This is a great tote bag that carries the quality and craftsmanship of the Thule brand. I have a Thule cargo box but I was always interested in their bags and this was a great way to try one out. It's essentially a hand carry tote bag for every day essentials like your tablet, laptop, water bottle and more. I like the discreet pocket which will fit your phone or wallet inside to keep it hidden away from the front of the bag. The bag is made of high quality and durable nylon material that is water resistant. It uses YKK zippers that are pretty much the gold standard of zippers. The carrying straps are comfortable and the tablet/laptop pocket has added padding protection. There are several organizational pockets inside the bag, as well. I use this bag to carry around my things when I'm out and about or going to school and is perfect when you need more room than a smaller bag might not handle.
