Grabbing the tote by hand for a duffel-style carry
The Base Camp Voyager Tote has grab handles intended for a duffel-style carry by hand. One customer reviewer reports the handles hang loose and get in the way because they cannot be adjusted or stowed, so the hand-carry may work best when you don't mind the handles swinging free.[1,3,4]
Hands-Free Crossbody or Shoulder Carry
This tote's removable, adjustable, padded shoulder strap lets you carry it at your side, over your shoulder, or across your body when you want your hands free. You can also detach the strap and use the grab handles for a duffel-style carry, though one reviewer found the handles tend to hang in the way when not in use.[1,2,3,4]
Ride along with your rolling luggage
This tote has a pass-through loop at the back that lets you secure it to a rolling suitcase, so you can stack your bag on top and move through airports or stations with one hand. The recycled, durable material and zippered compartments keep your carry-on organized while it rides along.[1,2,4]
Versatile Storage and Organization
Use this tote for carrying and organizing various belongings with multiple storage options. It features a central zippered main compartment for larger items, complemented by two external, secure-zip pockets and an internal zipped mesh pocket. Additional organization is supported by two stretch-mesh water bottle pockets and side slit pockets.[1,4]
Carrying a laptop with the rest of your gear
The tote's main compartment includes a padded laptop sleeve with a hook-and-loop closure that The North Face lists as fitting most 16-inch laptops, making it an option for toting a computer alongside your other belongings. Fit experiences vary, though: one customer reported their 12-inch MacBook Air only just fit in height, and that their 17-inch laptop would not fit at all. Checking your laptop's dimensions against the sleeve may be worthwhile before relying on it.[1,3]
Clip gear to the outside with the daisy chain
The tote's exterior daisy-chain webbing gives you lash points for clipping items to the outside of the bag. That can help free up interior space in the main compartment for larger gear while keeping extras accessible on the go.[1,2]
Pack the tote into its own pocket for storage
Packs into its own internal pocket for compact storage and portability. The tote also serves as a lightweight 25-liter carryall with a removable shoulder strap and a padded sleeve that fits most 16-inch laptops.[1,2]
A large stuff bag for extra layers, per one reviewer
According to one customer reviewer, this tote works well as a large stuff bag for throwing in items like a fleece and rain jacket along with other gear. The same reviewer found the interior roomy but noted it has just one large zippered inside pocket, suiting people who like to toss everything into a single compartment. They kept the bag for this purpose despite mixed impressions of its design.[3]
Product comparison
Compared within this brand.
| Base Camp Voyager Tote: Choose this tote if you want a lightweight, packable travel companion: it offers a zippered main compartment for larger items, a removable and adjustable padded crossbody strap, luggage pass-through for rolling suitcases, water-repellent recycled fabric, and a reinforced 840D ballistic nylon base with a fluorine-free DWR finish. Note that one customer found the interior sleeve only barely fits a 12-inch MacBook Air and definitely not a 17-inch laptop, so verify your device fits if laptop carry matters. It also suits shoppers who prefer one large, very roomy compartment over multiple interior pockets.[1,3,4] | Borealis Tote Bag: Choose this if you want a tote that can also be carried like a backpack: a reviewer found the back straps work for bike rides, longer walks, or heavier loads, though the bag needs to be zipped for that mode and lifting by the back handle alone is awkward. It suits commuters and students who need a padded laptop compartment, a stand-up design, side water bottle holders, an external bungee cord for cinching gear, and a zippered main compartment. Note it is a one-size bag measuring 16 by 15.75 by 5 inches in a 100% nylon shell, available in Black, Light Grey, and Beige/Greige.[5,6,7] | Base Camp Utilitarian Tote: Choose this if you want a versatile daily tote that stands up on its own thanks to a reinforced boot, with an 18L capacity that fits daily gear without feeling bulky. It works well for commuters and travelers who need water-bottle side pockets, a zippered interior mesh pocket with key clip, daisy-chain lash points, and adjustable front straps for externally carrying jackets or yoga mats — and its tote handles can also be shouldered like a backpack. The durable recycled polyester body has a TPU coating and measures about 15 inches long, 11 inches high, and 6.5 inches wide in one size.[8,9,10,11] |
