Absolutely love this backpack. Way more space than my $$$$ briefcase. However what I real love about this backpack is 1 it looks super professional, 2 it stores all my files, 2 lab tops, 3 ring binders & all sorts of other travel stuff and some extra clothes because none of use trust checking our bags anymore. Pairs perfectly with my Tumi International suitcase. So you know I bought this backpack today and already traveled from EWR to GSO and couldn’t be anymore happy with this purchase, well worth the price. Finally super happy with the sales girls at Short Hills Mall who showed me all of my options, no pressure just super professional. Keep us the good work Tumi.

I am, unfortunately, very disappointed in this bag. My Alpha roller? Love it. My previous version Alpha backpack from ~2015? Love it. This current version, regardless of how it's packed, will not stand up on its own and slumps forward. Given that the ability to stand up in the trunk, in an airport, on a train, etc. was my favorite feature in the previous version, this one is very disappointing. Sitting on the floor, slumped forward like every other $75 backpack out there is not why I purchased this premium item, and it feels far from premium.

I love this backpack in its compartments. There seems to be a missed internal pocket behind the name plate though. I love that it's small and sleek, I wear it for work and travel. I love that it expands, but I always seem to run out of room when packing for a flight. I had to used to the strap positioning too, and the handle carry. Love the phone pocket!

Just picked this backup up at AMS airport. So far, it has been everything I was hoping to get out of the bag. The laptop compartment is large enough to fit my massive laptop, plus have enough depth to also fit my iPad and case. The main compartment is deep enough to accommodate my tech pouch, and have enough room left over for other things when traveling. The front pouch is large and deep enough to fit my Airpods Max. Somehow, with everything loaded in, the bag is still extremely comfortable to wear around.
Ok... so, I got this bag to replace my 6 years old Victorinox Lexicon Professional Bellevue 15, which is also a top-tear premium bag.In my review I'll mainly compare it to the Victorinox, and share my experience with the TUMI search so far (only EDC for a month+).General:SIZE - Similar size, but slightly bigger than the Victorinox - As I never tried the TUMI Search before buying, I had only pictures as a reference... The Search looks bigger in pics than in real life which wad my main concern. But it truly isn't that big, and not much bigger than the Victorinox.Materials:Fabric - although the Search has TUMI's ballistic nylon, also the Victorinox has a very durable ballistic nylon which seems a little thicker. Only time will tell if the Search will hold on ... MoreOk... so, I got this bag to replace my 6 years old Victorinox Lexicon Professional Bellevue 15, which is also a top-tear premium bag.In my review I'll mainly compare it to the Victorinox, and share my experience with the TUMI search so far (only EDC for a month+).General:SIZE - Similar size, but slightly bigger than the Victorinox - As I never tried the TUMI Search before buying, I had only pictures as a reference... The Search looks bigger in pics than in real life which wad my main concern. But it truly isn't that big, and not much bigger than the Victorinox.Materials:Fabric - although the Search has TUMI's ballistic nylon, also the Victorinox has a very durable ballistic nylon which seems a little thicker. Only time will tell if the Search will hold on "as new" like the Victorinox (hopefully).Zippers - Search has "lighter" and much more easy to open (easily one handed) than the Victorinox which has more "heavy duty" zippers, but harder to manipulate. I hope that the Search zippers will hold on years ahead like the Victorinox.Organization - TUMI's Search is much much better in the pocket layout than the Victorinox, more traditional but much more practical - has more inside pockets for organization, much bugger side pockets and overall larger space for storage. For my needs the Search is just perfect in this term.Also the inside fabric material in the Tumi is nicer.Weight distribution - I had both bags with the same equipment (Dell XPS 13 laptop, ipad mini, mouse, usb hub, cables pouch, wallet, business cards, several key chains, sunglasses in a case) and the Search weight distribution is much better, and more convenient to carry.Looks & Design - its a very subjective matter, and I like both. But the Search is more conservative and clean looking, while the Victorinox is more innovative, different and has leather handles and accents which I like and whish the Search had. Search external top pocket has no structure support which is a con, so I kept the original TUMI packing material and still had spare space to store items internally, but this should be changed in the future model design.Delivery & Packing - One of the quickest deliveries overseas I had from Amazon (Zappos), and the packing was top level. The bag arrived in 100% condition in a large box (no gift box, just a regular box).Didn't have the option to personalize it on purchase process via Amazon which could be great.To summarize my review -Pros:- Beautiful clean design- Excellent organization layout- Great weight distribution and carrying convenience- Perfect size for EDC ( much to spare) and probably for travel (haven't tested it yet)- Smooth and easy to use zippers (durability yet to be proven years ahead)- Excellent packing and extremely quick delivery overseas (Amazon via Zappos)Cons:- Ballistic nylon - thinner than expected and compared to my Victorinox bag - durability yet to be proven years to come.- No option for personalization at purchase process on AmazonBottom line:Highly recommended !
I should have purchased my TUMI Alpha Search Backpack sooner. Why didn’t I do this years ago? I’m kicking myself.I’m embarrassed to admit I thought I could get by with a cheaper backpack for my work bag, but I was wrong. I dealt with poor quality and lack of style. My bag was always packed to the gills because there was a lack of strategic organization, and I struggled to make it fit in the designated space in front of my airline seat.Finally, in what feels like a universal intervention, my old bag gave up and tore open. I decided to replace it with the Alpha Search Backpack and everything changed. The quality is immediately apparent. The fabric is durable and the zippers are strong. It has more than enough room for everything I carry. Where my old bag was a ... MoreI should have purchased my TUMI Alpha Search Backpack sooner. Why didn’t I do this years ago?

It’s also so stylish that I can’t stop looking at it.
The Search is the best all around travel-focused backpack I've come across in a long time. It is capacious enough for fully stuffed Peak Design Medium + Small packing cubes, toiletries bag, laptop, water bottle, umbrella and a few other items. The main compartment has its own volume and isn't impacted by the side or front pockets coming in to steal space. As with other Tumi bags, it has really durable construction and zippers that are slide easily to manipulate with one hand, yet are durable and don't snag. There are lots of small design features that frequent travelers would appreciate. For example there is a hidden magnetic snap pocket at the top that is perfect for sliding in your phone before walking through airport security.

It has a luggage handle pass-through, and I also love how the backpack can stand up by itself too, which is handy and the bag is empty or fully loaded.I've been a long time Tumi customer, and having used their suitcases, shoulder bags and other backpacks for over 20 years, I can confidently say this is my favorite piece. There is no denying that for $550, it is expensive, and it's not a purchase to take lightly. Given that this bag can be used for EDC work plus travel, I would consider it a decent value and should last for many years.
Pockets and compartments galore. Came from a Tumi briefcase that had all the storage. Was nervous coming to the backpack and am pleasantly surprised with how much room their is in this thing.I carry the following...15 in laptop; 15in second LED monitor, ipad Pro, chargers for all the things; several manilla folders that hold approx 100 sheets of paper in total; various A/V adapters and cables; cat6 cable, HDMI cable; several other misc items. I still have room to spare.Good quality on the build. The attachment loops almost serve as a MOLLE system which allows me to put several other items attached to the bag (carabiner, keys, etc)
I purchased this backpack as a gift for my husband who is in law school. Wanted to get him something stylish but also well designed for daily use. He really likes the look and quality and all the separate compartments for computer, books, phone and accessories. The backpack looks sleek and stylish but also has a lot of room. It also accommodates a full size water bottle on either side. Very pleased with everything about this backpack.
Great backpack!! The construction and materials are fantastic. Even the store where I picked up my order was a spectacular site. Tumi employees were amazing. I definitely do not regret this purchase and would recommend Tumi products to everyone. I am going on a trip next month to San Francisco for work, I wish I had the money to purchase a matching suitcase.
