Tumi Backpacks

[DonRickles]

I travel often and looking for any feedback on Tumi backpacks for day trips? Has anyone purchased the "Nellis 2019", this year it's called the "Nathan 2020" I believe. The only difference besides paying 270. vs 475.respectively is the Nathan expands a bit.

Any long time owners that can share???

The luggage thread spurred this one.

Don!!! Buddy!!! Self admitted Tumi addict here. I have two backpacks, both the Alpha 2 T-Pass. One leather and one ballistic nylon. LOVE THEM BOTH. All I can say is you won’t go wrong with a Tumi.

My Sheppard Deluxe is soon coming up one year. Been on many travels and almost looks like new. Tumi's nylon is proper durable

Yeah the Sheppard is sweet!

How does it hold up in wet weather?

Bought a Alpha 2 Backpack 2 year ago. Same one in Paul’s pic. It was expensive even on-sale from amazon but it's awesome. Worth every dollar.

Also, picked up the matching Alpha 2 folding hanger suitcase that is carry-on sized. Also a great product. the backpack also slides onto the case's pull handle for a secure stacked fit.

Tumi backpacks are solid but, keep in mind they're also potential thief and robbery magnets.

And ever since I retired my Tumis I also haven't paid retail for any flight upgrades.

That Alpha 2 is really nice, I like it! Thanks, man!

Chewwy, I'll definitely keep this in mind! A loaded pack, with a laptop, and it's contents would be nice target....I'll be aware, Thanks!

I've had and used other backpacks but just the straps on the Tumi sold me....

I like that one a lot! It is great for day trips. You may want a bigger one too for traveling.

It’s pretty much waterproof. Never had any moisture getting into the back.

Nice to hear! My last bag didn't keep out the rain, I'd have to throw my puncho over my bag and body.....
