Customer reviews

I actually will return

Great Travel bag. It may be small, but fits a lot of things (full size water bottle) along with all of my travel must haves.

All around good quality and beautiful. Would have gotten another one just to keep if they had any more at the sale price.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Perfect size for a tablet and/or a day around town. Always Tumi quality.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I got this to pack for a hiking trip in Sedona. It comes with a compact case, so it’s easy to pack. Even though the straps are thin and unpadded, I found it really comfortable.

Gourgeus travel bag

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Light and strong

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Love this bag! Nice size for a small backpack and great for travel!

9 Best Tumi Backpacks: Reviewed For Stylish Travellers

TUMI has brand recognition because it's known for producing attractive, high-quality bags that cater to the needs of anyone from a business person to a traveler who doesn't want to compromise on style. In this article, there are nine TUMI backpack reviews of the most popular models offered by the TUMI brand.

Through this article you'll be able to see why TUMI is (or, possibly, isn't) the right brand for you, and you can develop a better sense of which is the best TUMI backpack for you.

Tumi Backpacks Compared 

What makes the tumi brand so popular.

New Jersey entrepreneur Charlie Clifford founded TUMI (its full name is TUMI Holdings, Inc.) in 1975 after he returned from a Peace Corps mission in Peru. Nostalgically, he named the company after a Peruvian knife used for religious sacrifices.

TUMI bags and accessories are made from top-notch materials and the manufacturing process is ensured excellent by extensive product testing. Each TUMI travel backpack is put through 30 tests, including four different colorfastness tests and also a variety of strength tests for every part of the bag—including the zippers and handles.

TUMI is known to have snob appeal. Its products are relatively expensive and are slick looking and businesslike.

However, TUMI also boasts ethical corporate practices, such as: good employee treatment (benefits, fair pay, good working conditions) extensive charity donations (especially to St. Jude’s Children’s Research Hospital) and environmental consciousness (they're 95% of the way to their goal of eliminating PVCs in all products and have a rigorous recycling policy). All things considered, despite relatively high prices, TUMI gives good value.

Who are TUMI backpacks made for?

TUMI makes bags and related accessories perfect for the corporate professional and/or high-class traveller. Their products are generally for adults (men and women) and have a clean-cut, strong look to them that suggests high-quality and appeals to the business-minded. These bags are a status symbol.

It's not all just a display of affluence and corporate strength, though. TUMI makes a point of designing bags to truly meet the businessperson or corporate traveller’s needs. Each bag has a compartmentalized structure to make it easy to get to what you need when you need it.

Many of their bags have structures that allow you to easily fix other bags to the TUMI. Special high-tech features make air travel no fuss, and many of the backpacks have a shape that makes them perfect carry-on bags. You can even use these bags as foot rests on your plane ride, if you want to.

TUMI is the ideal airplane pack - for carry-on or checked luggage - with its TSA-approved T-Pass® system. With this system you have the security of a good lock system and the convenience of being able to leave your laptop in your bag during your airport check-in. TUMI offers 4 different styles of TSA lock: padlock, integrated lock, low-profile integrated lock, and snap-latch lock.

TUMI also makes all of their packs act as wallet shields against identity theft. The bags’ pocket linings are made of material to block RFID (radio frequency identification) used by identify thieves.

TUMI make bags for people of all ages, as Helen Mirren proved stepping out with her elegant TUMI number recently, dismissing critical comments that backpacks are for younger people. I'm with Helen on this one. There's definitely no such thing as being too old to wear a backpack. 

What We Looked At: Buyer's Guide For Tumi Bags

Regarding its make and materials, TUMI says: “We regard each component—from the smallest, case-hardened solid steel machine screw to our exclusive, virtually abrasion-proof FXT™ Ballistic Nylon® fabric— of each item as if it were the most important” (TUMI.com).

In addition, TUMI has a number of other excellent material features, including Tegris®, a synthetic material with high impact resistance, the Omega Closure System® which allows the zipper pull to detach from the zipper should it get caught (preventing damage to the whole zipper system), the X-Brace 45® handle system, made of aircraft grade aluminum that's strong and light.

Many TUMI bags are leather-trimmed. They're water-resistant, not waterproof.

TUMI has created its own patented articulating shoulder straps. The straps contain metal joints between the strap and the shoulder pad that make the strap slip-free. The adjustable shoulder straps are padded with breathable mesh and are quite comfortable. Most backpacks have a carrying hook on top.

Each backpack on the list below comes in one size. All of these packs are somewhere in the small to medium-sized range. Generally, liter volumes are not reported, but dimensions in inches are.

Compartments

Plentiful compartments are one of TUMI’s strong points. All the backpacks on the list below have at least 5 compartments.

In fact, there are so many compartments of various kinds that it's challenging to report an exact number in most cases (with dividers and pouches of various kinds, it can be unclear what counts as a “compartment”).

Most TUMI backpacks have a laptop section that can fit a 15’’ laptop easily. Unfortunately, some don't have bottle holders, but many users find that other compartments or just the general spaciousness of the main compartment makes up for this.

Style Options

Backpacks are divided into men’s and women’s. Most users feel that the appearance of the bags coincide well with the gender for which they're intended.

Most backpacks come in about 4 different color patterns. Some users do complain that they wish there were more. However, many report that they repeatedly receive compliments on their TUMI backpack.

TUMI Tracer Technology

At present, Samsonite owns TUMI . There are 260 TUMI retailers in the world. Each site offers monogramming and minor repair services. In addition, if you register with the TUMI Tracer® product recovery program, the company can recover a lost bag anywhere in the world.

TUMI T-Pass

With TUMI T-Pass technology, you can leave your laptop in your backpack when going through TSA. The customs officers can scan your laptop through the internal sleeve. This feature greatly protects your laptop while you're traveling.

Yes, there's a 1-year limited “worry-free” warranty for all TUMI products, guaranteed for almost all sorts of damage. Then, there's a 5-year warranty for all bags (including backpacks) that covers any damage due to poor manufacturing. Superficial (“cosmetic”) damage, damage from abuse, and damage not related to the bag itself (lost time, inconvenience, etc.) are not covered by either warranty period.

Some users suggest that the company doesn't live up to its warranty agreements very well. However, others claim that the customer service and warranty system is fabulous. If you're very concerned about what might or might not be under warranty, it would be worthwhile to make an inquiry to TUMI’s responsive customer service.

9 Best TUMI Backpacks Reviewed

Tumi women's backpacks, 1. tumi voyageur calais.

Best For Travel

• Waterproof = Water-Resistant
• Number of Compartments = 7 +
• Laptop Sleeve = Yes
• Size = Small-Medium
• Warranty = 5-Year

The Voyageur Calais has a size and shape that's ideal for the traveling woman. With its many pockets, relatively small volume (5.5 x 12.25 x 16 inches) and light weight (1.69 lbs), it's the perfect carry-on bag or day travel bag. There are 4 available color patterns.

Multiple users report that they receive compliments on their TUMI leather backpack all the time. It's trimmed in leather, has a leather top carry handle. It has simple, adjustable shoulder straps, and TUMI’s Add-A-Bag feature, allowing it to slip onto the handles of a rolling suitcase.

Even with all the divisions and pockets, the Voyageur Calais manages to be spacious. One user indicates that the padded laptop compartment could probably hold two 15’’ laptops.

In addition to the laptop compartment, there are two open pockets for devices, cords, and personal items in the main compartment. The exterior has U-shaped pockets on each side and a front pocket for the items you want to access quickly. While there's no actual bottle compartment, many users feel the spaciousness and organization of the bag generally makes up for this.

One added bonus for the traveling woman is that the Calais is easy to wipe clean and easy to fold up and put in another bag if you don't need it.

• Add-A-Bag feature for use with rolling luggage
• Easy to clean material
• Padded laptop compartment
• Four color options available
• No water bottle holder
• Not ideal for long trips due to its size

2. Tumi Voyageur Just In Case Travel 

Best For Day Trips

• Number of Compartments = 2 +
• Laptop Sleeve = No
• Size = Small

The Voyageur Just In Case Travel backpack is another great carry-on bag for women. It's lightweight (one user enthusiastically says, “super lightweight!”) and small in size (15.5 inches high and 12.25 inches wide).

This TUMI travel backpack has the Add-A-Bag sleeve, which allows it to slip onto the telescoping handles of a suitcase. In this way, it's also a great way to be able to carry more without being encumbered by lots of bags. An added bonus is that it easily folds and can be packed away itself. 

The Voyageur Just In Case is a little cheaper than some of the other TUMI backpacks, another reason it's a great extra bag. It a great bag to have, as the name suggests, just in case, if you find yourself in need of extra space. Therefore, the Just In Case isn't such a good business pack. It doesn't have as many pouches, nor does it have a laptop sleeve.

Unlike many other TUMI products, it isn't made of the wallet shield material. However, the simplicity is what makes it useful as an extra bag or as a backpack for those with only simple needs. Despite its small size, the Just In Case is reported to be roomy.

• Super lightweight
• Less expensive than other TUMI backpacks
• Can be attached to a rolling suitcase
• Small and compact
• No laptop sleeve included
• It's not made of wallet-shield material

3. Tumi Voyageur Halle 

Best Carry-On Backpack

• Number of Compartments = 6 +

The Voyageur Halle is a great backpack for petite women who don't have to carry too much. This pack is 14.25’’ high and 10.75” wide, and like many TUMI products, it's noticeably lightweight. It has a streamlined, but feminine, look and is available in 5 colors. 

This TUMI women's backpack is extremely versatile, and the perfect size for carry-on. It has sufficient pouches to double as business bag or a TUMI backpack purse.

It has a leather carry handle on the top and simple adjustable straps and has the Add-A-Bag feature so that it can attach to rolling luggage. It does have a laptop pocket, but it's only for a relatively small laptop (12’’ but many users claim it will fit 13”). 

Some users complain of its lack of bottle holder, but in general, most feel that the bag’s spaciousness and organization make up for this. It has a substantial zippered front pocket with organizers and a small flat zip pocket directly above it.

• Great carry-on size
• Leather carry handle
• Five color options
• Laptop sleeve included
• Laptop sleeve won't fit larger laptops

4. Tumi Voyageur Nadia Convertible 

Best Convertible Bag

• Number of Compartments = 3 +

The Voyageur Nadia Convertible is so called because it can convert from a backpack to a sling bag when the straps are zipped together into one. The straps are also adjustable. It's a great day pack for a petite woman. Most users especially seem to like it as a summer bag.

It has a simple casual look while also being feminine and upscale in appearance. With its small size (2x9.5x14.75 inches), it's great for petite women. While it doesn't have a laptop sleeve, some users indicate that you can fit a laptop if you really want to, but it's not really a work bag (or at least not by itself). 

This TUMI backpack purse comes in a couple different color options, so you can pair it with your favorite summer dress.

The Nadia Convertible has sufficient organizational compartments, inside and out, including a large zippered front pocket, an open pocket and a media pocket.

• Compact for day trips
• Large zippered front pocket
• Media pocket included
• Adjustable straps
• No laptop sleeve
• Not ideal for carrying a large capacity

5. Tumi Voyageur Ari T-Pass

Best For Laptops

• Waterproof = Water-Resistant, And 1 Waterproof Compartment

However, the bag must be packed so that the laptop section isn't blocked from the scanner. Despite its larger size, the Ari T-Pass is also a good carry-on bag. When it comes to compartments, the Ari T-Pass is king. On its exterior, it has 2 side ample side pockets, a large zippered front pocket, one of which is waterproof and has an air vent, ideal for keeping beverages and a discreet smartphone pocket.

On the interior, it has ample space in addition to the T-Pass laptop compartment. The Ari T-Pass has a top carrying loop. Its straps are adjustable and cushioned enough to make even a heavy load feel comfortable. It has the Add-A-Bag feature so that it can be attached to a rolling suitcase or large luggage.

At a glance, the Ari T-Pass may look quite unisex with its larger size and utilitarian build. however, the gilded zipper gives it a feminine touch.

• Attaches to rolling luggage
• Includes TUMI T-Pass
• Large waterproof front pocket
• Water bottle holder
• Might be too large

TUMI Men's Backpacks

6. tumi alpha bravo davis .

Best For Work

• Number of Compartments = 5 +
• Size = Medium-Large

The Alpha Bravo Davis backpack is an ideal working commuter bag . It has adjustable shoulder straps and a top carrying loop, and for the air traveller, it's a perfect carry-on bag.

It comes in 3 colors, all of which maintain its masculine aesthetic. This is a relatively large backpack (4.25x11.5x16.5 inches and 2.75 lbs.) with an ample 15’’ laptop compartment that some users claim can hold a 17’’ laptop. 

The other pockets of the Alpha Bravo Davis are especially designed for tablet, cards, and pens, and naturally, there's plenty of room in the main compartment for whatever other personal items are needed. It also has a key leash and an Add-A-Bag sleeve so that it can be connected to a rolling suitcase.

The Alpha Bravo Davis doesn't have a beverage holder, but most users feel that the bags other attributes make up for this. In their review, DA MAN magazine called this backpack 'meticulously durable and incredibly spacious'. High praise indeed!

• Super durable
• Attaches to any rolling suitcase
• Includes a key leash
• Top carrying loop
• No beverage holder
• Only 3 color options available

7. Tumi Mixology 

Best For EDC

The Mixology backpack could be considered a very luxurious novelty item. It has practical features such as a laptop sleeve and compartments for small personal items and devices. More importantly, it has a compartment especially made to hold a 1 oz. and 2 oz. jigger, a shaker, and a spoon.

These items are included with the backpack, thanks to a holiday collaboration between TUMI and Ketel One Vodka—this explains this backpack’s name. The bag is relatively large in volume and somewhat heavy for a TUMI bag.

However, it's made to look like an Italian trunk. It's a work of art inside and out. On Amazon, this lovely bag is listed with only one color option, but it's beautiful: Early Grey. Obviously, this is a piece that can bring joy to both professional and enthusiastic amateur mixologists.

• Includes a laptop sleeve
• Compartments for common mixology tools
• Includes a spoon, shaker, 1 and 2 oz jigger
• Collaboration with Ketel One vodka
• Only one color option
• Heavier than other options

8. Tumi Alpha Bravo Smith Sling 

No products found.

Best Sling Backpack

• Waterproof = Water-Resistant, But As Waterproof Pouch

The Alpha Bravo Smith Sling is the perfect man bag, if you will. It's really too small to be a work bag and it has no laptop sleeve or even space to put a laptop, as its dimensions are 5.13x9.75x14.25 inches and its weight is 1lb. 12oz.

This backpack has one adjustable strap down the back, making it a nonconvertible sling bag. As compartmentalization and organization go, however, it excels. It has a waterproof side pocket that's suitable as a bottle holder. 

One feature we liked about this bag is its versatility. You can easily carry this to work, school, or even out for drinks. It keeps all your belongings close to your body while you're on the go.

In addition to the main compartment, it has yet another zippered side pocket, front pocket, tablet pocket, 2 card pockets, a key leash, and a pen loop.

• Waterproof side pocket
• Tablet pocket
• Storage for cards
• No space for a laptop 
• Might be too small for some

9. Tumi Alpha London Roll-Top 

Best For Every Day Use

• Waterproof = Water-Resistant, But One Waterproof Pouch
• Size = Medium Large

The Alpha London Roll-Top backpack has all the right features to be a great carry-on bag, or even, a small suitcase, for a man. It's spacious, at 6x14x19 inches in volume. One user observes that it's not such a good work bag, because it has relatively little organizational features for its size, but this very trait makes it ideal as a short-term suitcase.

In fact, it does have compartments. It has a 15’’ laptop sleeve a zippered wall between 2 main compartments, and pockets for tablet, cards, and more. It also has a key leash and one of its side pockets is waterproof and breathable, making it a good beverage holder. Furthermore, it has comfortable padded straps.

The Alpha London comes in 3 color patterns and has a slightly rough-hewn look, instead of a clean-cut office look. In this way, it's a different masculine look from the others on this list.

• Can be used as a short-term suitcase
• 15-inch laptop sleeve
• Two main compartments
• Waterproof side pockets
• Does not have as much storage for small items
• Roll-top may not be for everyone

How Do These Models Compare?

The smallest backpacks on this list are the Men’s Alpha Bravo Smith Sling backpack and the Women’s Voyageur Nadia and Halle backpacks. The largest are the Men’s Alpha London Roll-Top and the Women’s Voyageur Calais and Ari T-Pass. In general, the men’s backpacks are a little larger than the women’s.

The priciest backpack on this list is the Mixology, perhaps partly due to the included mixology tools. The high price could also reflect holiday demand for a fun gift. The cheapest on the list is the Voyageur Just In Case, probably due to its simple design.

Functionality

The best work backpacks on the list are the Men’s Alpha Bravo Davis and the Women’s Voyageur Calais. The Men’s Alpha London Roll-Top Women’s Ari T-Pass are slightly better suited for worker who travels often. The Men’s Alpha Bravo Smith Sling and the Women’s Nadia Convertible are ideal for the role of purse or day bag.

People Also Ask (FAQs)

Are tumi backpacks waterproof.

No, but they are water-resistant. They're not meant for rugged expeditions. These backpacks are strong for air, train, or car travel. Some of them have a small waterproof compartment, though.

What are some of the colors available?

For most of the backpacks in the list above, black is the most common color. In several cases, black appears to be the only color offered. However, depending on the model, you can choose from Anthracite, Ocean Blue, Grey, Reflective Silver, Crimson, Mint, Earl Grey, and more.

I need a large backpack. Will this brand be good for me?

As the TUMI luggage reviews above show, these backpacks are generally medium or small in size. However, users reported that they're spacious, even more than they should be for their apparent size. That said, if you want a really huge backpack for camping or backpacking, these are probably not big enough. They're not designed for these uses, anyway.

Can you take this backpack + a carry-on bag on airplanes?

Most likely, yes. Especially if it's one of the medium to small backpacks listed above. In fact, most airlines would probably allow and have space for all of the listed backpacks, either in the overhead compartment or under the seat. All of these backpacks are designed for this purpose, really.

How do you wash or clean a TUMI backpack?

First, you can always just wipe dirt off with a dry cloth or brush. If polishing is needed, TUMI offers specific polishes for their products. Most notably, for the ballistic nylon cloth of your backpack, you can use TUMI nylon fabric refresher. Just apply it to the soiled area and wipe off with a dry cloth.

There's also TUMI leather conditioner, but be cautious. This product is not for suede and must be used in small amounts and carefully on some special types of TUMI leather backpacks. To use the conditioner, first shake the product and test a small amount on a discreet area. If it works, then apply to the soiled area, let dry, then wipe off with a dry cloth.

Where can you buy TUMI backpacks at cheaper prices or on sale?

Generally, Amazon has the best prices for TUMI backpacks. Furthermore, under the right circumstances, you can get one of these backpacks for 10% or more less than the listed price on Amazon. However, Neiman Marcus and Luggage Pros, and Nordstrom also offer reasonable prices.

Many might protest that TUMI backpacks are beautiful but they can't really be worth the price. Actually, their incredible durability, airport- and airplane-oriented features, fastidious customer service, and their classy look might make them a great value, after all.

Also, for those who really love to get compliments, TUMI products will impress—whether the other person knows the brand or not.

Tumi adds Nelly Korda and Ludvig Aberg as brand’s first golf ambassadors

Travel is obviously a huge part of being a professional golfer, with pros on the road upwards of 30 weeks out of the year—and amateurs following suit with their own golf travel plans.

Now it has its sights set on the pros. Tumi has just announced it would be working with Nelly Korda and Ludvig Aberg as their exclusive luggage partners. Both will carry Tumi luggage and backpacks on tour and in travel.

More from Golf Digest

“There’s a lot of synergy between Tumi as a brand and how I approach my game. … We share the same drive for perfection,” Korda said. “It’s a partnership that truly feels like the perfect fit.”

Korda and Aberg will have the opportunities to add even more Tumi -protected hardware to their collections this season, as Tumi was selected to design custom trophy cases for three upcoming events—the Tour Championship for the PGA Tour, and the Solheim Cup and CME Group Tour Championship for the LPGA.

A first for both tours, these trophy cases align with Tumi's reputation for luxurious, durable and thoughtful design. Each case is meticulously made with aircraft-grade aluminum and the brand’s signature 19 Degree rib detailing—inspired by the popular 19 Degree Aluminum Collection.

Inside the case, velvet lines the base and back wall and mirrors on the side panels elevate the unboxing experience and inspire future viewers to see themselves in possession of the trophy next.

“Millions of travelers around the world choose Tumi to protect what they value most every day,” said Victor Sanz, Tumi Creative Director. “We’re thrilled to bring that renowned strength and design ingenuity to protecting these trophies, which symbolize years of hard work, dedication, and passion from top players in the sport.”

When you're going on a trip, packing your bags scratches a very specific mental itch. Do you like breezing to your gate with only minutes to spare, bypassing the checked-baggage line and sweeping through the Global Entry prescreened traveler security lane? Are you on a business trip and bringing makeup and camera-ready clothes? Or are you traveling with small children and struggling to keep track of all their stuffies, snacks, grandparent gifts, and innumerable electronics cords for tiny headphones and remote-controlled sharks?

In the past year, I've flown and driven thousands of miles. I've hopped on quick flights for work, struggled through cross-country travel with my spouse and kids, and cinched duffel bags on the rooftop rack of my car for weekend trips. The WIRED Gear team and I have taken all these bags on at least two flights minimum, overstuffed them, checked them, shoved them into overhead bins, hastily unpacked and repacked them in car trunks and on airport floors, and most importantly, let our children ride on them from baggage claim to the Uber. Whether you're slinging a duffel into a car trunk for a weekend trip or packing for a whirlwind jaunt across Asia, we've got you covered. Need a bag for your passport or groceries? Don't forget to check out our other guides, like the Best Laptop Backpacks , Best Laptop Totes , and the Best Recycled Bags , for more picks.

Updated July 2024: We added the Rimowa carry on, the Beis carry on, the Tumi Velocity backpack, the Lojel Cubo Large, the Aer carry on, the State Logan carry on, and the Calpak medium checked luggage. We also updated the information on sizing and checked links and prices.

The Best Carry-On for Most People

Away's business practices may have raised some eyebrows , but there's no denying that this company changed the travel market entirely. It has increased in price since we first tested it, but multiple WIRED staffers still use the classic Away hard-shell carry-on ( 9/10, WIRED Recommends ) as their travel suitcase.

The classic Away carry-on has a light, polycarbonate shell, so there's not as much give in the case. However, hardshell suitcases look a lot sleeker than their soft-shell counterparts and protect fragile items better. The Away weighs 7.5 pounds, which is pretty standard for a hard-shell carry-on. When I tested it, I liked that it had multiple height settings and that the polycarbonate shell wiped clean and stayed mostly scuff-free (it helped that my tester was in the darker navy color). Away's suitcases also come with a built-in TSA-approved combination lock, four spinner wheels capable of rotating 360 degrees, and an included laundry bag to keep dirty clothes separate from the rest of your stuff. The handle did feel a bit wobbly, though.

★ Alternatives: We've tried similar suitcases by Monos ($255) and July ($295) . July's aluminum bumpers protect fragile belongings, but they do add weight. The Monos's handle rolls out more smoothly, but the July's pebbled surface doesn't show scuffs as badly. I have checked both of these suitcases multiple times on multiple cross-country trips, and both have also been ridden by two small children with no damage.

An Upgraded Carry-On

As the Away's ubiquity shows, it works perfectly well for the vast majority of people. But if you find flying to be as unpleasant an experience as I do, a few upgrades might be worth the expense to make it more endurable. We think two recent luggage launches are worth your attention. Reviewer Nena Farrell loves the viral Beis carry-on , which, in addition to coming in a variety of cute, distinctive colors, has extras like a cushy handle, a built-in weight gauge, and a retractable strap that lets you clip a backpack or duffel to the front, in case your personal item doesn't have a pass-through.

I also recently tested Aer’s latest luggage launch. I like Aer’s better than Beis' for a few reasons. The design is sleeker, without ridges to attract scratches and dirt. Although I rolled and spun it side by side with Calpak, July, and Monos luggage, I did not find that Aer's Hinamoto ball bearing system rolled more quietly or smoothly. However, Aer's carry-on has wheel locks. This was crucial when I found myself in the luggage section of a rental shuttle, trying to manage four four-wheeled suitcases on an overcrowded ride from the airport to the rental car outpost while my spouse and children relaxed in the last three remaining seats. As someone who tends to just toss an AirTag into the shoe pocket of their luggage, where it accidentally falls out halfway across the world, I also like the tiny dedicated AirTag pocket.

★ Alternative: If sustainability is your bag (haha), Paravel offers an Aviator carry-on ($425) that touts itself as the world's first carbon-neutral carry-on; it has an interior lining made of recycled plastic bottles, a telescoping handle made of recycled aluminum, and vegan leather trim to help it stand out from all the plain black bags at the airport. Reviewer Jaina Grey fell in love with its roomy interior and durable, anti-scuff hard-shell exterior.

Best Budget Carry-On

Look around any airport—if you see flight attendants or pilots, they will probably be rolling around a Travelpro suitcase. We like Travelpros because you get a lot of bang for your buck. They're durable, light, and not too expensive.

For only a little over $100, the Maxlite 5 is one of the more affordable Travelpro suitcases, and at 5.4 pounds, it's very light! The exterior toiletry pocket is a nice touch for when you go through security and need to take out your liquids, and the zippers are also quite strong and don't tend to get stuck. The wheels also rolled nicely on both the spinner and roll-aboard versions. Reviewer Matt Jancer did note that the aluminum handle extensions did sometimes stick and the main grab handle on the bag is only single-stitched, which may cause durability issues farther down the line. However, he has seen no issues yet. This probably the best bag you can get in the $100 to $150 price range.

Best Aluminum Bag

The publicist who sent me the iconic Rimowa carry-on for testing warned me that it had been used for promotional photos and might have "some minor patina." This comment was offered with mild apology which I assured her was unnecessary; getting a Rimowa with a few scratches and dings is like buying a preseasoned cast iron pan. Rimowa cases have a cult following among travelers precisely because of how elegantly they wear their miles. The whole point of these nearly indestructible anodized aluminum boxes is to batter them in Bali, scrape them up in Sicily, then cover the wounds in stickers. In fact, a vintage Rimowa with dings and vintage stickers will probably cost you more on eBay than new, though it's more fun to make every dent yourself. I tested the bag on a trip to New York and appreciated the fine-tuned details in construction (the seal is tight enough I had no qualms about it sitting on a rainy tarmac) and, especially, the uncommon confidence and balance of the roller wheels. The Rimowa feels indestructible, and every attempt to break it only improves that patina, which makes it an ideal travel companion. —Martin Cizmar

Best Checked Bag

For a large checked bag, Lojel's Cubo Large has one feature that was invaluable. It has a flat-top opening, which means you can open it like a box, instead of swinging out both sides like a clamshell. I could not believe how much easier this made it to access all of our stuff. On a recent family vacation, I checked the Cubo Large, put it in the trunk of a Chrysler Pacifica, drove to my brother's house, drove to the beach, and kept four peoples' items organized in one hotel room for a week. I could open the suitcase and grab my kid's sandals without pulling the whole suitcase out of the trunk. Once we got to our destination, it took up half as much floor space as any other suitcase. When it weighed about a pound over the checked bag weight limits, I could discreetly unzip it and take out my Chacos without opening a clamshell and displaying all my belongings for all of United's employees to see.

Granted, the stitching on the interior organizational pockets is not so solid for the price. My kids almost instantly busted the button that holds the lid up. Also, a 10-year warranty sounds good, but almost every other manufacturer offers a limited lifetime warranty that covers common problems, like broken zippers. However, this flat-top opening is a great feature that's worth recommending, especially if you have large, awkward items that wouldn't fit in one side of a clamshell suitcase.

★ Alternative: On this trip, I also checked the Calpak Evry Medium Luggage ($245) , and it did the job for half the price. It has a polycarbonate shell, interior organizational pockets, and a TSA-approved lock.

Best Backpack

Tumi’s iconic, expensive backpacks are the platonic ideal for airplane travel. The latest one is the Velocity, which is a collaboration with McLaren Automotive, and the sleek design is meant to evoke the aerodynamic lines of McLaren's racing cars. The shell is made from CX6, a type of woven carbon fiber that is engineered to be both super strong and incredibly light. This means that the bag has a firm structure that doesn't look saggy when it's empty, or stuffed like a turkey when it's full. It can fit a surprising amount of stuff—just unzip the front panel and it swings open like a glove compartment.

Like a lot of Tumi's backpacks, it comes with a bunch of travel-related extras, like a luggage tag, an add-a-bag sleeve, and a luggage-inspired leather grip handle. The padded laptop compartment fits laptops up to 15 inches (although surprisingly, the compartment is not suspended, so be careful putting it down). I filled it full of books and dragged it on our concrete walk, and I still couldn't scratch the surface. In keeping with the bag's slim profile, however, the water bottle pockets are extremely tight. It's also a little embarrassing flying with a $1,600 backpack in economy. Tumi has a wide array of equally attractive and useful laptop backpacks for less than half the price.

Best Kids Suitcase

For the past two years, I've found myself being the lone parent while flying with my two children, now 7 and 9. Unfortunately, trying to cheap out on my kids' suitcases has resulted in a garage full of dead luggage. My children busted the zippers on this generic rolling backpack off Amazon (which was much cheaper than when I bought it) almost instantly. The Target version is only 6 pounds and very cute, but the plastic shell and hardware is as fragile as a bird egg.

I would've saved so much time, aggravation, and money if I'd just bought them both State bags at the start. The Logan comes in a mini, carry-on, and checked size, and the carry-on has more or less the same dimensions as my carry-on. However, it has a number of child-friendly features. The prints are amazing; my kids love theirs. The front pocket is big enough for a snack box and their iPads, which means I can quickly usher them to their seats and unpack everything into the front pocket. There are two straps on the side that are ideal for tucking in Yellow Blanky and Truck Blanky when we have to move quickly at the gate. And it still weighs less than my own carry-on.

Best Convertible Bag

Every serious traveler knows the name of Seattle-based Tom Bihn, manufacturer of bomber bags that will last you a lifetime. The Aeronaut 45 is the classic Tom Bihn convertible carry-on, which the size of the maximum allowable carryon bag on a plane.

You get everything from a Tom Bihn bag that you pay for. It’s made of incredibly sturdy 1050 denier ballistic nylon, with bombproof YKK zippers. It has both hidden backpack straps and an extremely comfortable cross-body strap. This is commerce director Martin Cizmar's bag, and he's tossed it around and lugged it down rough streets and through crowds where roller bags are a liability. He owns two and the first lasted for more than a decade. This is the bag that both he and I would use, if we didn't have to constantly test other bags.

Best Lifetime Bag

Do you only want to buy one suitcase and never think about it, ever again? Briggs & Riley is one of the few companies with a lifetime unlimited warranty. I bought a Briggs & Riley carry-on as my first and only post-college purchase. Right now, it has lasted over 20 years. Periodically, I bring it into the one Briggs & Riley-approved dealership in my town to get a zipper pull put back on, and it's fixed for free in a few days. Its components are top-of-the-line. The face fabric is a heavy-duty ballistic nylon that’s water-repellent and abrasion-resistant. After having been dragged all over the globe, from the Philippines to Turkey to Iceland, the gleaming red is just as bright. The low-profile wheels nor handles have never broken. The grab handles are also luxuriously smooth and padded, and there's an interior folding garment bag for my husband's suits. The only downside is that at 9.3 pounds, it’s pretty heavy.

★ Alternatives: If you need an absolutely bomber-tough rolling suitcase and don't mind its 9.6-pound weight, the Pro Front-Access Carry ($799) will stand up to more abuse than most rolling bags, with its aluminum frame and 70-percent-recycled polycarbonate body. WIRED reviewer Chris Haslam says it's his favorite rolling bag in years. Jancer also likes Travelpro's Platinum Elite carry-on ($315) , which he calls one of the most high-end polycarbonate bags on the market.

Best Soft-Shell Carry-On

Yeti's coolers and cups are famous for being bomb-proof. The company recently launched a luggage line that's similarly overbuilt. The Yeti Crossroads 35L is a 22-inch roller bag that's carry-on size for most major airlines. It weighs 7.7 pounds, on par with soft-sided competitors of the same size.

I recently spent a week dragging the Crossroads up and down grimy subway station escalators, thumping it across cobblestones, and scrunching it into overfull overhead bins during a trip to London, Paris, and Brussels. The blue 700D nylon on the front and sides looks just as fresh as it did out of the box while the molded polycarbonate shell on the back has a few well-earned battle scratches. The two extra-large fixed wheels are rolling as smoothly as ever and hopped up curbs so well that I grew to favor them over smaller spinner wheels. The Crossroads has a half-dozen well-placed pockets and sturdy zippers that didn't give me any anxiety even as I tugged them hard while smooshing down to fit souvenirs into a carry-on with 8 days of clothing. —Martin Cizmar

Best Work Bag

The bag that I prefer for my personal item on work trips is the Lo & Sons O.G. 2, which is the larger version of the brand's Nouvelle purse ( 8/10, WIRED Recommends ). It comes in a medium and a large version; the medium is adequate as an everyday bag, but the large turns it into a versatile work/travel bag. It’s low-profile and has both smooth leather grab handles as well as a shoulder strap. I have kicked it under plane seats and around airports, and the nylon doesn't show any damage. There's a hidden separate compartment if you spill water on yourself, and it has sturdy feet so you can put it on an airplane bathroom counter and dig for your makeup without it falling over or getting the bottom of the bag too disgusting. The toothed zippers do tend to crinkle and snatch at your knuckles when the bag gets overstuffed, but I suppose you could always, uh, avoid overstuffing your bag.

★ Alternatives: We have plenty of recommendations in our guide to the Best Laptop Totes . L.L. Bean's boat tote ($35) is the iconic affordable, durable pick, but gear director Michael Calore's pick is the roomy zip hunter's tote ($55) .

Best Duffel Bag

The Big Haul ( 8/10, WIRED Recommends ) is our favorite duffel because it hits the right balance of robust build materials and pockets without being too heavy to lug around all day. The standout feature of the Big Haul series, which comes in 28-liter to 120-liter options, is the ability to easily reposition the carrying straps, which feature plastic fishhook-style ends that slip into fabric loops. You can connect one strap end-to-end or double up on two straps in an H pattern for more stability with heavy loads. Adding and removing the straps isn't super fast, but it's not difficult, either, and six low-profile loops seems less intrusive than six rattling plastic buckles.

Two small interior pockets and an exterior pocket keep small things organized, and its water-resistant fabric is thick and tough without being stiff. All the sewing around the grab handles feels very robust too. Padded backpack straps hide away under a padded pocket on the top of the bag. This means that when you sling the Big Haul over your shoulders to give your arms a rest, your back is against the relatively clean top of the duffel, rather than a wet, dirty bottom side that's been set down on the ground. The current iteration of the Big Haul is also made with recycled nylon. What's not to love? —Matt Jancer

★ Alternative: For slightly more money, the classic duffel in this category is the Patagonia Black Hole Duffel ($159) , which also comes in a variety of colorways and sizes. You can either carry it by the grab handles or with the shoulder straps, and it's made from 100 percent recycled polyester with a TPU-film laminate. I (Adrienne) have had the 40-liter version for almost 15 years now and the laminate has yet to peel. It also fits as a carry-on on flights.

Duffels are a huge and ever-expanding category. We also like durable Red Oxx duffels ($300) , and if you've ever gone to a popular outdoor destination, like Yosemite or Everest, you've probably seen stacks of North Face Base Camp duffels . This is the quintessential expedition bag. My own personal bag is the OnSight Tarmac EPO , but the company no longer exists.

Best for Camping

We love everything from Rux; I'm currently testing the waterproof adventure tote ($150) and I use it for everything from my climbing gear, to picnic gear, to bringing my kids' roller skates and soccer balls to the park. I have also leaked an entire water bottle in it and it stayed contained and out of the bottom of my car.

But for camping (or any outdoor pursuit, really), what you need is a Rux storage system , which, as the artist and filmmaker Van Neistat puts it, will help you kit your shit . It holds its frame shape, which means you can stack and organize inside of it just like a box, but it folds down like a bag for easy storage once you're at your destination. It's also light and waterproof and comes with a wide array of accessories . This is an upgrade for everyone who currently sorts their camping, climbing, or snowboarding gear in a series of $5 plastic totes and stacks them in their trunk.

A Good Emergency Go Bag

To be clear, any bag here could be considered a go-bag—even a grocery bag works when you have to leave the house imminently. But reviewer Nena Farrell used Calpak's duffel for an emergency surgery, and she is kicking herself for not getting it sooner. It was big enough for everything from makeup bags and extra outfits to a massive book and Nintendo Switch, and was comfortable to carry thanks to the large straps.

The shoe compartment was big enough for sandals and slides, but not big enough for shoes with an ankle. It was also a great place to stash haphazard Ziplocs of emergency toiletries and medications. There are some side pockets inside too, plus an exterior side pocket and a pass-through panel to place it on top of your luggage. It was a great hospital companion, but Farrell can't wait to take the Luka somewhere a little more fun.

Other Bags We Like

Not every good product can snag a best-in-category title, but there are several more bags we've tested that get our thumbs-up.

Samsonite Outline Pro Carry-On for $200 : This is a hard-side, four-wheeled spinner carry-on made from an outer shell of durable polypropylene. Standout features include an interior fabric made from 100 percent recycled plastic bottles and a “WetPak” storage pocket for keeping damp items separated from the rest of your luggage.

Osprey Ozone 40L for $280 : At 4.47 pounds, Osprey claims this bag is the lightest carry-on suitcase. It's also made from 400D recycled bluesign-approved nylon and is treated with DWR. This bag is light enough to easily hoist above my head and has also been checked multiple times.

Gregory Alpaca 40 Duffel for $140 : This duffel weighs a scant 2.7 pounds, but the water-resistant fabric and extraordinarily beefy (though plastic) buckles make it a solid bag for adventuring. There's an exterior pocket for storing shoes or dirty clothes. The backpack straps don't tuck away for storage—you have to unclip them—but might be the most well-padded, comfortable straps I've encountered on a duffel. Exterior daisy chains and an interior zippered pocket round out the impressive features list.

Land's End Waxed Canvas Duffel for $180 : Most duffel bags these days are made of nylon, and while it's tough to call a material that's been popular since the 1940s “modern,” nylon bags don't have the old-school charm that this waxed canvas bag does.

Eagle Creek Cargo Hauler 40L for $107 : This bag weighs 1 pound, 13 ounces, which is only slightly heavier than air. It also has backpack straps that stow away in a front pocket.

Skyway Epic Carry-On for $80 : At 7.1 pounds, the Epic is an average weight. The handle is a wee bit more finicky than our top pick, and the Travelpro's wheels glide a little more nicely. Still, the Epic is a solid choice.

Target Signature Weekender Bag for $81 : Looking like a cross between a duffel and a handbag, the Weekender has a structure that product reviewer Louryn Strampe says can become overfilled, so keep that in mind if you plan to bring it onto a plane as a carry-on. She appreciates its durability and the many internal pockets for organization, though, and its rather long five-year warranty.

Solgaard Carry-On Closet Plus for $275 : It's a tiny bit over what most airlines list as the maximum dimensions, but the difference is so small that it's accepted 95 percent of the time. WIRED reviewer Louryn Strampe praises its optional clip-in closet clothing organizer, which makes for efficient packing. The built-in TSA lock is easy to use, and there's an internal power-bank pocket. This suitcase is included in our Favorite Recycled Products guide.

Bags We Don’t Like

Some bags just aren't worth the asking price, especially with so many good alternatives at all price points.

Eagle Creek Caldera Convertible International Carry-On for $469 : At 6 pounds, 2 ounces, this bag is a bit heavy. There's a zip-off 19-liter backpack that you can separate from the rest of the 37-liter bag, but when they're zipped together, the combined size doesn't meet carry-on restrictions.

How to Pick a Bag

Nowadays, there are so many baggage options that narrowing down which bag you need can be difficult. Here are a few factors that might make a difference:

• Two or four wheels? Very few people who try the maneuverability of a four-wheeled spinner suitcase want to go back. Four-wheeled spinners are so much easier to maneuver in crowded airports or down airplane aisles. However, two wheels are easier if you're pulling it over rough terrain. Also, they don't roll away.
• Hard-shell or soft-sided? Fabric bags tend to be lighter. They're also more flexible, so they can squish down to fit tighter overhead bins or stretch to accommodate that souvenir sweatshirt that you couldn't resist. A hard-shell suitcase provides more protection, but has no give. If you travel with a lot of fragile items, consider an aluminum suitcase, which offers the most protection of all.
• Use a tape measure and a scale. Whether your bag fits in the overhead bin increasingly depends on both where you're flying (domestic or international) and what airline you choose. Always check the airline's weight and dimension requirements before packing your bag.

A Few Travel Accessories

If you're packing a bag, a few of these items are helpful.

Craftsman Measuring Tape for $14 : Always measure the dimensions of your bag! There's nothing worse than trying to walk on a plane and having to get out line because the gate attendant decided your bag was too big.

Samsonite Manual Luggage Scale for $15 : Weigh your bag before you leave the house, too. International airlines are sticklers for carry-on weight, and even American airlines will be unforgiving about weight for checked bags.

Apple AirTag for $24 : Drop an AirTag into an interior pocket to make sure you and your luggage are reunited at your destination. Don't have an iPhone? We suggest the Chipolo in our guide to the Best Bluetooth Trackers .

Eagle Creek Specter Pack-It Cubes Three-Pack for $35 : Keep everything inside your bags organized by separating it into different cubes. You shouldn't have to hunt through a pile of socks to find your bathing suit.

Calpak Clear Cosmetics Case for $75 : Calpak’s viral clear cases come in three sizes and a ton of colors for the edge trims. Reviewer Nena Farrell loved the small size for my gym bag and traveling with a smaller carry-on bag, while the medium was a great size for my daily makeup or larger suitcases.

Troubadour Buddy 2.0 Tech Case for $75 : You probably need a case to organize your spare charging cables and power banks. I've been testing this compact, waterproof, and recycled bag that fits neatly into my personal item.

UrPower Portable Steamer for $24 beats a travel iron because it's far lighter and you don't need to hunt down an ironing board at your hotel. WIRED reviewer Medea Giordano and I both have been using UrPowers for years. For a tiny thing, it's powerful and effective at steaming practically anything. You just need to refill it often.

InCase MacBook Sleeves for $50 will keep your laptop from bearing the damage caused by airport security lines. Travel through an airport without a case and it's only a matter of time before a bare laptop or tablet picks up nasty scratches and dents. Check our guide to the Best MacBook Accessories for more.

PSA: Amazon Is Having a Huge Sale on Luggage Right Now

Posted: July 8, 2024 | Last updated: July 8, 2024

As you prepare for all your summer trips , it's time to make sure your luggage is up for any adventure. If your go-to travel companion is on its last leg (err, wheel), Amazon is the place to head to save big on a major upgrade this season.

Currently, Bezos and Co. is offering up to 46 percent off some of the best luggage brands—including travel expert staples like Samsonite and Tumi and customer favorites like Delsey Paris . Top-rated checked bags , featherlight carry-ons , and nifty travel backpacks are just a few of the great finds we spotted on major discount. Our careful sleuthing even led us to amazing markdowns on some great travel accessories you probably didn't know you needed.

The only catch? Given Amazon sales are as fickle as flight prices these days, there's a good chance these deals could be gone in a flash. So, don't hesitate to whip out your credit card and shop all the best Amazon luggage deals we found, below.

Winfield 2 Hardside Luggage

Backed by nearly 17,000 five-star reviews on Amazon, this Samsonite best-seller is essentially the GOAT of carry-ons. The hard-sided, 20-inch style is extremely rugged yet lightweight and and meets most airline carry-on requirements. As a bonus, multi-directional spinner wheels allow for easy navigation.

7366 Hardside Expandable Luggage (3-Piece Set)

In case you need to overhaul your entire luggage collection, this classic hard-sided SwissGear set is a major steal. Marked down to just over $300, it comes with a small, medium, and large 27-inch roller case—all featuring TSA-approved locks and expandable details. Reviewers rave these pieces are sturdy and glide effortlessly across airport floors. Grab them in all-black or in one of six standout hues to better spot them on the arrivals carousel.

Topo Designs Rover Pack

Hiking trips call for a travel backpack that's ultra-lightweight and practical. Topo's vintage-inspired design offers the best of function and form, complete with tons of handy compartments and convenient compression straps.

19 Degree Expandable 4-Wheel Carry On

Tumi makes some of the most luxe luggage around, including this expandable carry-on that's great for anyone who tends to overpack. On top of being exceptionally sturdy, it's made with recycled materials and boasts a built-in TSA lock and USB-C charging port.

Maxlite 5 Softside Expandable Carry on

If you prefer a soft-sided carry-on, this compact Travelpro version has over 9,000 five-star reviews on Amazon. Customers love that it weighs just over five pounds and is rugged enough for whatever you have planned, thanks to its stain-resistant fabric and high-tensile strength zippers.

Chatelet Hardside 2.0 Luggage with Spinner Wheels

Elegance is the name of the game with this leather-like Delsey Paris set. Also offering great convenience, resilience, and security, this two-piece set boasts a button-activated brake for front-wheel control, smooth double-spinner wheels, and triple-strength SECURITECH zippers.

Lite Duffel

Don't be fooled by its name: This airy duffle can actually hold tons of stuff for your weekend excursions. The main compartment opens up extra wide so you can more easily pack and find things when you need them. What's more, the water-resistant bag has plenty of internal and quick-access pockets, an adjustable, padded shoulder strap, and even a built-in key clip.

Voyageur Leger International Carry-On

Fact: Suitcases with easy-access compartments are total game-changers. This streamlined Tumi carry-on has three top and front-loading pockets so you can simply grab whatever you need at a moment's notice. Oh, and there's even a built-in USB port.

6 Set Packing Cubes for Travel

Okay, this isn't technically a piece of luggage, but with a deal this good on an essential travel accessory, we couldn't finish this list without mentioning it. This set includes six breathable cubes of various sizes to maximize space in your suitcase and keep everything streamlined. Plus, each one is machine washable for easy maintenance.

Accent Backpack 26L

Looking for a great travel backpack for work? Go for this versatile style from Swedish outdoor brand Thule. Not only is it sleek and spacious, but it also includes a laptop sleeve, dividers for keeping documents separate, and a hard-shelled storage pocket for safeguarding fragile valuables like your phone and sunglasses.

Is Soft Luggage Making a Comeback?

Almost a decade after launching its enormously popular plastic carry-on suitcase, Away has just announced a completely new range of decidedly cuddly-looking luggage. The brand’s Softside suitcases have the same smooth wheels and tough zippers as their more rigid predecessors, which will remain available for purchase. Yet they’re constructed from flexible nylon instead of polycarbonate, representing a win for overpackers everywhere.

Squishy luggage may seem like a surprising move from the DTC travel brand which successfully lured millions of customers away from their dorky soft bags, but actually this announcement falls in line with wider industry trends. Away rival Dagne Dover launched soft suitcases earlier this month, and carry-on duffels and backpacks from outdoor brands like Cotopaxi and Patagonia have become increasingly popular over the past couple of years. To prove the point, a number of soft-suitcase-loving celebrities have been tapped to appear in Away’s campaign photos, including Megan Stalter, Alan Ruck, and New York Magazine’s own Jerry Saltz.

In general, there’s a strong, er, case to be made for soft luggage. It’s lightweight and expandable, easy to repair, and tends to feature external zippered compartments for quick access to items like passports and chargers. Next time you’re disembarking a plane, take a close look at the roller boards that flight attendants and pilots use — I guarantee you’ll see soft-sided cases.

That’s not to say that you should rush out to replace your beloved hard suitcase with a fabric one. Hard suitcases look sleeker and more professional, and they’ll also do a better job at protecting any breakable souvenirs you buy. They can be wiped clean, are somewhat bedbug resistant, and will slide easily into luggage sizers and overhead lockers. Even though a cracked shell is technically impossible to repair, we’ve been testing Away’s products for years and never encountered this issue.

It will take me a few months to properly test Away’s and Dagne Dover’s new suitcases, but I’m interested to see how they compare to those from legacy brands like Travelpro, which is known for making soft bags that are so repairable that they can theoretically last a lifetime. Travelpro’s suitcases are, of course, rather utilitarian-looking compared to these cute designs, which will definitely win more compliments at the departure gate.

Sadly, cuteness comes at a price. The smallest Softside Away carry-on is retailing at $225, which is $55 more than the comparable Travelpro Maxlite . And at $595, Dagne Dover’s smallest carry-on is almost as expensive as suitcases from luxury brands like Rimowa and Tumi.
