ProsDurable, Great Value, exceeds expectations, lasts a long time!
I received the extra large tote as a Christmas gift 17 years ago from one of the docs I worked for, and it's probably the only gift from that many years ago that I still use! It's just as sturdy today as it was then. I use it as our "swim bag", and it gets stuffed with 5 or 6 beach towels, goggles, pool toys, a few bottles of water, and other miscellaneous items, and it holds it all well, without being too difficult to carry. I really like how it stands up on its own, making it really easy to load. I just bought one for my mom - I hope she gets as much use out of hers as I have mine!
These bags are wonderful!! The bag is useful for any and everyone. It is extremely strong and, the stiff sides make it nice to see what is in the bag as it stands up on it's own. Example being at the beach I have it next to my chair with everything in reach...book, drink, phone, ect. I have several that are xlg that are great for packing for our anual vacation. Again with the stiff sides I pack them each with certain items and use them to store the items in the vacation home (toys, shoes, games, beach towel ect.) This keeps everything organized while we are there and it does not have to be repacked when leaving...less work very practical.
Ordered this item as a Christmas present. Exceeded my expectations for quality and good looks, and the order process and delivery was effortless. Fantastic bag, and have already recommended it to several friends. Thanks L.L.Bean
