Alpha Bravo Search Backpack - Laptop Backpack for Men & Women - Backpack for Work & Travel - 17.0" X 14.0" X 8.3" - Black

Tumi the best in travel backpacks. Stylish and well made. Enough pockets and sections for storage for traveling in style. A little pricy but worth the money. Leather is well made and feels quality

Ok... so, I got this bag to replace my 6 years old Victorinox Lexicon Professional Bellevue 15, which is also a top-tear premium bag. In my review I'll mainly compare it to the Victorinox, and share my experience with the TUMI search so far (only EDC for a month+). General: SIZE - Similar size, but slightly bigger than the Victorinox - As I never tried the TUMI Search before buying, I had only pictures as a reference... The Search looks bigger in pics than in real life which was my main concern. But it truly isn't that big, and not much bigger than the Victorinox. Materials: Fabric - although the Search has TUMI's ballistic nylon, also the Victorinox has a very durable ballistic nylon which seems a little thicker. Only time will tell if the Search will hold on "as new" like the Victorinox (hopefully). Zippers - Search has "lighter" and much more easy to open (easily one handed) than the Victorinox which has more "heavy duty" zippers, but harder to manipulate. I hope that the Search zippers will hold on years ahead like the Victorinox. Organization - TUMI's Search is much much better in the pocket layout than the Victorinox, more traditional but much more practical and spacious (at least 5 liters more than the Victorinox) - it has more inside pockets for organization, significantly bigger side pockets and overall larger space for storage. For my needs the Search is just perfect in this term. Also the inside fabric material in the Tumi is nicer. Weight distribution - I had both bags with the same equipment (Dell XPS 13 laptop, iPad mini, mouse, USB hub, cables pouch, wallet, business cards, several key chains, sunglasses in a case) and the Search weight distribution is better, and more convenient to carry. Looks & Design - its a very subjective matter, and I like both. But the Search is more conservative and clean looking, while the Victorinox is more "innovative" / different. The Victorinox has leather handles and accents which I like and whish the Search also had. The Search external top pocket has no structure support which is a con, so I kept the original TUMI packing material and still had spare space to store items internally, but this should be changed in the future model design. Delivery & Packing - One of the quickest deliveries overseas I had from Amazon (Zappos), and the packing was top level. The bag arrived in 100% condition in a large box (no gift box, just a regular box). Unfortunately I didn't have the option to personalize it on purchase process via Amazon which could be great. To summarize my review - Pros: - Beautiful clean design - Excellent organization layout - Spacious - Great weight distribution and carrying convenience - Perfect size for EDC ( much to spare) and probably for travel (haven't tested it yet) - Smooth and easy to use zippers (durability yet to be proven years ahead) - Excellent packing and extremely quick delivery overseas (Amazon via Zappos) Cons: - Ballistic nylon - thinner than expected and compared to my Victorinox bag - but durability yet to be proven years to come (and may prove not to be a con) - No option for personalization at purchase process on Amazon Bottom line: Highly recommended !

The Search is the best all around travel-focused backpack I've come across in a long time. It is capacious enough for fully stuffed Peak Design Medium + Small packing cubes, toiletries bag, laptop, water bottle, umbrella and a few other items. The main compartment has its own volume and isn't impacted by the side or front pockets coming in to steal space. As with other Tumi bags, it has really durable construction and zippers that are slide easily to manipulate with one hand, yet are durable and don't snag. There are lots of small design features that frequent travelers would appreciate. For example there is a hidden magnetic snap pocket at the top that is perfect for sliding in your phone before walking through airport security. It has a luggage handle pass-through, and I also love how the backpack can stand up by itself too, which is handy and the bag is empty or fully loaded. I've been a long time Tumi customer, and having used their suitcases, shoulder bags and other backpacks for over 20 years, I can confidently say this is my favorite piece. There is no denying that for $550, it is expensive, and it's not a purchase to take lightly. Given that this bag can be used for EDC work plus travel, I would consider it a decent value and should last for many years.

Great padding for laptops. Has many storage pockets and does well for office commutes and flights. Quality product.

Pricey but well worth it, you get what you pay for. Excellent quality which should give years of useage

I bought this as a gift for my husband. He had carried the same TUMI bag for twenty five years. He had decided he wanted to try a backpack for travel. He used it in his first trip, and so far he really likes it. It has plenty of room to carry his IPad, coat, and some essentials that he needs to grab quickly. He is a traveling Doctor so he needs to take a suitcase as well, but the backpack could carry enough for a short stay,

This is a really well made bag. Loved the color scheme and materials used on the inside. Organization options are nice. The only downside is the shoulder straps - they’re not very comfortable. The problem appears to be two fold: the mesh material used on the straps is a little scratchy and the foam used is a bit too firm. At this price point, I expected better. Bags such as the ones made by Aer offer way more comfortable straps at a lower price point. Carry comfort is very important to me, so landed up returning this (reluctantly). If TUMI improves the straps in their next iteration, this is a must have!

WOW.... Awesome Backpack. I recent took this bag to Disney World. We always need something large to store rain coats and snacks, wipes, water...etc. This was lite weight to start with so with all these items it was still a comfortable pac to carry for the 12 hours at the parks... and I'm a senior.. Awesome pac

Delivery was very late and I almost wanted to reject the purchae. The box came crushed. Luckily the item was not damaged. Managed to register the tracer on official Tumi site.

Habe insgesamt 14 Rucksäcke (ja, echt) für je nach Situation, kurze, mittel, lange Geschäftsreise. Der hier ist ideal für eine 1-Tages, evtl. 2-Tages Reise. Bin sehr zufrieden. Die TUMI Qualität ist top, Gewicht auch, sieht gut und ‚neutral‘ aus (keine Marken, Logos o.Ä.), hat genügend Taschen innen/außen und die Reißverschlüsse halten viel aus. Superding, sehr zu empfehlen, vor allem bei dem Preis hier, nämlich um einiges günstiger als der offizielle TUMI Preis. Der Händler war auch fix, zwei/drei Tage und der Rucksack, aus Italien, war in Deutschland da.

非常に良い品質。長く使えそうだしポケットが多く、それぞれが大きいので幅広い用途で使える。ただ、Amazonで買うのが正解かはわからない。公式のセールの時買えばより安く買えると思う

一泊程度の出張などで使えるリュックを探しており、グレゴリー、ポーターなどをショップで見ましたが今一ピンときませんでした。 そんな時、TUMIのショップでサーチを見て細かいポケットなどよく考えられているところが気に入りました。 ただ価格が約11万円と高く悩んでいたところ、Amazonで同じサーチで色も渋く価格も約7万円とかなりリーズナブル！ 多少モデルの年式は古いと思いますが、基本的なところは同じだし、TUMIの正規品という事なので即決！ 現物もイメージ通りで気に入っています。 長く使えそうです。
