I was so excited when ALPAKA reached out asking if I wanted to review this bag. As you know, my channel is dedicated to reviewing travel and photography tech. I have been spending most of my hobby time (and money) on this channel. I was actually looking at picking this bag up for myself even before they reached out.

I was initially looking to use this simply in my personal life as my go-to bag for hitting the town. A way for me to hit up a coffee shop or book store and take my laptop with me. So far this has been the perfect fit. I don't have any plans to make this my travel bag.

Exterior

The exterior is made of a very smooth water resistant material. I have had no issues with this material collecting any unwanted dust or dirt. I have had this issue in the past with bags from other brands.

The outside is home to the main top handles that classify it as a tote but it also hides two backpack straps incase you would like to use this bag for longer walks. The backpack straps are thin but well padded. I have had no discomfort using them.

There is a small water bottle holder on the side which I personally use with a small umbrella as there is a spot for a water bottle on the inside.

Overall, I think the exterior construction is well made and looks professional.

Interior

The interior is lined with light gray which is always a nice touch. I hate when a bag had a dark interior which makes it difficult to find small items. There are two main compartments. One on the front to keep items like notepads, chargers, and pens organized.

The larger compartment has plenty of room for a laptop and a tablet. In my case I have my framework laptop and book.

This main compartment is where the water bottle holder is kept.

Overall I think this is a very solid bag. I was super excited to receive this bag and put it through it's test. For now, it stays my go to bag for hitting the town.
