Customer Reviews L.L.Bean Zip Top Boat and Tote Large

My husband has been using these boat totes for years to carry his lunch & other essentials whenever he goes fishing but he's never had one with a zipper. He likes that feature, says that it keeps things from spilling out when he's on his boat.

My brother and I take extended road trips - 2-3 weeks. This bag is perfect for organizing (and protecting) my books and laptop. It's also big enough to stuff my crushable hat and light rain jacket in. The blue handles help me locate it when I need to grab it out of the back seat of his truck.

Bought these for client presents. Can't beat a classic boat tote.

A classic tote that is very well made with durable fabric.

I love the tote but I bought the X-Large for a carryon bag and it's too big. I will definitely use it when I drive places. I had wanted the zipper one and everything is wonderful and well made, just too wide for flying.

Obviously the tote was superior quality, but I WISH I had NOT ordered the zip top in the small...it just seems TOO crowded for the zipper and material surrounding it. ALSO the handles are VERY stiff, as is the whole thing, but I assume it will soften and get a bit more flexible with use. Loved the WIDE choices of colors for handles and initials!

I have ordered many of these tote bags over the years and they are the best. Very sturdy and well made. I use them when flying and storing my yarn for crocheting and other projects.

We love these LL Bean tote bags! Sturdy and a "must have" for any type of travel or storage!

I use this as my personal item when I travel.. it fits everything and it's so sturdy!

Very sturdy! Well made, as usual! Great gift idea!

This is a heavy duty bag! I don't think it will be ripping like my last 3 bags.

Large and sturdy. Love the navy straps. Exactly what I needed.

I love the size and zip top! It's great for travel with an eight year old.

I purchased this tote because the one I purchased 30 years ago finally wore out. The quality of the new tote is exactly the same.

I love this bag. These are Christmas gifts I have my own and have given 4 previously which were loved by the recipients. Heavy weight canvas and hold quite a bit. Like monogram too

We had the large zip too growing up, it was the pool bag and beach bag and my parents still have it and it works perfectly 30 years later! And now I finally have my own! I got the XL so I could carry anything and everything. Right now I use it to take a lot of things to work with me on some days (lunch, purse, coat, laptop, etc). The regular handles on the XL are big enough to fit I've met shoulder but also make it easy to carry the bag in just my hands. I plan on using it for weekend trips too.

Love this bag! Bought one when I had my daughter 21 years ago, still have it and it looks brand new. Now buying one for her daughter, my first grandchild, and expect she will have it for years to come.

I bought these for my bridesmaids' gifts, and they all absolutely love them! I also got myself one with my new last name that I use almost daily. I highly recommend! The natural bags with the natural color monogram is very timeless and beautiful.

Bought this as a gift she loved it having her name on it

It's a very convenient size and my granddaughter loves The new color

It's a perfect size for traveling. The longer handles make it convenient too!

I'm using it as a "shoe bag" in my preschool classroom, and to take with us when we do outings into the neighborhood, to hold a variety of found treasures. Love it! The zipper keeps all items safe and sound, and the embroidered "Room 4" gives us all a little boost. Thanks!

Bought this bag for a baby shower gift, and it was a huge success!

I bought this extra large tote to move ceramic art supplies from my trunk to inside my home and from the trunk to the clay studio. It serves the purpose well. I bought a tote with a zipper, and I can use it if necessary. I chose long handles, which make it easier to carry a heavy load. I will take other art classes, and will use the sturdy, well stitched tote for other art supplies. Fairly priced and the best quality.

Second tote Ive used as a purse. Love its sturdiness , space and zip top.
