ALPAKA Elements Tote 14.5L Work Tote Bag with Internal Water Bottle Pocket

Perfect back and forth tote. I wanted something to lug all of the stuff I am often bringing back and forth to the car and don't have enough hands for - umbrellas, water bottles, kindle, paperwork for a meeting, an extra jacket, trash that needs to come out of the car, etc. This bag is perfect. When I leave the house - even just for school pick-up - it is so nice to throw in a water bottle for my son, my kindle, an umbrella bc it's suddenly raining, etc. The water bottle holders are perfect. I wanted something I could carry two water bottles in without worrying that they would tip and potentially leak onto other things. And all the other pockets are great. I use one for my kindle, one for little necessities that are nice to have out and about but I don't want to carry in my purse (lotion, wet wipes, etc), and there are spares for trash I need to take out of the car, an umbrella for rainy days, or whatever else I can think of. And then then nice pit in the middle - great for an extra jacket, a folder for documents, a laptop, a bag of takeout... whatever I don't have extra hands for! So nice to not be juggling a bunch of random things in my hands. Just a great all around tote with really nice organization that can serve so many purposes. Nice that the interior color is light or bright (depending on what you choose) so your stuff is not lost in a black pit. Highly recommend.

Great sturdy bag with a lot of pockets. I’m able to fit my MacBook Pro 16” and hold my water bottle, charger, and small bag with hard drive and things and still manages to look pretty sleek. The pockets are deep - a little too deep for my liking but still works really well. The magnetic clasp doesn’t really remain shut especially with everything I have in it, but I don’t really mind.

Great daily commuter bag. It's spacious, organized, and sturdy. It easily holds all of daily essentials (keys, phone, airpods, etc.), lunch, water bottles, kindle, and light jacket without looking bulky. The magnetic closure is handy to keep things looking sleek. The handles are comfortable both on my hands and over the shoulder. Overall pleased with this as an edc commuter. Would definitely recommend to a friend or as a gift.

This bag changed my life. It stands on its own. It has sooooo many pockets. The straps are the perfect length. Just buy it. You won’t regret it.

I've taken this bag with me for travel and to a business conference. Pros: - It's so light! It weights about as much as a canvas bag. - Light colored interior makes it easy to find items. - Medium size is roomy enough to fit my 15.6" laptop - Excellent, thoughtful organization. Very convenient and roomy pockets. I appreciate that there aren't too many random pockets and zippers for me to have trouble finding anything. - I loved using the front and back slits for items I need to pull out quickly like my phone, wallet, and business cards. - Can be dressed up or down. - Sturdy handles. I never worried about them not holding up under abuse. Cons: - The magnets are weak and don't stay closed. They didn't stay closed a single time I was carrying the bag on my shoulder. I didn't appreciate that the bag kept gaping open and giving anyone taller than me a good peek inside. - Unlike zippers, the magnets make it impossible to close the bag if it's anywhere near full. I couldn't close the bag at all when I had both my laptop and tumbler in the bag. I was worried about items falling out when I had the bag stored sideways in front of me on a plane (it did fit under the seat perfectly). - The handles are slippery, no grip. They kept slipping off my shoulders. - The twist in the handles delivered a distracting tactile experience for me. I kept thinking I should straighten the twist out. - The flat edges of the handles feel like thick and sturdy seat belts that dig into your shoulder. I'm feeling conflicted about this bag because I feel strongly about both the pros and the cons. I'm leaning towards keeping it, but now and then one of the cons will annoy me enough that I haven't discounted returning it yet. That said, I absolutely appreciate all the thought that must have gone into designing this bag. I'll happily keep a lookout for any upgraded versions of this bag. I think it's well worth the price.

I circled this bag (the medium 14.5L) for months and didn’t buy it because I felt that the photos probably weren’t a good representation of the actual size. In my opinion, I was right. I believe it’s a bit smaller than the pictures suggest, which was good news for me because I don’t want the size in the pictures. Very happy with the actual slightly (SLIGHTLY) smaller size. I know I will love this bag and am glad I took the risk, but it’d be great if Alpaka re-shot it because the confusion was maddening.

I'm a graduate student, I use Alpaka's Bravo Sling Max V2 as my daily carry on and off of campus. Since some of my duties involve teaching classes and lugging a hefty amount of books around, sometimes the sling just doesn't have enough room for my materials. Enter this tote bag. It fits perfectly within my sometimes-need to have a "throw bag" that can hold books, folders, whiteboard markers, A/V equipment, etc. The material is excellent, I needed something lightweight and waterproof since paper already weighs a ton (canvas just won't do) and it frequently rains on my campus. The handles are comfortable and thoughtfully made— I love the magnetic closure (a wonderful detail given the occasional rainstorm) and it has ample pockets for organization. What's more, the price point can't be beat for what you get. All around A+.

Nice looking Tote for swimming pool or travel. High quality and the green is actually a Iittle darker than pictured. Nice bag. Highly recommend.

オシャレで気に入った！ 次買うにしてもこのメ－カ－の商品を考える 黒と裏地が朱色な感じが良い

Amazing bag

Quality product. Would be back again

ポケットの使い勝手がとても良いです。 夏場の水分補給に水筒を4本持参して、いつでも冷たい物を補給してます。 自販機がない場所でも安心だし、なにより安く済むし、好きな物を飲めます。 このバッグな内ポケットに水筒を差し込んでおくと倒れないし、水筒同士がぶつかる音もしません。 バッグ自体が結構自立してくれるところも、デザイン、色も気に入っています。 もう少し大きくなれば、着替えもはいるので、猛暑の夏の仕事中も、これひとつですみます。

Con múltiples compartimentos y bolsillo especial para celular. No se puede decir nada malo,lo único que tenía que haber comprado la talla L pq la M para hacer la compra,enseguida se queda corto,pero para EDC es una maravilla,tiene mucho vicio,en el buen sentido jeje
