Customer Reviews L.L.Bean Insulated Tote Medium Plaid

What do you get someone who doesn't really need anything? I bought this cooler (plus 2 blue ice packs) to get her cold groceries home to her fridge. The construction has many nice details: very sturdy sides and bottom, a good zipper, and well made handles plus a detachable shoulder strap. (I am so sure my friend will like it -- that I bought one for myself, too.)

A great cooler bag for a day trip. I will use it as a carry on for an upcoming vacation so that we have a cooler.

Had been eyeing this for a while. Finally bought it. It's perfect.

Well-made, sturdy insulated bag, what I needed to last when I buy groceries, have to tote them home knowing they will stay cold.

Great bag. Insulates well. Looks good. Nice size. Good strap lengths. Very handy to own a bag like this. We have used it a lot. Worth the money.

Easy to carry. Keeps food & drinks cold. Perfect for lunches when we travel. Also great for keeping food cool when traveling home from grocery. We live in country and travel to/from grocery store is a distance

Great for taking sandwiches, drinks, etc. Can bring cold items home from grocery store as well.

Very sturdy, easy to clean, and keeps things cold!

We are enjoying our medium tote. It is extremely well insulated. A great addition to our picnic supplies.

Just the right size for a half gallon of milk, some OJ and a dozen eggs or a couple sandwiches, fruit and a drinks for two.

I read the reviews for this bag and they were on target. The bag held everything that we needed and kept the food cold for over 8 hours Once again you have out done yourself

LOVE IT!! It is just the right size for a quick travel day. Love the color and pattern. Keeps things nice and cold.

Purchased this bag for a Raffle item-Excited for the winner

Love the tote. Great size. Looks great. Easy to carry.

I gave this as an employee gift and she uses it everyday. Love the classic pattern. The size isn't too big for a lunch and plenty of room for a couple picnic. Also great to use as a regular tote with the perk of being a cooler as well.

The medium tote is a perfect size for packing a meal or snacks. I especially enjoy the ease of carrying and loading the tote compared to a boxy cooler. Great buy for us!

Great day cooler/tote! We stock this with drinks when we are heading out for day trips. Great material (easy to clean), great size and cute too!

Great insulated bag. Nice and tall for extra tall water bottles. Very durable and well made.

Fits exactly what I wanted and doesn't look like a typical cooler

Great quality and I find it rather retro. Love it!

Took it on a picnic, keep our food nice and cool. Sturdy and easy to carry too.

A really nice way to carry items, so much easier to maneuver rather than a cooler!

I absolutely love this plaid cooler tote. I chose the medium size red and black plaid as it gave off a retro cooler vibe. The other colors were quite appealing as well, but nostalgia won out. The medium bag is well made and was perfect for three people. Typically, it is just my husband and me as our two children have grown and moved out. I probably would have bought the next size up if they both were home. The tote cleans up easily inside and out. I spilled ice cream down the textured outside and it came right off. The exterior is somewhat rigid allowing the bag to stand upright but will yield a little if packed in a tight spot. It bounced right back into shape. The shoulder strap is removable; the clasps are solid and look well made. There's a pocket in the front for napkins, hand wipes, etc. We put it to the test on one of the hottest of days this summer. (95-97) I packed several cold drinks and one 8x121" flat reusable ice pack in the insulated tote. I had a 3 hour drive to visit my grandmother at a nursing home. There was one stop along the way to pick up my son who bought bagels with cream cheese and lox for our mobile breakfast. I ate half while driving, tucking the other half into the insulated tote for later. My black car was parked in full sun during my four hour visit. The interior was roasting when we returned to the car. I had driven about 45 minutes and was hungry. Should I chance the bagel? After all, cream cheese and lox will spoil quickly in the heat. Despite the reusable ice pack being placed in the cooler 7-3/4 hours earlier and the cooler baking in a hot car for 4 hours, the ice pack was solid! The drinks were ice cold and the bagel with cream cheese and lox stayed fresh. I ate the bagel, confident the insulated tote performed as well as a hard-sided cooler. This insulated tote impressed me so much that I am planning on buying more as Christmas presents.

Purchased because we love to picnic at the beach and other lications

This insulated tote is the perfect size for carrying wine. It's our go to bag for any outing and the plaid is just plain fun.
