Boat and Tote Zip-Top Pocket Medium

What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying:

"This tote is practically indestructible. The canvas is incredibly thick, the seams don’t budge, and the handles are tough enough for grocery hauls or beach days. I love the zip top for travel—it keeps everything contained—and the exterior pocket is perfect for quick-grab items. It’s one of those bags you end up using for absolutely everything."

The zip-top adds secure closure for busy days on the move, while the exterior pocket keeps essentials close at hand. Tough, timeless, and built to last for decades, the Boat and Tote is a true workhorse—one that earns its place by the door because we grab it for just about everything.
