Masterful at helping me organize my crap
on August 11, 2026
Posted by: MattyD
I love my new updated Brief Backpack . I enjoy the structure - how it does not slouch at all and is upright at all times. I enjoy all of the compartments - very well laid out. I just discovered that if you start from the top and unzip both zippers at the same time down the main compartment, it automatically and quickly unfolds outwards so you can see everything exposed on the inside- nice touch because everything is exposed and the bag ceases to become a black abyss to lose things in. The two front zip pockets in the front are exceptional - and are not one dimensional slots,- they are actual roomy bins that can fit sunglasses cases, pen cases and probably even headphones. Looking forward to work and trips with this bag and discovering more cool things it can do - organizing all of my crap! It would be nice to see slightly beefier shoulder straps and maybe one or two more attachment points to hang a Tumi accessory from. But I get it - it’s a more business/work aesthetic (not hiking!). My first major Tumi product. Good job!

You get what you pay for. It’s sturdy, has large pockets, luxury feel, and comfortable to carry.

Good quality bag

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Good quality. Made of strong material. I’ve stored my bag under the seat in front of me in tight spaces and it does not seem to scratch.

Design Flaw

Huge TUMI fan, have a ton of their bags. This laptop bag is a fail. Claims to be a laptop bag BUT they don't have a suspended laptop compartment. They used to put that in all their backpacks and for some reason didn't in this one. If you have carried many laptops in backpacks this is a huge risk as you don't always set the bag down as soft as you want and all that force hits the laptop, padding of a 1/2 inch doesn't blunt much force.
I have owned 20 laptops over the years and probably 10 backpacks, this is a really bad design.

Love this backpack so far. The color looks better in person. There’s nothing I don’t like about it so far.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I absolutely love the backpack, both of my sons have the same model, and I highly recommend it. I traveled all over Africa with it, and it was extremely practical and durable.

Nice Upgrade
on April 7, 2026

The Alpha 3 Brief was my EDC. The refresh model has been a very nice upgrade. I understand the purpose of the zipper magnetic keeper on the main compartment is to keep the zipper pulls neat and in place, but I don’t understand why the other 7 zippers don’t have that same feature.
