tomtoc Travel Backpack 40L, TSA Friendly Flight Approved Carry-on Luggage Hand Water-resistant Lightweight Business Rucksack, Durable Large Weekender Bag Daypack Fits 17.3 Inch Laptop, PFAS Free

I have a small 20l Berghaus backpack which is my regular everyday / grocery bag and it's great for that, highly recommend if you want something small https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B00NMNCRYYI needed a more suitable overnight bag, with a chest/sternum strap, water bottle pouches, laptop compartment and more space. This is perfect. You can access the main compartment from above or below, and everything is easy to get to. The positive reviews are there for a reason. It's sturdy, comfortable (with ample padding on the back and the straps), has a padded top handle, good zips and it looks nice too (I like the grey version personally).I did try a cheaper 30L bag before this which was very light and cheap feeling and shipped in a bag - it folded down to nothing, like something you'd buy off Temu. This bag ships in a box because it's a better built more substantial product. Worth paying a little more for a bag you'll love that will last.Note - there is no waist strap, because this is not a hiking bag, it's smart and designed to wear for maybe an hour at a time as you walk to a hotel / train station / classroom / office, not between mountain tops.

Really impressed with this bag for the price. It’s well-built, comfortable to carry, and fits loads without feeling bulky. I’ve adapted it to carry my camera gear by adding a padded insert, and it works brilliantly – loads of space, and the layout is surprisingly versatile.Fits my 17-inch laptop with no issues, and the TSA-friendly design makes airport travel much easier. The materials feel durable and the spill-resistant finish is a bonus.If you’re after a solid all-rounder for travel, work, or camera gear (with a few adjustments), this one’s a winner.

I've been on the hunt for a travel bag for short (2-3 day) trips that would be easy to live with, and I think I found itIt looks really nice - all black, small logo, nice and stealthy, but with some "design" elements such that it's not too boringIt's very comfy to wear (I'm 6' 2") and feels well made (zips, straps etc all feel solid)I love being able to load it like a duffle, and it's handy to have the separate laptop section which is well paddedTwo, big water bottle pockets that are nice and secure makes life easyIt's just perfect (IMO) - kind of what I'd design for myself if I couldImprovements: being able to tuck away/secure the shoulder/rucksack straps would be handy for loading/unloading on a plane - but that's about all I can think of

After three months of daily use, I can confidently say that the Tomtoc 40L travel backpack is built to last. The high-quality materials have held up remarkably well, showing no noticeable damage despite being subjected to regular wear and tear as I mainly used it as a work bag to carry powerlifting equipment whilst carrying daily work essentials.However, there is one design flaw worth mentioning: the bottom of the bag tends to bulge unattractively when it isn’t fully packed. This issue is less pronounced when the bag is filled to capacity, making it more suitable for travel or extended trips. The straps on the sides also dangle close to or on the floor when holding the bag sideways which isn't the best, somewhere to stow these would have been helpful.The buckles are sturdy and reliable, though they don't quite match the robustness of Duraflex. Still, they perform well for the price point of the bag. Comfort is a strong point, with thick straps that make it easy to walk or cycle for extended periods without discomfort. The longest I have had the bag fully packed and on my back without discomfort has been around 40 minutes which to me is enough time to get to a train/car/plane to take it off.One standout feature is the innovative access to the spacious main compartment via the red tabs in the laptop compartment. This design element adds convenience and efficiency when retrieving items on the go.Overall, the Tomtoc 40L is a solid choice for travelers, with excellent durability and comfort, though it shines best when fully packed.

I am impressed by the quality of the materials used for the price. It feels strong and durable but still lightweight.I bought this primarily because it can also be used as a normal backpack by accessing the main compartment via the laptop compartment. A lot of other travel backpacks I looked at could only access the main compartment like a duffle bag.The main compartment capacity feels more like 35L but that is a perfect size for me as there is still enough room to fit all of my packing cubes. A lot of other backpacks overcomplicate things with lots of internal organisation but this just provides an empty space to fill with packing cubes.The main compartment and the laptop compartment are double zipped, however only the laptop compartment is lockable. The only downside is that the top pocket zip is a little too close to the laptop compartment zips and sometimes they get in each others way.Overall I am impressed with the quality and the price.

This is a top quality bad - holds a ton of equipment and the multiple openings make it easy to use. Comfortable when full for travelling and cinches down to be smaller when using day to day.

This is a well-made bag with good-quality zippers. Having used it for a couple of trips, it feels durable. The laptop compartment easily took in a large laptop + tablet and there was plenty of space for clothes.An interesting thing about this bag is that you can just about use it as a regular laptop bag as well -- the clothes compartment can be clipped down so this looks like a regular laptop backpack.All in all, I'm pretty happy I bought this. Recommended.
