Great little bag

"Everything feels well-thought-out in this bag. It's solidly made and has just enough compartments to keep things organized without being too restricting and complicated. My only gripe is that the fabric loops that you attach the shoulder straps to are really small, which makes attaching and removing the shoulder strap kind of finicky and cumbersome. I don't need to do that too often so it's still 5 stars for me, but something to keep in mind if you see yourself converting from shoulder bag to backpack/suitcase frequently."

Four Countries and Eight Flights in 19 days, BAG IS AWESOME!

"I traveled through Four Countries and Eight Flights, 14 Hotels stays over 19 days. BAG PERFORMED Awesome!! Three different Airlines, two of them EU Commuters. Bag fit no problem in under seat storage on all airlines. I really liked the big compartment zippers, two front pockets are handy and I stowed my Sony Noise Cancelling headphones in one of the front pockets, NO PROBLEM. I also appreciate the slot pocket inside for quick access to passport, Wallet and ID. Especially when traveling through Europe, I think I showed my passport no less than a dozen times. Another big win for Topo Design with the (truly) Global Briefcase!!"

"Daily commuter here. I wanted to get away from using traditional backpacks, and wanted something slightly more professional. This fit the bill perfectly. The bag has plenty of storage for all of my daily commuter items, and is comfortable to wear in any of the orientations. I've honestly found the backpack orientation to be more comfortable than any backpack I've ever worn before this. Though my preferred is the briefcase and shoulder strap. There aren't a ton of organizational pockets, so you'll have to have little bags yourself to organize. Otherwise, if you're a daily commuter like me, this bag presents a high quality, high value, and highly professional alternative to the classic backpack. Truly worth the asking price."

Best bag ever

"I have used this bag (the same one) for years for travel - it sits great on my carry-on suitcase as I roll through the airport, has easily accessible pockets for easy passport and ticket storage and fits everything I need to grab quickly. Just the right ratio of pockets to large areas. When I need to climb stairs to get to the plane I throw it on my back in a jiffy. Whoever designed this bag gets big gold stars!"

Global Briefcase

Great office EDC

"Wanted a bag with a bit of character for work, and this one fit the bill. The Woodland / Elmwood colorway is easily my favorite. Nicely balanced between office‑casual (less boring than all black/navy/brown) and fun (I love the toned‑down yellow accents!). It holds a lot: packed lunch, water bottle, coffee thermos, 11" iPad, and pouches for small items, and it organizes everything really well."

Lightweight hybrid briefcase

"I bought this to match my global travel bag roller and I love it. It’s perfect to use as a lightweight personal item for weekend flights. I do prefer the shoulder strap padding on my global travel duffel more and tend to swap this out with the briefcase shoulder strap :)"

"Amazing briefcase perfecto for different scenarios. Using it to comute to work, it fits perfectly my MBP"

Worked great on my last trip.

"Love the bag and all the space. I added a camera organizer pad from a different bag for the trip and could fit my laptop plus DSLR and two lenses in the bag and still had plenty of space."
