tomtoc 15.6 Inch Professional Business Laptop Backpack, Premium Cordura Material Waterproof Travel Computer Backpack Rucksack with Large Capacity, 26L

I took a chance on this backpack as $99 is a lot to spend on one but I’m quite pleased so far with it. Being from the PNW, it can be wet a good portion of the year and for those of us who take public transportation, we need to make sure our contents are protected within our bags. 26L for a day to day pack is plenty for me and I found that it had more than enough space to keep everything I needed. The laptop compartment is well padded and I didn’t need my sleeve at all and the main compartment had space for any books, other electronics, snacks, misc. items, etc. The front pocket was a bit disappointing, it had space but only being able to access it from a small top zipper was an issue. I prefer to have a front pocket that unzips at least half way down the sides for easier access. Fit wise, it worked well on my petite frame (I’m 5’4”) and was comfortable to wear during the day. I like the bag a lot but I couldn’t honestly justify the price tag on this as there are other bags that are much cheaper which do just as good of a job.

Ive been using this as my primary backpack for the past two weeks, and Im very pleased with it. Its comfortable, it fits all my stuff, yet its slim and not too big. It will comfortably hold my 15.6-inch laptop, yet its slim, it doesnt stick out far from my back. This is good for me, but your mileage may vary here, the compartments wont expand enough to hold bulky objects, e.g. a bicycle helmet. I have lots of little things, so many pockets inside the compartments are a must. Across the four compartments of this backpack, I count eleven internal pockets, plus two spots for pens. In addition, there are two exterior pockets for water bottles or similar. I dont think the product images do a good job of capturing them all, so Ive included my own photos below to give you another angle. Unfortunately, only one of these internal pockets is zippered. I wish there were more, for things like USB flash drives or coins that tend to get lost in the bottom of the bag. One thing I should point out. The product images mention a water repellent zipper without giving any details. Only the laptop compartment at the rear of the backpack has a water repellent zipper, all the other compartments have regular zippers. That said, the frontmost compartment should be more water resistant than the others with regular zippers, because the zipper is hidden behind the fabric that makes up the compartment.

Great for protecting tech.

Ive been a Tomtoc user since 2015 and for good reason, their stuff just works. This pack screams premium quality, and its well worth the price. The pack is built like a tank but not heavy. The dedicated laptop compartment is one of the finest Ive seen in any pack and the built-in organization is top-notch. I like that its slim and not too deep. Most backpacks that can fit as much stuff as this one can, are way too deep and actually throw off your balance. This pack hugs your back and creates a pretty low profile, so its super comfy. BTW, another user said this pack is flimsy when its empty, um, no. Due to the materials used, this pack could almost stand up on its own when empty, not flimsy at all. I paired this pack with Tomtocs 10-inch electronic organizer as well as their sleeve and its become the perfect combo for me and my everyday carry.

Love everything about this pack, accept the fact that the black outside shell (the area where it says Tomtoc, ironically enough) was stained by light rain. It looked fresh and new until it met some very light rain outside for the first time. The water that accumulated just stayed as a stain. Very unusual that the area where this companies name sits, looks like black and grey camouflage. Would be happy to post a pic if Amazon allows me to.

I was looking for something small but large enough to secure (in separate pockets) a 13” MacBook pro & a 12.9” ipad pro. I got a swiss gear and this to compare and I decided to go with this even though it was double the price. The swiss gear was nice but i like the comfort of the tomtok & the build quality. My wife made the decision (based on looks) and said no question go with tomtok. Very happy with my purchase. Came with a nice box as well, where it he swiss gear came in plastic bag. Tomtok for the win

First, you cannot imagine how nice the packaging for this bag is. It is packaged as though the best bag you have ever seen or used is inside.... because it is! The specialty box with TOMTOC on is is such an impressive first impression, I almost thought there had to be a disappointment inside! Second, inside the box, the bag is inside a high quality sealable plastic bag! The company has gone over the top with extra touches but they all make sense! Third, the Backpack design is bar none the best I have ever seen, let alone used. They left no stone unturned with their design and frankly, I have been searching for something negative about this backpack because it cannot be this good! It IS this good! I must say, the reason I got this bag is because I have some TomToc computer adapters that have so blown me away with their design quality that I wanted to try another of their products to see if all of their products were that good. THEY ARE!

This Tomtoc 15.6 Inch Professional Business Laptop Backpack is made of military-grade CORDURA ballistic nylon built with a waterproof YKK zipper on the laptop compartment. Tomtoc didnt skim on adding organizational options. There are three separate compartments with 15 pockets built in to help tame devices and cables. What I liked most about this backpack was that Tomtoc hit the sweet spot on just about everything with this backpack. For example, it looks great and is well made but it doesnt scream that there are thousands of dollars of tech hiding within. Its also large and well organized but its sized just big enough to carry your essentials without allowing you to carry so much that youre weighed down. Speaking of weight, the weight distribution of this bag is better than any other I have used. I have several unevenly sized items stored within this backpack and it stands upright on its and even did so when I laid it on the side with an umbrella within the side pocket. Naturally, when the pack is on your back it feels lighter than the sum of its parts thanks to this excellent weight distribution. Finally, I have to highlight this backpacks dedicated laptop compartment. This is where Tomtoc spared no expense. This compartment is secured via a waterproof lining that surrounds around the YKK zippers. The inside of this compartment is covered with a thickly padded and very plush material that I full confidence will not scratch my device. In fact, I would dare say this laptop compartment is the best I have ever seen on any backpack and I have several, including some that are priced well above this one. What I liked least about this Tomtoc backpack was that they skimped on a couple of areas on the exterior of the bag. For example, the straps are missing pockets and eyeglass straps. Most backpacks in this price range, and some that are even cheaper, include pockets or slots for quick access to earbuds, ID or metro passes. They also conveniently have straps other fasteners to secure shades and glasses. A curious decision from Tomtoc to omit these features. Tomtoc also failed to add a secure pocket on the back of the pack as many other manufacturers do for backpacks that eclipse 100 dollars. When traveling its awesome to be able to pull off your backpack, unzip the hidden pocket and grab a passport/boarding pass. That convenience too is missing from this backpack. The question I kept asking myself when using this Tomtoc Backpack is if I had to pay full retail price for this backpack would I buy it? The short answer is I would. The laptop compartment alone almost makes this backpack smart investment. Beyond that, it has a 26L capacity, tons of organization and its all wrapped inside a military-grade Cordura shell. Other bags do make me wish I had quick access to my student ID or tap card when I take this one with me on my commute. I also find myself missing the hidden pocket at times but these minor inconveniences do not lessen the level of protection and general usefulness of this bag. For transporting tech, I dont think I have used a better bag than this one as it has supplanted my previous favorite, the Korin Clickpack.

Great backpack, feels durable, lots of space, and comfortable to wear. I only wish that it had more smaller zippered interior pockets and that the grab handle wasnt this plastic material. It has a lot of open interior pockets, but I wish they were separated with zippers. The grab handle feels nice, but Im afraid it could be the first part to break in the future.
