Love this backpack, seems to be great for camera gear as well. You do great review as well, finally someone who reviews Tumi and seems to know something about the brand.
I got a question bro. My tumi compact brief didn’t cost me with a metal monogram area is that a flaw? It’s a regular compact laptop brief and not alpha
Alright.. So you made me buy this backpack.. had it for a few months now ! really pleased with it 🙂 I'm traveling between 100-200 days a year. And this bag is super comfortable and very spacious for all my needs. Thanks a lot for your amazing showcase of this product! Now.. can you please make a video of the Tumi esports pro crossbody back ? saw this one on your video, and I'm quite interested in it 🙂 thanks in advance ! and keep the videos coming 🙂
That is the last piece of the set, I'll try to get it done soon :) glad the video helped and you're enjoying your bag, that esport backpack is pretty irreplaceable!
Loved the review! What do you think would be the closest competitors/alternatives to a bag with similar size, quality and features in the market today?
Good question! Hard to compare this one.. Most competitors seem to be a downgrade. Nomatic makes some good bags, otherwise maybe Tenba or Thule but I haven't purchased either of those brands. Hard to beat Tumi's quality materials, and in this case, their structuring and attention to detail
Thanks for doing the review! On the website it says this doesn’t have tumi tracer, to confirm, it does come with it like you say in the video correct? Which one would you suggest between this vs the other esport vs nomadic
any wear and tear on the side pockets with that plastic material? think it will hold up over time? can you fit a regular size water bottle in them with the power bank?
Surprisingly the side 'ant-abrasive material' is really good stuff, it's holding up well. Easily holds power banks but not designed for a water bottle, they're all fabric and padded inside, not rubber-lined so it wouldn't be a good idea to store a bottle in it (especially condensation)
@@BioGear ah okay gotcha. Thanks. I keep looking around, tou mentioned to me about the esports. I like it. But I think I'll keep my Tyndall Backpack. Thanks man
This looks like the perfect bag for a flight instructor. Drop the shelf for the headset, USB C to charge the Sentry ADSB on the back right window with port on the correct side. Backup radio on the other side pouch and tablet in the sleeve section. Perfect. Now, if they only paid instructors more money 😅
I talk with my local tumi store manager and he let's me know when tumi so doing well or not. Unsure about esport sales since he isn't sent any. I hope I make the best tumi reviews on YT, maybe tumi will start sending me review units haha
@@BioGear I think we have the same taste in gear. I am thinking about picking this up to keep my blade 14, a work macbook, surface pro for wife, 15.6 inch external 4k screen, Nintendo switch, xbox elite controller, keyboard mouse etc etc organised and contained. Sounds like expanding that rear pocket will let me stack up all this stuff and contain it. We're going nomad mode for a few months. Thanks for the content
Would this be your top backpack recommendation for two laptops or is there something out there that would protect two full size laptops best (Lenovo Legion 16 inch and Dell XPS 15)? I also carry a tablet plus other items. Pretty touch niche to cover.
So this backpack has an expandable laptop compartment, making it a good choice for multiple laptops as one could go in the laptop slot and the other could be just outside of it, preferable in it's own sleeve. The tablet has its own slot as well.
They made them a long time ago and in typical Tumi fashion, they haven’t brought any good colors in years. Unfortunately I found these on eBay and haven’t seen another set since!
Just purchased this bag and I think the price was ridiculous. I currently rock a nomatic travel pack. I’m hoping this bag will not disappoint me because I do carry a Asus g15 , Wacom tablet, iPad , Nintendo switch and Sony XM4s everywhere. Plus a peak design tech pouch. It’s tough finding a bag that’s fits all this without squeezing the laptop compartment when I zip it up. I was leaning towards the Astro BP35 gaming backpack because it looks like I could hold multiple laptops but I can’t stand bags that scream gamer. Great review I’ve maybe watched it 20 times before pulling the trigger on my purchase.
Thank you! If this is your first Tumi, I think the quality will hit you first. Great materials throughout. I checked out the Astro and nomatic also, nice bags but hard to leave tumi quality anymore, same reason I haven't reviewed my razer Concourse yet. Anyway do let me know how this bag works for your kit, that's a lot of gear but sounds manageable!
I urgently need your help which one to go for (Esport Pro Large) or(Search) or (Renegade) ? Macbook16inch + Charger + power bank + headphone + notebook + mouse + 2 pair of glasses + small stuff
Of what you mentioned in your loadout, each of those backpacks will do fantastic. I picked up another Search in the new Dynamic Stitch pattern and freaking love it. However I'd never sell my esports backpack. With what you mentioned I think the Search may be a better option since it has the front pocket organizer, and can even have tumi+ accessories hang inside for more nick-nacks.
I own one and love it, i need to go ahead and review it. Depends on what you carry, suits my needs just fine because I don't pack much into main compartments
@@BioGear Thank you. Have you come across any that will fit a larger laptop? 17.3. I have a 15.6 that fits perfectly in my Tumi brief but need another Tumi for my larger laptop.
@@NQTrader10 the Nomadic almost fit my new 18" but no dice. Has to buy a Lenovo Legion armored backpack to carry it lol. I haven't tried the Endurance yet, but that is a big backpack as well.
Honestly it can probably fit a normal plastic bottle, but it's not designed to do so. There isn't a dedicated spot for a water bottle, as in, there's no plastic lined pocket that's vented for spills and condensation. The side pocket can be unzipped and accommodate a bottle, just not designed to do so and could potentially fall out if left unzipped partially. Hope that helps!
Haven't tried anything larger than the XPS 17, which is pretty much the world's smallest 17 inch laptop. The Alienware 17 wouldn't even come close to fitting.
PLEASE do the Esports Sling review. I haven't been able to find videos anywhere on it to showcase the size of all the pockets. I really like all the different compartments for the small and slim form factor. Seems perfect for traveling!
@@PBH27 to be clear you're talking about the slim sling that goes on your back, not the low hanging crossbody correct? It's a small sling indeed, very minimal.
@@BioGear Yes, the slim sling that's on the far left of your opening take. I believe it was intended for a Nintendo Switch, but I mostly like how small and minimal it is. I'm personally not a fan of larger/thicker style slings, because I only intended to use it for every day essentials. What drew me to this one is the array of pockets it has (from the photos), versus just one big compartment. I'd like to use it for Sun glasses, Airpod Pros, phone, keys, wallet, chapstick, gum, maybe a small portable battery etc)
Hi, nice channel. I have one request and that is when you do laptop compartment portion of the review can you specify if it is floating or have adequate padding on the bottom. alot of laptop bags if you put in on the ground the laptop bumps too.
Thanks for the input, Ill try to cover that. Generally Tumi backpacks have an adequate amount of padding for the laptop, but no better than a 6-8 out of 10. The gaming brands have heavier padding thay I'd feel comfortable dropping a backpack a couple feet off the ground, but not tumi. Setting down and picking up is no concern. The reason I say all this is because I've come to see that as default, so I generally forget to comment on laptop padding unless it's better or worse than the norm. I've also been asked to wear backpacks more often for a size reference so I'll do that more from now on, too 👍
i think having a laptop sleeve that's smaller than the overall backpack size will offer extra protection for the laptop by keeping it away from the edges of the bag ... this is no consolation of course if your laptop doesn't fit ... but that's why there is the 17" specific version of this bag as well, although it loses some of the pockets ... but by losing those pockets it should theoretically be able to go under airline seat ... everything is a trade-off i suppose.
I really appreciated this video as I'm considering this bag and have read that for airline travel, it's too large to fit under the seat. While I'm sure it fits in the overhead bin for standard and larger aircrafts, I'm wondering if you have any experience fitting this in the overhead bin of a smaller plane that only has two rows of seats? These would be those smaller planes with short routes for example Seattle to Portland.
I believe it fits under seats and in overhead bins just fine. Especially depth, it’s within 8”. The width from side pocket to side pocket is the biggest concern but I believe it should still fit fine in that regard. Ive travelled small jets with my Nomadic, but the esports is similar is many dimensions and shouldn’t be a concern. Give it a go if you like it :)
@@BioGear I pulled the trigger and purchased thank you! And looking at the Nomadic specs that backpack is actually larger than the esports so I'm feeling even more optimistic. I'm now wondering why you travel with your Nomadic over your esports?
@@jasonluk5995 The website is actually a liar, the width is wrong on the esports. They measured the body of the bag, not including the side pockets! So in reality the esports is wider than the nomadic, but again I don't think its anything to be concerned about.
@@BioGear thank you! Have you ever carried on both the backpack and a roller suitcase together? Mine just arrived in the mail and I've added the orange accent kit and love it! I got it to be my all occasions bag and I'm curious to know how you decide when you're going to use your Nomadic vs. Esports?
@@jasonluk5995 I actually have a blue camo suitcase that I use to pair with blue camo Nathan backpack! Personally I like to travel with nomadic more, it just feels great for air travel and touring. The esports is great for what I do on weekends so I take it with me to card shops and friends houses
Like you massive Tumi fan with many backpacks dating back to 2010, they all still look new. I bought two of these E-sports Pro Large backpacks because they are arguably one of the best bags for camera gear, even better, I find than bags designed BY camera gear companies! So wanted to make sure I had a spare as I don't think any bag like this will ever come out again. Mad I know, but I wanted to make sure I could use this bag long into the future. It is hard to know with the E-Sports line whether Tumi is continuing it as it is in stock, out of stock..... This bag has nothing to dislike if you're happy with its size. I take your point about the expanding back and not scratching a laptop, but I've used it for a hoodie or a scarf and hat when not wearing them and stuff like that, which I know won't harm my MacBook Pro. I wish Tumi would have a regular reflective option for Alpha Bravo, as the silver models they brought out with the reflective look a few years back are a huge favourite of mine. It's fantastic to see someone reviewing Tumi as you do, that actually understands the brand, its functionality and what it means in a bag. Keep up the good work!
Sorry I ended up getting so busy I forgot to reply. Good news I have been on several flights since I bought the bag both domestic and international (to Europe) and this bag is exactly the size of the space under the seat. The 2 things to consider are that the side pouches do touch on both sides so it may be slightly difficult to get it in the space but it will fit fairly easily. Also on some airlines the space does not go back far enough so may have to give up some leg room. All in all fits well. The only things I really don't like about the bag is that all the hardware for the straps are made of plastic instead of metal and that there is no chest strap. When you pay this much for a bag these things seem like they should be the default. Other then that love it.
@@iCodyonline I do! I love both. The esports pro LARGE is pretty massive, especially with the chunky side pockets. Key advantage is the shelf interior, holds a lot of stuff. The slimmer pro holds less but organizes pretty well regardless, and is far more compact to your body. Just comes down to how much junk you need to carry
@@BioGear would you mind doing a video comparing them? I currently have a 10-year-old Booq Bag (18x14x9inches) I’m looking to replace and size down. I need to carry a 16 inch MacBook, an iPad Pro, an iPad mini. One multiport wall charger and a few cables. And I agree, the hard side pockets on the large is what I believe is holding me back. On the 17 Pro, on the inside left where the USB port is how big of a zipper pocket is that? Will it fit one of the new Anker battery packs that are square?
They've had a lot of odd-ball bags come out last couple years. The esports are still some of my favorite bags though, so I'm glad they happened. Overall lately, the color choices suck and the prices got even steeper. Not positive for sure.
Tumi backpacks are more 'luxary' bags with top tier build quality and materials. I had to thoroughly inspect one before i became a fan. The nomatic camera bags are great for camera gear, and better at that than this Tumi. However as a laptop bag, tumi wins most the time I try to compare them. The price is steep for sure, so I recommend shopping around online for way better deals ;)
Wanna see more backpack videos??
How much litres of capacity does this have?
Love this backpack, seems to be great for camera gear as well. You do great review as well, finally someone who reviews Tumi and seems to know something about the brand.

500 just seems ridiculous.
Tumi backpacks are more 'luxary' bags with top tier build quality and materials. I had to thoroughly inspect one before i became a fan. The nomatic camera bags are great for camera gear, and better at that than this Tumi. However as a laptop bag, tumi wins most the time I try to compare them. The price is steep for sure, so I recommend shopping around online for way better deals ;)
@@BioGear with the really wide sides does it fit on carry on? Or under a seat?
Or is it more of a road trip kinda bag?
@@thedog5k its big, but not overbearing. It should fit under a seat with a bit of room.
