What Our Gearhead(R) Experts Are Saying:"I've used mine for everything from grocery runs to weekend trips to the lake and it hasn't shown a single sign of wear. The heavyweight canvas handles overstuffing without ever feeling like it's about to give out, and the reinforced handles make it easy to carry even when it's loaded down."Grocery store runs, beach days, and library trips all call for a bag that can handle whatever gets thrown into it, and the Boat and Tote Extra Large has been doing exactly that since 1944, now at Backcountry from L. L. Bean. The heavy duty cotton canvas construction shrugs off daily hauling, whether that means damp towels, a stack of books, or a cooler's worth of groceries, all while keeping its shape trip after trip. Reinforced handles and a double layer base mean this tote just keeps carrying more, no matter how full it gets. Double stitched, nylon reinforced seams keep everything intact through years of heavy use, and the reinforced flat canvas bottom holds its structure even when packed to capacity. This is a tote built for actual daily service, not just occasional errands.
