Tumi Alpha Bravo Knox Backpack Review

Thanks to reader Dante S. for writing this review of the Tumi Alpha Bravo Knox Backpack.

I have been traveling as a marketing consultant during the for the last 8 years and just got back to Canada. Going through so many bags for work and traveling because most just don’t last while your on the road. The Tumi Alpha Bravo Knox Backpack is one of the few things that have last the journey thus far. Not only is it super light, spacious and convenient. It’s comfortable and looks professional (even after 8 years). Not even a scratch!

To add, you can easily take it on board your trip as a carry on without any hassle or complaint from airline companies that are getting more and more tedious to deal with. There are a few essentials that I’ll take with me while traveling:

Electronics:

My awesome MacBook Pro, my kindle e-reader, including adapters – power cords, video camera and lenses, toothbrush cords, and portable flash drives, Ipod for music, work phone, head phones my son got me

Personals:

Toiletries with smaller bags, shaving gear, toothbrushes, styling kits, sunglasses and medical prescriptions

Work:

Business cards, documents, related, reports in organized binders, notepad, journal, pens

Extras

flash lights, rain gear, snacks and my thermos

Although still having all this extra space, my items still feel compact and organized the exact way I packed it. To add, the sides are still empty and the pockets are usually where I put extra beverages I’ll pick when I am out. I’ve bought extra bags from Tumi for colleagues, bosses, extended family and my children since it’s such a reliable bag. Lastly what impresses me most is the durability. Before I got this bag, I never owned a one that didnt have a zipper break. The zippers are sturdy and you feel completely secure when traveling or doing something on the road even when your in a rush. The Tumi Alpha Bravo Knox Backpack is a great backpack to consider, for work or for leisure.

Cheers to you guys!
