"Daily commuter here. I wanted to get away from using traditional backpacks, and wanted something slightly more professional. This fit the bill perfectly. The bag has plenty of storage for all of my daily commuter items, and is comfortable to wear in any of the orientations. I've honestly found the backpack orientation to be more comfortable than any backpack I've ever worn before this. Though my preferred is the briefcase and shoulder strap. There aren't a ton of organizational pockets, so you'll have to have little bags yourself to organize. Otherwise, if you're a daily commuter like me, this bag presents a high quality, high value, and highly professional alternative to the classic backpack. Truly worth the asking price."

Best bag ever

"I have used this bag (the same one) for years for travel - it sits great on my carry-on suitcase as I roll through the airport, has easily accessible pockets for easy passport and ticket storage and fits everything I need to grab quickly. Just the right ratio of pockets to large areas. When I need to climb stairs to get to the plane I throw it on my back in a jiffy. Whoever designed this bag gets big gold stars!"

Great office EDC

"Wanted a bag with a bit of character for work, and this one fit the bill. The Woodland / Elmwood colorway is easily my favorite. Nicely balanced between office‑casual (less boring than all black/navy/brown) and fun (I love the toned‑down yellow accents!). It holds a lot: packed lunch, water bottle, coffee thermos, 11" iPad, and pouches for small items, and it organizes everything really well."

Lightweight hybrid briefcase

"I bought this to match my global travel bag roller and I love it. It’s perfect to use as a lightweight personal item for weekend flights. I do prefer the shoulder strap padding on my global travel duffel more and tend to swap this out with the briefcase shoulder strap :)"

Worked great on my last trip.

"Love the bag and all the space. I added a camera organizer pad from a different bag for the trip and could fit my laptop plus DSLR and two lenses in the bag and still had plenty of space."

Perfect commuter bag

The Note briefcase Briefcase

"The name of this bag made me hesitate a second. I got it to go with my roller bag and DO NOT regret it. It is the perfect size for not overdoing it and weighing yourself down. I used it for my carryon essentials - ID, hoodie snacks and a handful of toiletries, handful of electronics and book. No need to over do it but there for sure is still many pockets if you need more! I plan on using it as a strictly backpack next and excited about the versatility of it."

The Most Important Item I Pack for Every International Family Trip

"This bag is incredible. It offers an amazing amount of versatility and storage, making it easy to keep all of our family's essential items organized and within reach while traveling. One of my favorite features is how easy it is to adapt to different situations. It can be carried in multiple ways and attaches securely to our rolling luggage, which makes navigating airports and moving between destinations much more convenient. We have the full Topo Designs travel setup, so this bag integrates perfectly with our backpacks and carry-on luggage. Everything works together seamlessly, and the matching design is a great bonus. It's quickly become one of our favorite pieces of travel gear."
