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

I take this thing everywhere. Whether it is to work, running errands, or out to either casual or semi-formal events, this classic bag fits practically any setting. It has withstood so many things and just looks a little naturally worn in. Fits computer, extra boat and tote zip pouch, water bottle, and small jacket. Would recommend large size for groceries and long handles for easier access and if you do not care to carry it by hand.

I love this bag so big it holds all my beach things.

Quality, over the top, exactly as ordered, will order again

I love having this iconic tote for hauling everything. I got the large grey with nickel monogram when I visited the store in Portland, and the stitching is perfect. I got the short handles - I would have preferred the long handle for such a large tote but it wasn't available and discovered this works over my arm too. The Zip top to me is essential. Why not have that added protection for your stuff? It tucks in and is not visible if you don't need it. I used it as a carry-on and the size was perfect for a laptop, sweater, books, snacks, a few pouches, and much more. This doesn't seem to get full. I highly recommend this tote in this size if you want to have a versatile tote.

Such a well made item! Arrived promptly and the quality is impeccable.

Very nicely made bag for beach and boat. Strong canvas, heavy duty reinforced straps and bottom with a well made closing flap and zipper. My wife enjoyed her monogram as a fun touch. Will buy a smaller size soon.

Right size; very sturdy; great casual attire bag or beach bag

I was always an LL Bean kid--my parents dressed us in LL Bean clothes and we all had backpacks and lunchboxes. And the original camp mocs, RIP. But I never had a Boat and Tote. I finally ordered a medium with long handles in khaki with natural embroidery thread, and I LOVE it. I love how simple and sturdy it is and how it reminds me of spending hours browsing the LL Bean catalog when we got it in the mail. My husband watched me unbox my new bag and decided he wanted one too, so his is on the way!

Great classic tote. Love that it zips and the large size is perfect for a full day of fun.

This is an amazing bag. I use it everyday and can fit so much! I highly recommend this bag to anyone! My favorite

My third bag from L.L.Bean, all different sizes and one with zipper top. They are terrific and sturdy. They have body so aren't floppy and stand up to getting wet.

Great quality bag! Love that free personalization!

It's a great carry-all. The long handles make it perfect. I can have it on my shoulder or carry it in my hand, and even though I am not tall, it doesn't drag the ground.

Absolutely love the classic boat and tote! We purchased for daycare, knowing it will be used for future sleepovers, school trips, vacations, and every thing in between. We trust the quality of L.L. Bean to last for many years to come!

So much room. Great material. Perfect family bag for all our stuff!

Love this bag. Very good quality and spacious. Can fit everything!

Love my bag, been an L.L.Bean fan since I was a kid. Got one for my mom too! I use my tote for a work/everyday bag

Very solidly made. Extremely durable. Made in Maine by Rick (he signed a card). Thanks Rick.

Great size! Sturdy well made bag with lots of room. Love the personalization!

Got the extra large with a zipper. Used it for a trip to Ireland. Got with Kelly green trip and embroidery. Very sturdy and holds a ton. Looks great.

This is my favorite bag. I bought it for a baby gift and had a baby's name put on it every new parent I have given it to has loved this as a room decoration, etc..

The zipper tote is my go bag for overnight stays and short trips. It holds all my clothes and toiletries I need for a couple of days.

Perfect size for family w young kids or for anyone who travels

Bag is my work out bag for the gym. Holds shoes, keys and towel for trip. Have similar bags and they wear extremely well. They are cold water wash when needed.

I still have my first boat totes from 14 years ago & the heavy canvas has done the job as expected. I use both for beach and pool days!
