L.L.Bean's Zip Hunter's Tote Is the Only Carryall You Need

Key Takeaways

• Photograph: Michael Calore The walls of the bag are tough enough, made from 1,200-denier polyester, which is heavy-duty and water-resistant, not to mention so rugged that it's nearly indestructible.
• I've checked it as luggage on a dozen or so flights, and it doesn't show any scuffs or tears.
• The zipper at the top isn't sealed, but it's heavier than it needs to be and works just fine in the rain.
• What truly sets the bag apart, though, is its lining.
• The whole interior of the tote is coated with a thin layer of thermoplastic, further increasing its imperviousness to moisture.
