I’ve been looking for a reasonably priced backpack that could carry a few days’ worth of work / casual clothing plus laptop and typical related electronic accoutrements. This has proven to be perfect.A great price point especially given the quality but critically, it’s hugely practical. I love the fact that I can use it for an office backpack (when travelling), a one overnight stay or for multiple nights. The compression straps ensure it doesn’t look too bulky for any of these options.The compartments work really well and the side pocket will take a 1 litre bottle of water. Note, there is a small shelf at the bottom of the laptop / tablet compartment to avoid damage when setting the bag down (my last Samsonite backpack didn’t have this).It’s a genuinely comfy backpack even when fully loaded and certainly, I much prefer this to a typical laptop backpack plus a carry case when walking between hotels and offices. I can thoroughly recommend it.The only negative I would mention, is potentially when fully loaded, it may not get accepted with certain airlines – it may meet IATA’s carry-on standards but some airlines appear to be stricter than others. In my view, most would accept it with a few exceptions (I’m sure you can guess who) unless the compression straps were applied at least to a certain extent.So to summarise, a genuinely great bit of kit which I think is very well priced versus genuine comparators.

Quality is better than I expected TBH. I have been lucky enough to own a few Tumi bags/cases and though I have only had this bag for a month or so you can see it's going to be just as hard wearing. Excellent value for money, perfect size for a carry on.

Travel, laundry, grocery shopping. Stand it up on its solid bottom, unzip laptop compartment, reveals another 2-way zip to main compartment and viola! you have a shopping bag. Love this bag, it is truly multi-purpose. I have two very expensive Northface backpacks but I find the shoulder straps on this tom-toc more comfortable. Ticks a lot of boxes.

Quality is pretty good - materials feel decent enough, design is basic but good as a travel bag and not too heavy. The problem is the capacity. Compared to the T66 at stated volume of 40l, this T67 model is now specified at 38l. But the only way I can see this being a 38l bag is by (over) stuffing all the compartments (laptop, side, bottle). For reference, I have a 5.11 bag with a main compartment capacity of 27.5l. Filling the tomtoc to the brim, then transferring the contents to the 5.11 bag, I still have a bit of space left in the 5.11. Hardly a controlled test, but the 5.11 is stated as being almost 30% smaller so not great. If you're looking for a bag at around 30l, this is a good candidate.
