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

These bags are classics in any size. Sturdy, reasonably priced, and last forever.

I love the bag only wish the straps were longer!

Excellent bag. Now that it has a zipper much better than older ones.

IT IS BIG, BUT I NEED IT TO GET ALL MY STUFF IN IT. AND IT CAN HAUL EVEN MORE.!! GOOD STRONG HANDLES. I WISH I HAD ORDERED THE SHORT HANDLES. I'M KINDA SHORT AND IT ALMOST DRAGS THE GROUND. MAYBE LL BEAN YOU COULD FIND SOME WAY TO LET US KNOW HOW LONG THE HANDLES ARE ??

This is the second time I have used this for a wedding shower gift. I had the couples last name put on it and put a present in it.

I chose the medium boat tote as my carry-on for a river cruise in Europe. It was a great choice as it fit under the seat on the flights and was the right size for everything I would need in case my checked bag didn't arrive.

I just received my Zip-top tote and I couldn't be happier! This is an attractive, heavy, quality canvas bag that can be used in a multitude of ways. I ordered the medium size with normal size handles. It's large enough to carry my necessities for a day of boating or comfortable enough to use as a everyday purse/tote. You can carry this bag on your arm or over the shoulder. The embroidery initials are well done and the bag looks neat and clean. This bag will be a keeper for many years to come!

I have never purchase from LLBean before but fell in love with my sister in laws large tote I just had to have one. I also ordered the travel tote I'm using for my personal items like shampoo etc. both item are great for quick weekend get a ways that we do a lot to go watch our grandsons play hockey at college and Junior A division.

This is the perfect tote for work, and I have been using it on an everyday basis outside of work because it is "just right". I also have found the medium zip-top tote to be a great carry-on for travel.

I received this bag as a gift in about 1995. So I have had it about 23 years. We used it as a beach bag when we went to Virginia Beach to visit family and to Georgia for other family visits. It has held up extremely well. Just a little faded. We keep 6 extra large, well folded, beach towels in it and it still zippers closed. I definitely recommend this bag.

Love the bag, excellent quality fits everything I need for a weekend trip. Love the initial style I chose. Would definitely recommend to others. Prefer this bag over a more expensive "designer" bag.

I bought two XL totes for my stockroom to use in delivery. They carry everything, look great and last a long time. We love them!

Ordered the extra large boat bag with zipper and navy trim for grandson-on-the-way. I chose the athletic font for his name and when it arrived it was even better in person. Very happy with the usual super construction of Bean boat bags. I'm sure it will be perfect for carrying the necessary baby equipment for years to come! My boat bag is 30+ years and still going!

I am very happy with this bag. It is well made and fits all of my stuff (and my dogs stuff) for a weekend trip.

I LOVE the totes! I bought my daughter one, and loved it so much I ordered myself one too. I make the perfect beach bag. I love that it stand up alone, it holds a lot of stuff, and you can zip it up! Very rough & tough bag. Monogramming is a must. The long handles makes it easy to put on your shoulder also. I have an XL totes that I received about 15 years ago for a Christmas gift, it's still in great shape.

I love this bag. I had one some years ago that I believe someone swiped or it got lost in one of my moves. This updated version has a zippered closure for added security when I am in the pool and want people to not see what I have stored. The zip top keeps everything hidden and it is assurance that a thief will think twice before reaching in. I just put anything valuable on the bottom. Wonderful item!

Best tote in the world, great quality, love it!!

I am beyond thrilled with this bag! If you are considering buying, just do it - you will LOVE IT! I recently went on a 9 day trip to Jamaica with my boyfriend, and I needed a study and big bag to carry our stuff for the day (sunscreen, snorkels & masks, phones, cover-up, books etc.), and I wanted it to zip shut, but I also wanted something waterproof - I wanted to be able to bring my bag anywhere and put it down with no hesitations. I didn't think that a bag like this existed, like a unicorn. But then I found this bag!! Waterproof, HUGE (the large is like a portable storage container!) and it zips shut! The Regatta Blue looks SO SHARP against the canvas, and I had it personalized in Gold, such a great color combo. Will be buying another one of these bags, I adore it! Thanks LL Bean!

As always, I appreciate the HIGH quality of these totes - I use them for everything and really appreciate the quality and workmanship!

I love them I have 6 of them and use everyone. They are great quality and last for years and years.

This is a sturdy tote that can handle several things in it. I like the handle (it's a little long, but I ordered the long handle). I am glad that it is made to handle winter weather. I also like the monogram on the front; it suits me well and I use it to handle my Jazzercise "stuff". I am glad that I purchased it. I also like that it has a zipper and closes well. All-in-all, I would highly recommend it! I anticipate that it will last for several years, where others have not made it through a winter, where the salt and ice ruined them.

This bag with the longer handles is great! It's very sturdy and seems to be well made, and I love that its made in the US. Use it to carry clothes from the nursing home, home to wash, it fits clean clothes very well and it's big enough that they don't wrinkle. Plan on using it as a carry on for vacation, the zipper keeps things safe. Will probably buy more for holiday gifts, great value!

Complete with initials, an outside pocket - I received one of these years ago, I use it daily and it still looks and feels new. This product was a birthday present for my sister, who is absolutely thrilled with it. I highly recommend this as a valuable and useful tote.

Have 4 of the large regular totes for the whole family that we've had for years and are wonderful. As a result decided to get a medium zip top. Most versatile totes we own.

I owe several bags and use them for luggage or carrying tools.
