Lands End Tote Bag?

Andrewsgal

I need a bag for the pool and waterpark this summer. I bought a cheap one at Ross the other day and it broke walking into the water park-lesson learned:)

So I  think I am going to get a Lands End one, we will use it everyday sometimes twice a day for the pool or water park, I need to be able to carry, towels, change of clothes, pool toys, sunscreen and snacks. I can't decide what size to get. If you have one what size do you have? Do you like it? TIA.

I love my LE tote, but I find it hard to clean.

I'm thinking of getting this. Seems to hold a lot of stuff without looking too bulky.  https://www.amazon.com/Black-Mesh-Beach-Tote-carabiner/dp/B002L37R1E/ref=sr_1_5?ie=UTF8&qid=1306239563&sr=8-5

I love our lands end bags.  I got a navy and green years ago, so it is dark and doesnt get diirty.   how big do you want it? I have a medium that I use as a carry on for planes and stuff and I also have an extra large which is huge that I take to the beach or day trips and I fill with towels, food, toys, lotion.  it is big, lots of pockets.

I want to say that ours is the large or extra large. I can fit towels and misc crap for all 4 of us in there.

I love Land's End bags. I am using our old diaper bag as my knitting bag.

I have both lands end and LL bean.  I prefer the bean.  It is easier to wash, and the canvas is much stiffer, so it stands up better on its own, especially in the car.  I do not like the pockets on the lands end one either.   I tend to put things in bags inside the giant bag (like the suntan, bug spray, sunglass bag), so the little pockets are really just a nuisance to me that take up space and hide things, like apples that go bad.   I have the LL bean Extra Large and it is great for taking the whole family to the pool.  I have the large too and use that when we are just going for swim lessons (no pool gear).

I have an XL Lands End Tote.  But, I use this one for the pool from LL Bean:

It's a lot more water resistant and I like all the different pockets for things like sunscreen, keys, cell phone, etc.  I think I have the Large.  We can easily pack it up for 4 of us.  I do like the Lands End tote as well, but I miss pockets and I think someone else mentioned, it's not as easy to wipe clean.

Thank you j*w*!  I need a new beach bag and that one you posted is PERFECT!  Love all the pockets and that it's wipeable!

I love my LE bag - I got it for Mother's Day a year or 2 back.  It was around $50, I think the large size.  I can easily fit all 4 of our towels, bathing suits and more in the bag.  LOVE IT!
