TravelproVersaPack+® UnderSeat Tote

★★☆☆☆ Looks good, but misses

★★☆☆☆ Looks good, but misses some basic travel features I really wanted to like the VersaPack+ UnderSeat Tote because the size and appearance are appealing, and it coordinates nicely with the rest of the collection. Unfortunately, after using it, I think the design leaves out several practical features that would make it much more useful for frequent travel. The exterior material seems especially prone to staining. Once it gets marked up, the stains are very difficult to remove, which is frustrating for a bag that is intended to spend time under airline seats and around airports. There is also no dedicated place for a beverage or water bottle. On an underseat travel bag, that feels like a significant omission. A simple exterior bottle pocket would make the bag considerably more functional. Another disappointment is the rear slip-through sleeve. It allows the tote to slide over a suitcase handle, but unlike the Platinum product I previously owned, the sleeve does not have a zipper that allows it to double as a secure pocket. That small design detail makes a real difference in everyday travel because it gives you another protected place for documents, a phone, or other quick-access items when you are not using the sleeve over a luggage handle. The bag is attractive and the basic concept is good, but for a Travelpro product at this level, I expected more thoughtful organization and more practical travel features.
