveling bag to pack the puppy stuff in when they take her on the road. They love it.

Love the neutral color and so far it has been very durable. Size is perfect! Just wish it had some interior pockets.

These bags are amazing but I much preferred the old model without the shoulder strap.

The bag is durable, huge and well-made. The only drawback is the clasps and D-ring on the shoulder strap are made of cheap plastic and they function poorly - cumbersome to use. A single external or interior pocket would be a welcome addition, while removal of the LL Bean branding on the strap pad would also be nice.

At 1st I bought an X-Lg, but it was TOO HUGE, so I exchanged it for a Lg, which is GREAT for what I want [back & forth to work, keeps out the weather, plenty of room for shoes, books, etc.]. However, one IDIOSYNCRASY I discovered: when a fair amount of "stuff" is in the bag and the strap is slung over my shoulder, the STRAP CREAKS WITH EVERY STEP, and the sound is a wee bit disconcerting as it is just below my ear! LOL! Oh well, a somewhat distracting oddity. : )

I love these bags and have bought multiples with monogram for all my family members. However I preferred them without the strap! Wish you still had that option.
