TUMI Alpha Bravo Search Backpack in Terra Brown - 161869-B181
TUMI 161869-B181 Alpha Bravo Search Backpack in Terra Brown
Modern, versatile and generously sized for commutes and farther-reaching travel, the TUMI Alpha Bravo Search Backpack brings workday organization and travel-ready utility together in a 23 L design. Its utilitarian Alpha Bravo character moves naturally from the office and school to outdoor plans and longer trips. Ballistic nylon forms the foundation, while the Terra Brown seasonal treatment adds a durable embossed coating and bold horizontal pattern for a distinctive finish. A zip entry opens the main compartment, giving daily gear and travel essentials a central, easy-to-pack space.
Device storage stays separate and protected. A back zip entry leads to a dedicated padded compartment sized for up to a 15 in PC or 16 in MacBook screen, while a padded tablet pocket makes room for a second device.1 Beyond electronics, an open pocket, two zip pockets, four media pockets, two card pockets, pen loops and a key leash organize the smaller items that can disappear inside a large backpack. Exterior U-zip, zip and open pockets add options for sorting essentials, and a rear pocket with a concealed magnetic snap keeps frequently reached items accessible without opening the main compartment.
Built for movement, the Search Backpack pairs a padded mesh back panel with a webbing top carry handle finished with a leather accent, so commuters can switch between shoulder carry and hand carry. The Add-a-Bag sleeve slides over compatible luggage handles when trips call for rolling luggage. A water-resistant open pocket on the left helps isolate a bottle or damp item, while TUMI+ compatible loop locations support a more adaptable packing setup. A monogram patch and luggage tag bring personal identification to the exterior, and the integrated TUMI Tracer program extends that thoughtful approach by offering registration designed to assist with lost or stolen items. The result is a large, organized laptop backpack equipped for everyday routines, work travel and journeys beyond the commute.
