I love the search backpack. It is expandable and holds a large amount of clothing (in my case) while still fitting under the seat of an airplane. My wife and I recently travelled to London and carried only the Search Backpack and the Alpha Hyrid Carry On each an we were able to pack for an entire week. We had enough clean clothes that we didn't have to mess with laundry while we were there or checked bags.
I gave the Tumi Alpha Bravo Backpack 5 stars because it is well-built and well thought out. My only complaint is that it is also very heavy. The next time I use it I will be careful to pack less in it.
My husband has always carried a Tumi work bag. Getting this backpack has transformed travel for him. All pockets, and great zippers, allow for easy access and visibility of contents. Pockets and dividers inside are well thought out and aid in organization. It fits easily over one or both shoulders or on the extended handle of his carry in luggage. The bag itself is not heavy but made of great quality ballistic nylon ensuring many long years of use without degrading. So pleased with this purchase!
It looks very nice and sturdy. There're a lot of compartments which is nice. Would be nice if one of the compartment is bigger so when I go on super short trip I have room for just 1 set of change of clothes. The bag is slight heavy.
Gift for my pilot husband. I did a lot of research on the quality and utility of Tumi backpacks and settled on the Search. He loves it! It’s the perfect mid size backpack, has all of the compartment he needs and fits on his roller bag perfectly. It looks functional yet high end. The monogram adds the perfect touch.
