We tested the best tote bags on the market to bring you this list. From the iconic IKEA FRAKTA to classy Filson Waxed Canvas, this best tote bag review has a tote in mind for everyone.
A tote bag is one of the most versatile pieces of gear, for use in the city or in the woods.
You can put any piece of gear you want in the tote thanks to its supremely simple design. And most stand up to heavy hauling (like firewood) and use. When used in town, they eliminate the need for single-use bags that just wind up in the landfill or as litter.
In the past few years, there’s been a surge of tote bags released from major outdoor brands. YETI, Filson, The North Face, Flowfold, and many more released tote bags, cueing a tote bag trend.
While we didn’t torture test the bags, we did use them for everyday errands and camping excursions. Read on for our top 10 tote bag review.
The Best Tote Bags of 2019: Review
Filson x Mossy Oak Camo Large Tin Cloth Grab ‘N’ Go Tote Bag: $150
Filson’s Grab ‘N’ Go Tote Bag has lived up to its name in the few months I’ve had it. The bag is big enough for a solid run to the grocery, stylish enough for a weekend excursion, and durable enough to withstand the abuse I put it through toting gear around a farm.
