If you take this through airport security, keep in mind that if you have the top secured to prevent losing stuff, if an inspection is needed it's very difficult accessing the items through the "tunnel" when unrolled. In practice it means all of the items might have to be emptied out. It wasn't designed to be a carry on bag, otherwise great and reasonable price too.
I got this bag in black in the smaller size and it's perfect for packing my lunch, a pair of shoes, my laptop, a newspaper and whatever work files I need to bring with me. It's waterproof so I don't have to worry about it or its contents being ruined by rain. It works in the country and is perfectly chic in New York City. I love this bag!
I commute to work daily. Saw this item at LLBean. Wanted something that looked manly enough to carry, and rugged enough to handle everyday wear. The zip-top was a real nice toucn. Keeps everything dry in bad weather. Bought it in black, green, and camouflage. The totes are fantastic.
Purchased this tote in mid January to carry papers etc to and from the office. Last week the handle came off! Not the quality one has grown to expect from LL Bean!
