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

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.

Everything for the beach fits perfectly in the bag, including beach towels. no need to carry any additional bags with us.

I bought monogrammed Boat & Tote bags for my nieces at Christmas, and a sale prompted me to buy another one for myself! This time I ordered the zippered version, but either way, they are so convenient and much heavier than the run-of-the-mill tote you get at other places. My only regret is that I chose a different blue for the monogram other than the shade suggested, and probably should have gone with Bean's recommendation. Lesson: Trust L.L. Bean, not your monitor.

Excellent product!

The quality of the Boat and Tote Bags is second to none. I absolutely love these bags, and I own several, and I've given several as gifts. I'm a teacher, and they make perfect book bags. Love the free shipping and free monogramming with my LL Bean credit card, and the bags are Made in the USA!!! Also, LL Bean Customer Service is the best! Thank you!

Great graduation gift with initials embroidered on front. Will be helpful carrying belongings back and forth to college. Only like the totes that are made in Maine.....that is what LLBean is all about!

The zipper keeps everything safe from rain - all around, a great tote bag. I use it to replace my backpack. The medium size is roomy enough to hold a lot of books comfortably.

Excellent bag. I love that it is 1 of 2 L.L. Bean items that is still made in my home state of Maine. It was a bit smaller than expected, but still excellent Bean quality, no instructions needed!

I love my Boat and Tote Zip Top! Perfect size for my get-a-way weekend trips. Sturdy and very well made that it even sits up and doesn't fall over while I pack.I love my initial,got it in black, which matches the straps on the bag. Overall a beautiful tote and Yes, this tote will be with me for a long time.

Purchased 7 bags for my daughters bridesmaids, monogrammed with their initials. The customer service (I had a lot of questions) and the bags were both A+. They were delivered very quickly. The bags are very well constructed with fabric that is high quality and very sturdy. The monogram was stitched perfectly and added a touch of class. All the girls were very happy. Thank you LLBean

It's a bag. It happens to be an excellent tote bag, with a zippered top. It is well constructed of premium material. I purchased these totes to use as liner bags to place in the hard side cases on a motorcycle. They keep my gear organized, easy to access and I can pull everything out when I arrive at my destination. These totes work.

I would definitely recommend this product. I am a retired teacher and I was given a tote similar to this one as a present at school. At that time, I used it to carry my school work back and forth from home to school and vice versa. It is very sturdy and handsome. We recently added a new addition to our family... an Airedale fur baby! I bought this for him and put his name on the front. I use it to carry all his "stuff" when he boards or goes to puppy class. It is large enough to carry everything I need. Again, it is a great tote for whatever your needs are! It would be great at the beach or for traveling. I would buy it again if this one ever wears out! The one I had for school lasted forever.
