Are you a tote person?
If you can see yourself nodding, then the Alpaka Elements Tote might be the one for you!
This 14.5-liter tote we must say is one of the best value tote on the market and below are the reasons why!
1. The Elements Tote is lightweight and is made with highly durable materials.
2. It's affordable compared to most totes on the market.
3. It's minimalist and urban.
4. It has a different interior color to create a highlight effect for you to easily navigate your stuff.
5. It can hold 2 water bottles!

I actually bought that tote to finally get my hands on something with that orange honeycomb fabric. Graet value for the money spent.
totally agree
Love this bag, wish the handles were about 2 inches longer. Perfect beach bag/picnic bag. Easily holds 4 bottles of wine, some cheese, blanket for two. Black and orange all day!
That’s a great beach packing list haha
I used this as an everyday carry, and its just so convenient to just dump my stuff to and from it. Definitely like a vacation from an everyday messenger or a backpack. On a long trip, I'd pack this inside another bag (like in my shimoda ex35 v2, or in a 35L peak design duffel) in case you'll be shopping for stuff, very handy to chuck stuff inside it, while being still organized.
Great review! 😉👍
thanks dude and totally agree - totes like these are super versatile
I love the idea of packing this inside a slightly larger bag- thx for the inspiration!!!
Loving all the recent tote reviews, I'm a dedicated 1.5 bagger and decided a tote is my ideal .5 bag to accompany my main backpack or roller bag, now on the hunt for a good one!
As a dedicated 1.5 bagger myself I'd like to try a tote (I always use a sling as my .5)
@@Nomads.Nationa sling just isn't cutting it for me anymore, I still find myself getting up to look in the overhead bin and that annoys me. And I don't find it a hassle to carry a tote bag even though it isn't technically "hands free" travel at that point
@@Rosa52 nice! I'll give it a shot sometime soon
Good review: bought it and happy. You always pointed me in the right direction! 👍🙂 and the orange goes with all my AER X-Pacs!!!
hell yea, glad to help Mark!
Good review. Just got one in Olive for $40 on sale. It's a nice sturdy tote, and I like the orange.
nice! be sure to let us know what you think about it after testing for a few weeks
Mine just arrived today and I love it. Thanks for the video! 💕🧢
glad to hear!
If you carabiner your keys, the handles have loops near the outside pockets, perfect for clipping on keys/items
💯
Alpaka also recently put out a Bravo Tote that I think addresses most, if not all, the cons you mentioned.🙌🏾
I saw! I should be getting one soon to review
@Nomads.Nation
I'd love to see a review of the new Alpaka Bravo Tote that is due to be released in September. I have already pre-ordered mine since it's a natural step up from my Bravo Sling V2 Max. Something I use on a daily basis as my EDC sling.
We don’t have a review for that bag lined up - did you mean the Alpaka Bravo Sling Max?
This is one flexible bag .. use it for when i go shopping or just a day out with the family.
All day
Pre ordered one and it's come in super handy so often. Great little bag. My girlfriend has since stolen it from me.
my wife's had her eyes on mine as well lol
what are your thoughts on the aer tote 2 bag? Thanks in advance!
haven't reviewed it yet - hopefully will soon!
I’m a sucker for Alpaka’s orange interior. I have multiple Alpaka products and each one has gotta have the orange interior!
wait til you see our Fyro interior... 😏
Mum would probably be interested for shopping groceries & scrapbooking.
She’s got good taste
My problem with maximalist totes is that they are wide rather than tall. When I am in crowded places or narrow aisles, or generally in a hurry, the tote tends to get bumped into (the the tote tends to bump into) people and things.
Can you please recommend the best vertical maximalist totes that are dedicated totes? Ones that do not also become a backpack? I find that the backpack straps add bulk to the overall dimensions and I don’t even need them.
I know this is a super strange request and I am probably the only one looking for this kind of tote. But you might have some suggestions in mind. I’ve been binge-watching all your videos since two weeks ago, even the videos about bags I am not even interested in, but I always end up wishing some features of some bags are combined with some features of other bags, to create the tote I really need.
Thank you!
Totally agree with you, I'd love to see more vertical-style totes, but I can't think of any :( if you find a few do let me know!
Will you do a review on the Alpaka Bravo Tote please
coming in a few months!
Alpaka continues to impress with new interesting products... Aesthetics play a significant role when considering bags. Certain bags may appear appealing on specific individuals, while not complementing others. I believe that Topo Designs Global Briefcase (14L) BLACK COLOR would look good on you. Would you be open to the idea of conducting a review?
Thanks for a great channel /j-e /gbg/swe
I’d love to review it! Just gotta get my hands on one lol
They have green now too
I saw! Looks fantastic
It comes in an olive green exterior as well.
Good looks!
@@Nomads.Nation they have a cool grey that came out today!!! It’s looks really good. I’ve had the black one in cart for a few Days. I go to finally pull the trigger on it and boom. The grey is sexy. :)
@@juandelossantos1866 nice! I'll check it out
I'd Like to see lunchboxes getting thrown in these videos. Does a Yeti lunchbox fit in any of these? Who knows!?
Good suggestion! Maybe I’ll pick one up as a prop.
What’s the size of this bag ?
All the specs are on their website 💪🏻
Could I get fyro tee shirt
not selling any at the moment, but maybe during the launch, be on the lookout!
Looks like they have a green version now. Sigh. I think they release new stuff every week.
Yeah, I got my black one few weeks ago and now I‘d much rather have the green one😩
they are on a tear releasing new products, my inbox is flooded with their marketing emails (not complaining tho lol)
@@dominikg4818 lol, same. the second I get something they release a color I would have preferred. I'm waiting on the new tech case 1.2 in coyote or grey, but they released red instead.
@@dominikg4818 Son of gun, they just released this tote in Slate grey.
I think my 8" tablet would fit in one of the pockets.
hope it does! Maybe double check with Alpaka first (and please let us know what they say!)
Two pieces of velco on the outside pockets to keep the m closed. Voila!
That would rock
Just wish it had a luggage pass through
I hear ya
Hexagon 😢
math was never my strong suit lol
@@Nomads.Nation geometry? Hahah it’s all good. Keep making these great gear videos
@@carlosroldan8910 point proven, I'll stick to gear haha
That’s a purse
its open to interpretation
And what is wrong with a purse?
@@splashmoby They are for ladies only
Bought two of these months back ⬛️🟧💯👌🏼
Hell yea
