Customer Reviews L.L.Bean Boat and Tote Medium

We purchased 3 of these wonderful, oversized totes. When we travel by car, instead of using a suitcase, we each use one of the bags as our "suitcase". EVERYTHING fits in it, except shoes/boots. Jackets, shirts, pants, you name it, it's in there. We also use the extra large bag to stuff our pillows in so we do not use hotel/motel pillows, but our own. For overnight stops, we just grab our regular totes, our "pillow bag" and we are ready to go! We haven't used a suitcase for our road trips in years! The totes are soooo much handier!

Excellent quality materials hand craftsmanship I would recommend this to anyone

This is an item that is durable, practical, and attractive. I purchased one and now have two to use for my weekly grocery purchases-thus avoiding plastic bags.

Got this as a boot and gear bag.. pretty sturdy/stiff will stand up on its own empty , ,long handles allow me to get them over my shoulder,, holds 4 pair of boots sz 13 and my boot dryer or large neoprene waders and the boot dryer and wader attachments

For a decade or so I have been using the bags to paint on,... they are thick and sturdy and optimal for my use,... no other bag on the market comes close. I am surprised that more people aren't using the bag for this purpose.

Gave to my grandchildren for Christmas for all their sports items. Had them monogrammed. Everyone loved them. Use to buy them for my kids when they were young. They are now 40 and still say they are a great gift.

They've been doing this for a few years: exceptional quality, durability, and strength. You will not be disappointed. Recommend the long straps and monogramming.

Love the color of this sturdy bag. Plan to use it in my new Mustang.

I bought two of these for my grandson to carry his piano and violin music back and forth to lessons. It is astonishing how well-made they are. Both totes have held up extremely well, despite heavy use. The overall material and construction are of superior quality and the monogramming was beautifully done. Considering the exquisite quality and the reasonable price, I consider these totes my best buy of the decade. Wonderful, wonderful product.

I purchased 2 tote mediums that I keep in my vehicle. They are used mostly for grocery shopping to replace the hated plastic bag. The tote will replace 3-4 plastic grocery bags depending upon size of groceries purchased. The totes don't fall over in the car, spilling their contents all over the seat or floor and are easy to carry with their wide canvas handles. They are also a great tote for just about anything when going to yard sales, flea markets, visits to the beach and any other activity requiring you to carry multiple small items. They are almost indestructible as I have several large "boat and totes" that are over 25 years old. These large totes were used to carry 25 pound blocks of ice, spare clothing and beach towels to our sailboat many years ago.

I gave 3 of these as Christmas gifts this year. I have had my own bags for 20years, and use them for to and from the beach and boat all summer long. I have different sizes, and load them to the top. They have not shown any wear in the twenty years,other than fading of the color straps. They are a great product.

The LLB Boat Totes are my favorite! I have all sizes. I use my small one for travel for my ipad, books, etc. My girls loved mine so much I ordered them all one for Christmas. Then filled it with some of my favorite things!

I've purchased two of these bags and couldn't be happier! Would highly recommend for families, baby gear, beach/boat trips even at the grocery store! Very sturdy! Personalization is an added bonus!

Bought this and the small insulated tote as a Christmas gift for a friend. I had both of them personalized for her. The monogramming looks great. This bag was purchased to replace one that she has owned for more than 30 years.. She loves them both. Both bags are Navy trim with red monogramming.

I chose the regular and regret not choosing the long strap. The strap for me is to short to comfortably carry on shoulder. Outside of that...this is agree bag

This was purchased for a friend who vacations with us. She was always amazed my whole trip fit in my tote, so this year she gets her own. These are great bags, and hold up for eons. Keep up the great work!

I have purchased, probably 30 medium Bean Bags for baby gifts over the past 8 years. The gift is always received with excitement when seeing the new baby's name embroidered on this iconic and durable classic tote. It is the Best Baby Gift!

We love this large bag, it makes grocery shopping easier for large items.

When I first got my xtra large open top tote bag from LL Bean years ago, I didn't like it. It was too stiff and didn't fold into a small footprint. Then I moved to the Pacific Northwest where wood-fired fireplaces are a necessity. Hauling split logs to stoke the fire was always cumbersome and messy. The totes are perfect to bring an evening's worth of fuel in from the wood shed or to carry wood upstairs to the 2nd floor fireplace. The totes are sturdy and keep the house clean from wood debris. The extra long straps allow me to carry the tote over my shoulder for extra heft. I LOVE MY TOTE!! I highly recommend for outdoor use especially camping and boating. I have gifted them to several of my nieces.

I've sent XL bags as baby gifts and gotten effusive thanks. No one believed they could fill such a bag with baby gear, but they can.

We take this for our clothing instead of a suitcase while camping. It holds a lot (large). I love this bag and purchased others for people. I chose not the zipper in case I overflowed the bag.

My wife has been wanting this tote bag for a while, so I put it on her Christmas list. She absolutely loves it. You can really tell that it is well-made and will last for a long time.

very well made product

This was a gift....the giftee gave me details as to the color, initials, etc. that she preferred. She was delighted when she unwrapped the tote bag.

Great tote. very sturdy
