Tumi Alpha Bravo Expedition Review - The Big Boy

[@Eisenheiner]

I think you are the only person who reviews Tumi bags in-depth. Love your works! keep it up! 👍

[@barryw8174]

I agree- keep up the great reviews

[@Nestor88]

Yes, everyone else brushes them off as expensive and move on to review black ember and ear Hope tumi gets notice and starts inviting biogear to events or something

[@lnawe2218]

This comment is so true.

[@richardwayne-u7k]

that’s very very true! Do you get sponsored by them??? - your reviews helps with my purchase decisions. 🙆🏾‍♂️🙌🏾🙌🏾

[@BioGear]

@@richardwayne-u7k sorry never saw the replies to this! No I haven’t been sponsored yet. Really want to be so I can make more vids, buying these bags for personal gets crazy costly!

[@oliverposchmannsbassguitar758]

bought this a few months ago, thanks to your review and it does not disappoint. Carry it with me almost daily now. Big, but yet incredibly comfortable and just lots of S P A C E. When travelling with it, I use it in combination with a couple of packing cubes and it has amazing organised capacity

[@nitric75]

nice. i bought mine (the navy blue/khaki version) after watching this review. Got a 25% discount from Tumi Malaysia via their semi-annual sale. Apparently bought the last unit.

[@lnawe2218]

Bottom compartment great for keeping shoes as well

[@yamuiemata]

Literally the only channel that reviews TUMI , keep it up Sidenote...I wish TUMI made a camera gear and laptop bag 😂

[@BioGear]

Thank you! I agree, best I found so far is the esports pro large backpack but that’s still not an actual camera bag lol.

[@yamuiemata]

@@BioGear I'm gonna look that video now , thanks

[@Veronica-Hartnett]

I’m looking into getting this bag to pair it up with my Tumi carry on. Was wondering how big would this be on a 5’1 petite person? And would it easily fit in under most international airline under seat storage? Thanks for a thorough review BTW!

[@BioGear]

I'm 6' tall and it does hang down my lower back. As petite as you are, I wouldn't be surprised if it began to cover your behind. That being said, it does carry a formidable amount of clothing. It will fit under a seat, but will take a little of your feet room since its so tall (21"). Hope that helps!

[@TexasSlinger]

Ive used the Logistics Flap Lid Backpack for about a half year and quality and comfort is stellar. Never paid that much for a back pack coming from a Topo Klettersack. Was surprised that both did not come with a sternum strap. Luckily a Mystery Ranch works perfectly for the Logistics Tumi backpack. Been eye balling the expedition but not sure it would be a big upgrade in space from the Logistic flap. Great review dude!! Wish Tumi would put the Liter qty on them

[@nitric75]

same here. how i wish Tumi includes the volume (in liter) in their specs.

[@mabinyob7595]

How much volume in liter of this bag?

[@raymondlowe4758]

Great channel for Tumi. It helps Tumi to sell their backpack. This is where you'd get the best presentation for most Tumi backpacks. Most Tumi stores employees don't know nothing about Tumi backpacks. Lol.

[@BioGear]

I appreciate the support!

[@user-wv3re3tj7q]

bought this backpack - its amazing and you review helped a lot - keep up the good work - greetings from Austria

[@lalalander8257]

Not planning to buy the backpack (yet) since I have the Nomadic, but watched the entire vid so that this awesome channel could grow

[@BioGear]

I absolutely appreciate that! Hoping one day Tumi starts working with me to get review models. But I agree, I absolutely love my Nomadic and this one just doesn’t feel like it could replace it for me lol.

[@rickstein2347]

Great video! Any plans to review the Tumi Renegade? Wild be great to see that next to the Search and others.

[@BioGear]

Yes I have a renegade now and will review it eventually!

[@mayravilayet7490]

how many Liters is this bag?

[@travelwithkenkish]

which has bigger volume? expedition or normadic?

[@lihanou]

What is your favorite backpack in the current alpha bravo lineup?

[@BioGear]

It's got to be between the Navigation and Nomadic. If I could only keep one, I'd likely keep the nomadic even though I love the smaller size of the navigation. The nomadic tickles my fancy just the right way, outstanding backpack.

[@aizadaddean]

Great video yet again! this helped me make my decision in getting the bag in addition to my Search & Advanced Brief! Just a question, which of the Tumi toiletry/travel packs did you buy for the bottom compartment? Could you share the link to it? Looks like it was built perfectly for that compartment and I like the orange accents! Thanks once again for being the main man for Tumi stuff!

[@BioGear]

So that was a Tumi Reno toiletry kit, which they no longer sell. The replacement model is the Response kit: www.tumi.com/p/response-travel-kit-01425091041/

[@adanbrown]

Thanks VERY much for these reviews. Very few TUMI reviews. I am a 3 day, on a plane, and need to take an extra pair of business shoes. And I want to do it all with a backpack that I can stuff under the seat in front of me. Is there a TUMI backpack that can do this!??

[@BioGear]

This expedition bag is a prime candidate for carrying lots of clothing and the bottom compartment can likely fit a pair of shoes. It may be worth considering, other options like the tumi Packing and Excursion backpacks are in line.

[@adanbrown]

@@BioGear excellent, thanks! I've subscribe and turn on all notifications! Look forward to your next videos!

[@cielrrr]

I have already bought Tumi search backpack last week , enough to put in rog 16inch G614JZ and 330-Watt AC Adapter , but Expedition backpack also seems like a good design !

[@BioGear]

It’s smart, but too big for my taste. The Search is a great balance of size and capacity!

[@jepoy3246]

That leather Navigation looks amazing. Do you prefer leather vs ballistic nylon, though?

[@BioGear]

I like the leather, but I worry about it more so I use it less. Just picked up the dynamic stitch fabric model, by far my favorite!!!

[@nitric75]

What is the volume (liters) of this bag? looked spacious

[@GilbertGarcia75]

Great review, any chance you have taken a look at Tumi corporate collection backpack?

[@BioGear]

Thank you! I haven’t. We’re not taking alpha 3?

[@bru1225]

how is the weight? looks so heavy

[@BioGear]

Wasn’t that bad, larger bags tend to distribute better so it was very manageable

[@houbrahchase]

Nice review! Looking into getting one. By chance do you know the monogram size?

[@Kal_El]

Can you do a review of the Endurance? Seems really interesting and can't find anything on YT

[@payne1542]

good review! does it fit Alienware 17.3'' X1 laptop ? and doest it can stand with full loaded ?❤

[@SmaIIGuy]

Any chance for a Tumi Endurance review? I've been eyeing it but no video reviews of it yet :/

[@BioGear]

One may come, but no plans yet, I'm watching one on ebay but they still want 600. It's a large bag, very open layout which I don't usually gravitate to, but that wont stop me from trying to get one for review!

[@redsabre99]

Could you tell us what brand of accessory kit you used? Thanks!

[@BioGear]

That was a Tumi Reno kit! It’s been updated to the Tumi Response kit now

[@leafsfan71]

Great video. Love you channel. Question for you - I am looking for another Tumi backpack for travel. I have the Alpha Bravo Rolltop from a few years ago. Love it, but it's about 1 good external pocket shy of being perfect. Am thinking the Search would be the best one for me. Thoughts?

[@BioGear]

The Search is an easy recommendation because of how versatile it is. I prefer slimmer bags so I personally lean towards Navigation, but the Search will absolutely cover a lot of use cases and utility.

[@FilmaKuhayfa]

Hello, I want to buy the navy color tumi backpack expedition, but I worry the topper (khaki color) is easy-dirt. Is it true? Thank you

[@calvinvincentius9184]

why no review on tumi logistics

[@BioGear]

I bought one and didnt like it so I returned it before reviewing it, sorry!! 🥲

[@calvinvincentius9184]

@@BioGear why no like?

[@calvinvincentius9184]

@@BioGear is it bad or wut bro

[@BioGear]

@@calvinvincentius9184 I like bags that don't fall over with my laptop in them, and that thing wouldn't stand up on its own. The top flap sagged forward a lot, and the laptop sleeve isn't gusseted so basically its a combination of stuff I can't stand in one package lol. Tumi makes too many nice bags for me to keep that one!

[@PalmBeachDog]

I’m wondering if that top flap is meant to be weather resistant?

[@BioGear]

I would believe so. It’s using that anti abrasive fabric and that stuff is absolutely water repellent. The fact the top is shielded by that would put me at ease getting rained on. Still don’t like getting rained on though 😏

[@RawdTheFormerVirgin]

Great video. Am I right that you went ahead and got the leather navigation? :)

[@BioGear]

I did, I sold the regular model and got leather. Love it, but I do treat it carefully so I don’t scratch it!!

[@RawdTheFormerVirgin]

@@BioGear I’m the same lol

does this fit under an airplane seat?

It should just fine. The width and depth aren’t crazy, it’s just a little tall but should pose no problems under seat

[@Aries04kris]

Please review tumi endurance next

[@BioGear]

I'll have to see if I can borrow one, the collection is getting expensive 😆

[@cassin11]

The bag looks big. How tall are you? I'd like to scale it to my body frame and see if it's going to work

It’s a big bag. I’m 6’00” and that bottom compartment hangs over my butt

[@dathisper]

Will you do a review on the Tumi Renegade Backpack?

[@BioGear]

Yes, already filmed and in editing!

[@dathisper]

@@BioGear that's awesome!! Btw, I am m currently debating between the Renegade / Expedition / Alpha Travel Packing Backpack, as a daily work + gym bag. May I know your thought on this?

[@BioGear]

@@dathisper Nice! If it's just for daily work and gym, the renegade should have enough space. Its the smallest of the three you listed. The expedition is very tall but can hold a lot of stuff, and I've yet to see a packing backpack in person. Those two are both quite big though. If it doesn't bother you to have a big backpack, I did like the expedition. If you don't think you'll carry all that much with you, consider the renegade (or Nomadic, which is one of my favorites lately.)

[@dathisper]

@@BioGear thank you so much for the reply man! The reason I am picking from these three is that I like to have the built-in shoe compartment, so that I don't need to carry sport shoes separately. I think the appearance of the Renegade also sorta fall in the middle between the outdoor / business scale haha

[@BioGear]

@@dathisper understandable! I just swung by tumi during lunch and they finally got a packing backpack in! It's a neat bag. Very deep though, so it sticks far off the back. With that in mind I'd personally pick the expedition but everyone is different.

[@user-wv3re3tj7q]

Love your videos!

[@BioGear]

@@user-wv3re3tj7q thank you very much!!

[@BroDude0]

I’m trying to get a tumi bag, I don’t get the design choices. Most have no dedicated space that will fit a midsize water bottle. Once you remove the filling they stuff it with, the bags look very deflated and cave in. Very restrictive functionality for $700-$1000 bags

[@BioGear]

A majority of their bags seem to hold their shape pretty well, you just can’t grasp the bag with a fist or it will squish in. The search and nomadic do look like they can hold good size water bottles. If you have a tumi store around, try to fit one and see how it works for you

[@aaa-kc9wr]

Great review. I subscribed to your channel because of this. What's the capacity in liters?

[@BioGear]

@@aaa-kc9wr thank you!! And I wish I knew, Tumi doesn’t give us that info which is crazy….

Much appreciated!!

[@kencanamandirigroup4887]

Try to to buy another tumi backpack, hard choices between this expedition backpack and leather navigation.. any recommendation?

[@BioGear]

As you saw in the video, the navigation is much more normal sized, the expedition is large. If you are traveling and need to carry plenty of clothing, toiletries etc, the expedition looks extremely travel friendly. The navigation is a great every day backpack, with enough room for a laptop and most daily essentials, like a hoodie. I wouldn’t buy an expedition for daily office travel

[@kencanamandirigroup4887]

I've never had a wandrd backpack, they look similar in size honestly, the expedition is a pretty big bag!

[@jeffrandall8540]

So, you just got the back and you're publishing a review...WTF? Maybe use it for a few days at least.

[@BioGear]

You ever bought something and realized after using/wearing it for a few hours you don’t like it? That was this bag for me, I knew I wanted to return it within a full day of use so decided to cover what I learned and let it go back. Not to discredit what I know about backpacks, I have been buying, using, and reviewing Tumi’s for a long time. Your feedback isn’t wrong though, I’d generally rather use something for awhile before reviewing, just didn’t want any more time behind this one lol.
