This bag is theoretically great. I love that it’s a tote with great organization and has a stylish utilitarian/urban look. However, it’s huge, and the carrying straps are thin and have zero padding. If you pack this bag out (water bottle, mac book, umbrella) it is super heavy (i’m 5’2” - standard height for a woman) to carry on your shoulder, and the narrow straps concentrate the weight in a way that literally makes my shoulder go numb. I really wish they would have fixed this. It’s not a bag I realistically want to travel with or carry all day. Ergonomic straps would change the game for me.

Unbelievable quality. Ballistic 15L model, fits my MacBook Pro14 perfectly with chargers cables etc. Unassuming and minimalistic. Tons of internal organization and lots of space. Dedicated water bottle space. Very nice indeed!

I wish the layout tho was different. The laptop compartment isn't on the same side as the luggage pass thru. This makes carrying it with a laptop inside feel a bit unbalanced on the shoulder since the weight of the laptop will be farther away from you when you carry it. Carrying it on the flip side with the laptop close to you means you lose the quick access zip pocket on the front side. Also, it means that if you use it with the luggage pass thru, the laptop would be facing out, so it can be more susceptible to damage. It's relatively minor and noticeable, but not bad because the tote is slim and holds its structure well. I wish there was another magnetic water bottle pocket inside so you can adjust how it's loaded, but one is sufficient. Despite my critiques and preferences, it's a solid tech tote that's well built and great for as an office/work bag.

Excellent tote: great material, zippers, plenty of pockets. I only wish it came with a strap and was a bit wider

It's excellent. I love the exterior water bottle pockets, but also a space to store them inside. The zipper is excellent with more water protection from the PU coating. I pair this with a Tom Bihn Absolute Shoulder Strap, and it's great as our in-flight bag for easy access to tablets, Kindles, and snacks. I researched many and am happy to have picked this one. 100% would recommend!
