    Tumi have excellent backpacks and briefcases but the prices are very high.

    Tumi stuff is very nice, I have a Tumi garment bag that I got as a present some time ago and it has many excellent features...and the way it's built, I'm sure it'll last me a long time too....

    I needed a briefcase/messenger bag/backpack type carrying bag which would hold my laptop, plus legal sized folders, a portable printer and scanner, and misc supplies. A complete mobile office.

    In addition, I ordered a real nice backpack called a python XL from Booq, a real nice briefcase from Booq called the folee XL, and a real nice backpack from Trager called the Transcontinental. All had free shipping and excellent return policies. The Tumi fit my needs perfectly. Tumi had the same bag in canvas for $395, but that leather is really nice, and I figure I will have it for a long time.

    Looks like its a nice backpack.. awesome if it suits your needs.

    Not for me though... you could buy a whole laptop for that price!
