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

Bought two of the small zippered totes and had them embroidered with my granddaughters' names. Well crafted and just right for packing their favorite toys and snacks.

Am using bags I purchased in the 1970s. Many different sizes, all good Love the lightweight ones for overnight bag Missed out on the minis last fall, have two from years ago. Let me know if they will be available soon

A staple for me for pool days, weekend trips, picnics, anything!

I use this tote to carry 18 clip boards ,3 ring binder and assorted papers. It is heavy to carry based on what I put in it but it holds it all and I don't need to carry 2 separate bags. Can't beat the quality.

It has a zipper if I need to secure everything. It is sturdy. It is nice looking. It is a great bag for so many uses!

This is my sixth purchase of the Boat and Tote over the past ten years. I have them for my business, each of my children now for my own personal use.. As well made as everr, although I wish LL Bean would once again offer the customizing option.

Sturdy, highly useful gift for my latest great grandchid. Everybody in my family has at least one.

This is the 6th tote that I've purchased as a gift and anyone who received one was thrilled with it. The monogram was the icing on the cake! Maybe I'll buy one for myself at some point :)

This is a classic and classy bag. Very roomy and has excellent craftsmanship.

This monogram tote is amazing! I have a few of my own and order these as birthday gifts for friends and family. Very stylish and practical!

I'm loving my boat and tote so far, it's the perfect beach bag. For reference by large bag holds 2 beach towels, a change of clothes, multiple water bottles, and book, sunscreen, and more with room to spare. The long handles make it easy to carry as well. I also love the zip top because it keeps my stuff in and the sand out. I'm glad I finally decided to get this bag!

This heavy duty tote bag is high quality and perfect for a day at the beach. We purchased the extra large tote with long handles to carry all of our family's beach/swim gear, and it more than delivers. We also selected the zip top over the open top and are very happy with that decision. My only wish would be for an internal pocket for phones and a wallet - that would make this great bag even better.

Love it! The tote canvas bag met my expectations and than some, durable, strong, ample, well made. Worth the price.

The ONLY thing that might improve this tote is an outside pocket. However, it works extremely well to carry all my stuff, music books, music stand, a notebook, my little cases for music accessories such as pencils, highlighters, etc, a raincoat, an umbrella, glasses, car keys and even a light sweater! The zippered top keeps everything dry in a light rain. A quick wipe down with a paper towel is all that is needed. No matter how overstuffed I make it, it just works AND it stands upright next to my chair!

I was shocked at how strong and sturdy this tote is. It is the best tote I have ever seen. I loved it so much that I bought another one for my son's girlfriend. She loves hers as well. I had both of them monogrammed and they look great!

I purchased a boat & tote bag personalized with our boat name for my husband as a father's day gift. He was using an old one with my initials on it from years ago. The new one has blue piping and lettering the same color as the boat trim and it looks very smart. He piles everything he might need while sailing on Long Island Sound. I like the zipper so that items don't fall out on a rough sea. He was very happy with this gift. I also bought a medium size, also personalized for my son as a father's day gift and he agreed that it will be handy to cart items back and forth.

Met all my expectations. Love it!!!

I love these bags! They have become go-to gifts for births , graduations , weddings always appreciated and used

Top notch construction. Nice embroidery. Extremely thick cotton tote. Worth the money.

Tote holds a lot. I liked mine so much, I've given several of these totes as gifts. Perfect tote bag

I purchased this tote bag because I wanted a tote bag that could hold all my stuff and also look good. I love this bag it is the perfect size for my needs. It is good looking a strong enough to carry anything I put in it. I am very happy with my purchase.

My old tote finally fell apart about ten years of use, so I immediately replaced it. I am so glad the quality has remained the same!

Bought as a high school graduation gift with the graduate's initials on the outside. Filled with a blanket ordered from the bookstore of the college she will attend, the strap colors of the bag matched her college colors. A perfect graduation gift. The graduate LOVED it.

I bought my first Boat and Tote, Zip-top, Extra Large 11 years ago. I purchased it for my first grandchild so she could have a bag to go to Grandma's and spend the night or weekend. Since then I have bought each of my grandchildren a bag soon after they are born. I just purchased my fifth bag! They are big enough to pack for a week with children's clothes. (Along with diapers and other items) Super sturdy. The only issue I had was on one bag that was my 8 year old grandsons some of the threads of canvas unraveled and got caught in the zipper preventing it from zipping. With a pair of scissors I was able to simply clip the threads and it has been working great for the last year. I had them all personalized with their names. I absolutely recommend these bags!

heavy duty material; I am very pleased
