I purchased the Everyday Tote because both of my sons told me to!! They researched and researched bags that they would like for travel. They both have a bunch of camera gear. I don't. I use this bag for my travel backpack and it does everything that I need! It is comfortable to wear. Easy to carry and it looks great!
I purchased a white one as a gift for my girlfriend who is currently a law student. She is required to bring big and heavy hard copy textbooks every day with her laptop. I am amazed by how much volume this back carries. you can load at least two 12"* 9" thick textbooks, a laptop, some notebooks, and her daily basics. well, adding up there are over 30 lb of weight challenges the straps. It does a wonderful job so far. the side pocket is so convenient and secured at the same time. She loves it and uses the bag every day. it does catch dirt and dust easily, and it is easy to clean if there some accidents. The bag full of design features it is a the nicest backpack so far.
For me, this bag checks almost every box. It's low profile, comfortable to carry, not over-engineered, and genuinely pleasing to look at. Having compartmentalized side access is such an upgrade after years of using a top-loading backpack. I love how the left-over strap material is stowed inside the bag instead of being left to dangle about. Also, it's great how the bag stands upright when it's set down; a nice feature that I wasn't expecting.
I use the totepack as my work bag, and I'll admit that I don't carry that many things. As another reviewer mentioned, this is a tight 20L. While providing the necessary organization, the dividers do take up some valuable space. But personally, I think the design and function of the bag outweigh any desire to carry more stuff. The bag is still large enough to carry workday essentials like my laptop, tablet, water bottle, cable pouch, headphones, and other various small items. It's been a great purchase so far.
i love toteback so much,this size is good for me,evenshopping with my son,i always take this bag,but i want the magnet can more power or change the position ,if top handle can more tight,its perfect for me
I have bought the totepack a month ago to replace my backpack and I definitely love it! It's compact with a great use of the space and the design is amazing.
I needed a bag I could carry on a plane that wouldn't look like a typical camera bag. I considered the backpacks but landed on the Tote Pack because of its versatility, and I couldn't be happier. Here's what it holds: 2 Canon 5D Mark IV bodies with lenses attached (a 24-70 on one, and a similarly sized lens on the other); 1 Profoto A1 flash; my new Peak Design Travel Tripod; a 13-inch MackBook Pro; an iPad; and various small items in the outer pocket (keys, a couple batteries, memory cards). I also picked up the Tech Pouch at the same time, because I had a feeling the Tote Pack wouldn't hold all my cables and stuff once it was fully loaded, and I was right. So, I can lash the Tech Pouch to the outside of the Tote Pack if I really need to load the Tote Pack all the way. I love that I can use it as a backpack for walking around or, when I'm ready to board a plane, stow the straps away and make for super-easy stowage. Honestly, it's the perfect bag for my needs. I have a ThinkTank International rolling bag that holds EVERYTHING, but it's way too heavy for me to lift and put in an overhead bin, and for most shoots, I really just need a couple lenses and a couple bodies, and that's what the Tote Pack lets me carry. Plus, it just LOOKS good.
