TUMIMen's Alpha Bravo Mason Duffel

Does not fit a 16 inch macbook

They lied on their website it does NOT fit a 16 inch macbook screen.

High Quality Materials, Terrible Functional Design

Given to me by my spouse. The construction and materials are very high quality and durable. However, the overall design is lacking and honestly made me wonder if anyone at Tumi actually used it before final approval. The shoe compartment is useless as it takes up too much of the space inside the bag. Even when not using it the material for the compartment is thick so in itself it takes up too much room. The strap is uncomfortable. I bought a cheap strap pad and that helps but I would expect better quality from Tumi. The 2 zippered end compartments are near impossible to open when the bag is on your shoulder since the zipper is between the bag and strap and any weight at all in the bag prevents the zipper from opening. Even the front long exterior compartment is difficult to unzip if there is any bend in the bag while wearing. All 3 of those zippers are ones you would most likely want to open when traveling and wearing the bag on your shoulder. Finally, zippers on the end compartments open from the lower part in front of the bag making it very easy for items to fall out. I wondered if I was being too picky but feel vindicated after reading several reviews with my same exact disappointments.

Perfect weekend getaway bag

Great bag. Holds a lot more than you thought it would for sure. The blue is very beautiful and brilliant. The “shoe sack” kind of takes up most of the inside of the bag so to me it’s pointless. But it’s a good thought. Over all, quality you expect from Tumi!

Perfect International Companion

My Mason Duffel was the perfect companion on a recent trip to Japan.

A high quality and functional duffel, recommended!

Excellent Product quality and features. A quality product with many options. Storage and organization as expected from a reputable company like Tumi. I use Tumi products over the years, and this duffel keeps the tradition. The less positive reviews I've read are pretty flat. Excellent product, highly recommended.

Older version was better

Older version that had the extra compartment on top was much better because it saved space for trips where you didn’t need to bring a full Dopp kit. Please bring back the older model!!!!

I haven’t gotten it to its first use yet but it’s sitting on my bed and ready to be packed. I think it’s going to work out well. Plenty of room to add whatever I need to take with me. I’m going to have to make a choice between the Navigation Backpack and this. It has multiple grab / carry handles and internal tie downs.

Not we thought out.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Usually Tumi makes great product. Not sure how the designers missed adding a shoulder support to the strap. When you pack the bag it’s hard to carry because it puts a lot of pressure on your shoulder.
