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

I love these totes, they hold up thru the years!!! I have several in various sizes and colors; a couple I've had for over 10 years! I have even washed them and they still look great. I have both the zip top and open top, I use the zip top ones for traveling and also for taking class supplies to/from classes (I take a lot of Quilting/crafting classes and I load these up) also I've recently started using the open top totes for my grocery shopping. The only reason I bought another was because I liked the color...you can never have to many colors!

My mistake in ordering the extra large boat tote. We've had a large one for years, virtually indestructible but canvas gets a little soiled. Ordered a new one as a gift for my husband to go on our new boat we just ordered, but it's really too large and will be too heavy once filled. Have sent it back to exchange for the large size, same as our original one.

The bag came earlier than expected and was perfect

This is a great tote! Very study, and makes a wonderful gift! it can carry a great deal of weight if you're looking for something practical or can make a great bag to keep in your car for trips to the farmers market or other local locations! Wood highly recommend customizing with the monogram option.

The boat & tote bags are of the highest quality. You won't find a sturdier bag. Use them at the boat in the summer & to store things in winter. I own several and have also given them as gifts. Always a hit.

I ordered the small bag with the long handles, zipper, and a monogram (initials). My bag is navy/white and the size, quality, and colors are exactly what I expected from LLBean---the best!!!!! I ordered this particular size to hold books for a class I am taking and it is absolutely perfect. The long handles allow me to carry it over my shoulder, the zip top protects everything from falling out, and the bag is so sturdy I know it will last for many years and many more books. I have other LLBean boat and tote bags for other uses and they are all wonderful, but I think this one is my favorite because it's so cute and the initials monogram looks so pretty.

Well made, heavy material. Very nice quality. A bit larger than I expected. Best of all, made here in the USA!

Tote bag was a gift. Recipient loved the gift!

I purchased the medium Zip-Top for my husbands commute to work. He stuffs it with lunch, water, etc. The zippers prevents disasters. A great investment!

EVERYONE AT THE PARTY LOVED THIS SURPRISE GIFT

This is the second one with long handles and zipper that I purchase as a Christmas gift for my sister. She wore the first one out, meaning till the handle frayed! She had everything one could imagined in there! I ordered the same one except in a different color. She does still use the other one, but it now holds all the dog balls for throwing! I want to say that I bought it about 12 years ago. I also have different sizes of these bags! Love the Bean Bags!!

Over the years we have bought several of these tote bags. None have worn out, we just like them so much that we continue to buy them as gifts. The XL zippered ones with long handles are capable of carrying everything but the proverbial kitchen sink.

I bought this Tote for my daughter to use as her daycare bag. Now that it's winter, I send a change of clothes along with all her winter gear(snow pants, jacket, boots, mittens). This is the perfect size with some room to spare! In the summer months, there will be plenty of room for her beach towel, change of clothes, bathing suit, sunscreen and some beach toys. I highly recommend!

Best baby gift ever. I have sent over 200 of these. I should be getting a free one by now!LOL.Quality is great. Customer service is great. My go to gift.One comment from a father was that when u name a baby it takes awhile for the name to sink in. But when the personalized bag comes from L.L.Bean u know the name is cast in stone. Everyone loves this gift.

So pleased with the tote... sturdy and holds a lot! My grandchildren loved their names on the bags!! Will definitely order again! Embroidery is beautiful!

I have been using these totes for many years and find them strong, durable, washable and fairly stylish. The lifetime warranty also gives you piece of mind that if anything does go wrong, it will be fixed! A great buy...And American made! Recommended.

Just what I wanted for Christmas gifts. Big, roomy and sturdy. Filled with a blanket, a few games and books, and it's the perfect present for a family!

Bought this bag to take on a airline that restricts size of carryons free of charge. Looked up this size and this is perfect. I'm going to carry the description along if they try to charge me. I like it.

This product was very excellent on material and seam was verynice. Love it. Very handy and even you put a lot of stuff it was very nice that they can really handle everything. I It.

This the 3rd tote I've purchased. They are rugged and attractive. The recipients of the first 2 have put them to hard use with no problems. Excellent product.

The fabric is sturdy and of great weave tight weave. I sew & the stitching is consistent with excellent construction !

I just purchased my 11th Boat and Tote bag for my 11th grandchild. This is a perfect bag for them to pack their Pj's, favorite toy and blanket and visit Nana's house. Mommy and Daddy love them too. Sturdy and personalized with their name. There are so many color choices that each have their own.

This bag either used to belong to Mary Poppins or is a portal to Narnia. The amount of stuff that you can cram into it is staggering and the construction is of such high quality that you are guaranteed not to split a seam. The waterproof properties make it an excellent bag to carry your gear (whatever it may be) in less than ideal weather. If you are planning a daring escapade to loot a dragon's hoard, this is the bag to carry. I cannot recommend it strongly enough.

I use this bag when I go overnight. It holds EVERYTHING that I need-clothing, makeup, accessories...whatever I feel I need to take. It zips and nothing falls out and is lost. I would highly recommend this to anyone who wants a secure and stylish boat and tote bag.

I really love this bag. It's perfect for my art supplies and the quality is second to none.
