L.L. Bean’s Field Tote is all grit and no gimmicks: a thick, double-layered polyester shell, burly double-stitched seams, and handles that feel industrial. Inside, a thermoplastic lining shrugs off moisture, mud, and mystery goo with wipe-clean ease. It’s not fully leakproof, but it’s close, and that makes it perfect for hauling damp beach towels, snow-crusted boots, or a post-workout fit.
It’s a single, cavernous compartment, with no fussy pockets. There’s an open-top version, but we love the zip-top model for travel. WIRED director Michael Calore tested the extra-large, 53-liter version, and it’s massive enough for a week’s worth of produce, a couple half-gallon cartons of oat milk, and a 12-pack of hard kombucha if you’re also planning on going grocery shopping during your vacation.
