TUMI Alpha Bravo Navigation Backpack in Terra Brown - 161863-B181
TUMI 161863-B181 Alpha Bravo Navigation Backpack in Terra Brown
Modern and versatile, the TUMI Alpha Bravo Navigation Backpack is an everyday companion for commutes, business or school, and trips farther afield. Alpha Bravo's utilitarian style moves naturally from the office to the outdoors and beyond, while the Terra Brown finish brings a distinctive seasonal look. Ballistic nylon is finished with a durable embossed coating and bold horizontal pattern, pairing a purposeful profile with construction suited to daily travel. A webbing top carry handle with a leather accent offers another convenient way to grab the pack and go.
A zip entry opens the main compartment, where dedicated storage helps keep technology and smaller necessities in order. At the back, a separate zip entry reaches a padded laptop compartment built for up to a 15 in PC or 16 in MacBook screen.1 A padded tablet pocket provides another protected space, while three media pockets, two card pockets, pen loops, a key leash and an interior zip pocket organize the items used throughout the day. On the outside, front U-zip and straight-zip pockets create additional places for quick-to-reach essentials without crowding the main 18 L compartment.
The backpack adapts when a routine commute turns into a longer journey. Its 2 in zip expansion increases depth from 7.3 in to 10.0 in, providing extra packing space as the load grows. An Add-a-Bag sleeve slips over a compatible luggage handle to simplify movement through a terminal, and a luggage tag is already integrated for travel. The padded mesh back panel adds support and airflow against the body, while a rear quick-access pocket uses a hidden magnetic snap to preserve the streamlined exterior. Two side zip pockets round out the versatile design, with a water-resistant pocket that helps separate a bottle or damp item from other belongings.
