tomtoc 15.6 Inch Professional Business Laptop Backpack, Premium Cordura Material Waterproof Travel Computer Backpack Rucksack with Large Capacity, 26L

First, you cannot imagine how nice the packaging for this bag is. It is packaged as though the best bag you have ever seen or used is inside.... because it is! The specialty box with TOMTOC on is is such an impressive first impression, I almost thought there had to be a disappointment inside! Second, inside the box, the bag is inside a high quality sealable plastic bag! The company has gone over the top with extra touches but they all make sense! Third, the Backpack design is bar none the best I have ever seen, let alone used. They left no stone unturned with their design and frankly, I have been searching for something negative about this backpack because it cannot be this good! It IS this good! I must say, the reason I got this bag is because I have some TomToc computer adapters that have so blown me away with their design quality that I wanted to try another of their products to see if all of their products were that good. THEY ARE!

Great quality product from tomtoc! As usual, no.1 quality. This is my second tomtoc product after their Laptop sleeve I bought in 2017.

Ive been using this as my primary backpack for the past two weeks, and Im very pleased with it. Its comfortable, it fits all my stuff, yet its slim and not too big. It will comfortably hold my 15.6-inch laptop, yet its slim, it doesnt stick out far from my back. This is good for me, but your mileage may vary here, the compartments wont expand enough to hold bulky objects, e.g. a bicycle helmet. I have lots of little things, so many pockets inside the compartments are a must. Across the four compartments of this backpack, I count eleven internal pockets, plus two spots for pens. In addition, there are two exterior pockets for water bottles or similar. I dont think the product images do a good job of capturing them all, so Ive included my own photos below to give you another angle. Unfortunately, only one of these internal pockets is zippered. I wish there were more, for things like USB flash drives or coins that tend to get lost in the bottom of the bag. One thing I should point out. The product images mention a water repellent zipper without giving any details. Only the laptop compartment at the rear of the backpack has a water repellent zipper, all the other compartments have regular zippers. That said, the frontmost compartment should be more water resistant than the others with regular zippers, because the zipper is hidden behind the fabric that makes up the compartment.

Great backpack, feels durable, lots of space, and comfortable to wear. I only wish that it had more smaller zippered interior pockets and that the grab handle wasnt this plastic material. It has a lot of open interior pockets, but I wish they were separated with zippers. The grab handle feels nice, but Im afraid it could be the first part to break in the future.

This Tomtoc 15.6 Inch Professional Business Laptop Backpack is made of military-grade CORDURA ballistic nylon built with a waterproof YKK zipper on the laptop compartment. Tomtoc didnt skim on adding organizational options. There are three separate compartments with 15 pockets built in to help tame devices and cables. What I liked most about this backpack was that Tomtoc hit the sweet spot on just about everything with this backpack. For example, it looks great and is well made but it doesnt scream that there are thousands of dollars of tech hiding within. Its also large and well organized but its sized just big enough to carry your essentials without allowing you to carry so much that youre weighed down. Speaking of weight, the weight distribution of this bag is better than any other I have used. I have several unevenly sized items stored within this backpack and it stands upright on its and even did so when I laid it on the side with an umbrella within the side pocket. Naturally, when the pack is on your back it feels lighter than the sum of its parts thanks to this excellent weight distribution. Finally, I have to highlight this backpacks dedicated laptop compartment. This is where Tomtoc spared no expense. This compartment is secured via a waterproof lining that surrounds around the YKK zippers. The inside of this compartment is covered with a thickly padded and very plush material that I full confidence will not scratch my device. In fact, I would dare say this laptop compartment is the best I have ever seen on any backpack and I have several, including some that are priced well above this one. What I liked least about this Tomtoc backpack was that they skimped on a couple of areas on the exterior of the bag. For example, the straps are missing pockets and eyeglass straps. Most backpacks in this price range, and some that are even cheaper, include pockets or slots for quick access to earbuds, ID or metro passes. They also conveniently have straps other fasteners to secure shades and glasses. A curious decision from Tomtoc to omit these features. Tomtoc also failed to add a secure pocket on the back of the pack as many other manufacturers do for backpacks that eclipse 100 dollars. When traveling its awesome to be able to pull off your backpack, unzip the hidden pocket and grab a passport/boarding pass. That convenience too is missing from this backpack. The question I kept asking myself when using this Tomtoc Backpack is if I had to pay full retail price for this backpack would I buy it? The short answer is I would. The laptop compartment alone almost makes this backpack smart investment. Beyond that, it has a 26L capacity, tons of organization and its all wrapped inside a military-grade Cordura shell. Other bags do make me wish I had quick access to my student ID or tap card when I take this one with me on my commute. I also find myself missing the hidden pocket at times but these minor inconveniences do not lessen the level of protection and general usefulness of this bag. For transporting tech, I dont think I have used a better bag than this one as it has supplanted my previous favorite, the Korin Clickpack.

Love this bag. Feels very durable and looks great. Just what I needed.

Intially it was smaller than I thought it would be, but all of the pockets and space really adds up! Its a great bag, so many amazing design perks. One thing is the top handle is not made of great material and if you plan on carrying it that way for long periods it may hurt your hands. However, I almost never use it for more than a few seconds here or there.

Ive been a Tomtoc user since 2015 and for good reason, their stuff just works. This pack screams premium quality, and its well worth the price. The pack is built like a tank but not heavy. The dedicated laptop compartment is one of the finest Ive seen in any pack and the built-in organization is top-notch. I like that its slim and not too deep. Most backpacks that can fit as much stuff as this one can, are way too deep and actually throw off your balance. This pack hugs your back and creates a pretty low profile, so its super comfy. BTW, another user said this pack is flimsy when its empty, um, no. Due to the materials used, this pack could almost stand up on its own when empty, not flimsy at all. I paired this pack with Tomtocs 10-inch electronic organizer as well as their sleeve and its become the perfect combo for me and my everyday carry.

Great for protecting tech.

TLDR: This is a very good, well-made - and good looking - pack, with lots of compartments for different items, good water resistance, good padding around the laptop, and still in a rather small & light package. Would make a very good business / travel pack but for school or regular use need to really consider how youll load it. The good: Cordura ballistic nylon, taped seams, and a repellent front section mean this bag will give you no worries in light rain. All construction is tight and high quality -- no concerns there with one possible exception for the top handle (see below). There are four (yes 4) compartments. All are full length (which is a bit of a shame, see below) so you have lots of options for separately packing flattish stuff of various types. I like this for a travel bag laid out as follows: Front compartment - travel stuff (book/kindle, snacks, headphones,etc), 2nd compartment - spare clothes packed flat with a 1/2 length pouch (in the top section) for toiletries and the like, 3rd compartment - business folders/papers and a couple of 1/2 length pockets (bottom section) for chargers, cables, batteries, etc. and finally the back (4th) compartment holds the laptop. On the outside are two thin, water bottle pockets. All that and I didnt even mention a couple of extra organizational dividers in various places. So yea, if youre a flat packer, this bag has lots of options and it works very well. Recommended. The not so good: That top handle: They went with a plastic band -- god knows why? Perhaps they thought it looked sleeker or something? The band is not comfortable when the bag is fully loaded and Im worried how well the plastic will hold up under heavy use. But few carry a pack by the top handle much so this is probably a minor concern for most people. All those compartments are full length. This feeds the universal problem with most all backpacks: Everything falls to the bottom. So unless youre putting in things that are long & flat, youre not going to get full use out of the compartments because the contents will just fall toward the bottom and stack making for a very awkward load. They put in a couple sets of 1/2 pockets but only 1 is at the top to help alleviate this problem. Its a real shame as they missed an opportunity here. Most bag designers dont want to build in this much structure because it makes the empty bag heavy and thick before you even start using it. But Tomtoc has done a really great job (truly one of the best Ive seen) of building in multiple compartments without the bag feeling overdone. But they should have staggered one of the pockets to make it a half length from the top. This allows you to load items at the top of the bag and get better load distribution. Dont get me wrong: Its a very nice bag and very useful. I like it a lot. If you are usually packing things youre not worried about falling to the bottom (books, folders, tablet), youll probably really like this bag. Definitely recommended in that case. But I cant give it a full recommendation because most people do have this problem and, at least for me, the multiple pockets kind of make it worse. Ive rated the bag 5 stars because if it fits you, I expect youll like it a lot. And the price is definitely right for this level of construction. But make sure you like the layout (its tough to photograph but hopefully the pictures give you a good idea) or you wont rate it 5 stars. Other nits: A couple of the zippers go down into the water bottle pocket area making them difficult to work when the bag is loaded and bottles are in the pockets. The straps are a little plain and padding is average. I assume this was to keep the sleek look so if you like that, you wont have any issue with the straps.
