The North Face  Base Camp Voyager Tote

I had been on the hunt for a tote that'd supplement my carry-on. Small enough that it could be my "personal item" but big enough to carry all the things (laptop, tech bag, toiletries, Kindle, jacket, snacks, etc.). I wanted cute, lots of pockets including one for a water bottle, and most importantly, one that'd slip over my carry-on and stay securely as I traipse the world. Success on all fronts! Just crossed off states 45-49 with it! Can't wait for 50.

I bought this on gamble as an everyday work bag and it really fit the bill. I carry my lunch in it + documents. The price is quite a bit less than others work bags or briefcases, including from Samsonite. I do like daisy chain to clip things + I have my keys clipped to the outside as well.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is my daily carry bag for work. I am extremely impressed with the craftsmanship and sturdiness of it. The zippers are smooth, the pockets are sizable, and there are no snags or runs in the stitching to be seen. The water resistant material is great for the predictably unpredictable Alaskan weather I work in, and fits my snow gear, laptop, folders, lunch, purse and more, just in the main pocket! I have plenty of room for more if I need it, and the detachable shoulder strap is awesome for when I'm traveling heavier. The only thing I can complain about is it always falls over when it set it down, unless it's stuffed full. A reinforced base would be cool, but that's just because I personally have no need to pack it down completely flat.

I love this tote so much, I bought one for my sister and I will probably buy one for every new mom I know. It is seriously the best bag. I use it for work on the weekdays, I walk to work and it is really light and easy to carry, and then on the weekends I turn it into our diaper bag no problem at all. I even wear it while I am using a baby carrier. I have used it for traveling twice with two little kids and it is absolutely perfect because you can see everything and it all stays organized. Love the double water bottle pockets and the outer zip pockets. And even when it is stuffed full, it is really comfortable to carry. Can't say enough good things about this bag.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This bag is amazing!!! I travel frequently for work and all of the features are so wonderful. Love that it has a sleeve to loop on my roller bag handle, padded laptop sleeve, and one of the external zipper pockets is padded as well for small fragile items. THERE ARE SO MANY POCKETS! I have been using a 20 year old North Face messenger bag for work travel (which is still a great bag and functionally brand new), but love that this has the option to be either crossbody, shoulder strap, or sit on top of my luggage. I actually got stopped in the airport by someone the other day asking what the style was called because they thought it would be perfect for their frequent work travel as well. I cannot overstate how much I love this bag and look forward to using it for many, many years to come!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Overall, it's an incredible bag. I love all the pockets, and the linings chooses are very nice. The quality of the materials is there, and it shows. The bag does very well in the rain, and fits quite a bit; I use this bag to go thrifting and walk home with my haul if that says anything. I purchased the green, which I regret, because the color is a beautiful sage-- just not my style. Would have preferred the black I think for the versatility. My only actual complaint about the bag would be the plastic hardware on the straps. I had the switch the crossbody strap because the clips would not stay closed and would move and click with every shift. It was super frustrating.

I rarely leave reviews, but I figured I'd share my opinion on this one. It's a great bag and fits a lot without being too bulky. However, there is one thing I don't like: the clips for the strap broke just two weeks after I bought it. They're made of cheap plastic, so it made sense that they would break. Normally, I'd return the item because of poor manufacturing, but I really like the bag, so I purchased a replacement clip online made of metal.

I used this bag as my gym/change of clothing bag. But I have a few Pros and Cons: Pros: - Decent in terms of space provided - Water bottle holders on both sides - Two quick-access medium-size pockets in the back; One large pocket in bag - Hooks sewn-in inserts along the upper rim of the bag Cons: - Space is not big enough to just hold all your clothes if you just throw your stuff in, so must fold your clothes before placing in bag. - The shoulder strap attachment is REALLY bad and sometimes can just pop-off. I get the design North Face tried to implement but it feels cheaply made and constantly unravels

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is a great bag. I use it for work and it easily carries my laptop, an iPad, and all its accessories along with anything else I need. There's a back pocket plus two pockets on the front that I use to store my personal phone and work phone. The handles are large enough that I can toss it over my shoulder plus it has a shoulder strap if you'd rather use that to carry it. I only wish it came in brighter colors.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I haven't had a chance to put the bag to the test, but I can say the quality appears very nice. No weird smells that this kind of bag frequently has. The laptop pocket is very soft. The zippered outer pockets make it feel less secure as a travel bag, so I will just use them for non-essentials and/or remove white pulls. The mouth of the bag isn't super wide and the banding doesn't make that easier but overall it's really nice and the perfect size to fit atop a medium suitcase. Note that it does have the slot to put your suitcase handle through.
