Reviews

Stylish bag

"The bag looks good and has enough space for typical everyday gear. The construction and materials look good. The only thing I would improve is to pad the backpack-mode handle, similar to the brief-case mode handle."

— Danny H. (5/5)

Great Work Bag!

"In my industry there's a lot of things needed for a site visit, so this bag is perfect for having the right amount of space to carry my laptop (which is admittedly a tight fit due to it being larger than the max dimensions clearly listed on the product page), and other measureing tools! I've yet to travel on a plane with it, but I love how many different ways there are to carry it. Quality is good, too initially."

— Taro U. (5/5)

Good carry; not much organization

"At first, I was disappointed at the lack of internal organization, except for the computer sleeve. There is a fairly thin section for a computer and maybe a file or two. Then, there's a wider main section that could hold some packing cubes for clothing. Cords and charger best placed in external rectangular pockets. After comparing the pack to how I actually travel, it appears a very good match. An external water bottle pocket would be nice. This pack should easily qualify as a personal item and slide under an airplane seat."

— Nancy H. (5/5)

Global briefcase concerns

"I would recommend some grip on the sling shoulder strap. If I'm wearing with a vest or a dress shirt it tends to slide off my shoulder. It would also be a plus if there was a side pocket for a water bottle or coffee mug. Other then that perfect for my IPAD pro, which is what I operate from throughout my work day."

— Horacio H. (3/5)

All Around Good Bag

"Amazing bag. Sturdy construction. Lots of utility without being bulky or complicated. Looks really cool. Been getting compliments on it lately. Meets all my needs and more for a bag."

— Graham Y. (5/5)

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."

— Hattie C. (5/5)

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 :)"

— Keith C. (5/5)

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."

— Nathan L. (5/5)

Perfect commuter bag

"This bag is perfect for a hybrid style, great for work trips. Fit snug on my luggage carry on with all my necessities. Loved that I could wear it as a backpack when i got tired of the strap or holding it."

— Ty (5/5)

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."

— Elizabeth Z. (5/5)
