The Brown Buffalo Conceal Tote, 20L Ballistic Nylon Laptop Tote Backpack
Three ways to carry, one bag. A padded handle for the briefcase hold, stowable straps for the backpack, and a single adjustable strap for the shoulder. It changes shape to suit the walk you are on and looks the same doing all three.
20 liters, cut in 1050D CORDURA ballistic nylon with a water-resistant coating. Enough room for a laptop, a change of clothes, and a towel. The kind of bag that goes from the car to the beach club to a working afternoon without needing a second bag.
Inside, a fleece-lined padded sleeve holds a 16 inch MacBook Pro or a slim laptop, with a separate sleeve for a tablet and pen. A document sleeve closes with a FIDLOCK magnetic buckle that opens one-handed. Dual side pockets take 32 ounce bottles, and an integrated key clip means you stop digging for them.
Compression straps balance the load when it is full. The sternum strap removes, the backpack straps stow away, and the shoulder strap adjusts. The Brown Buffalo designs it to be streamlined for airport security.
Available in Ranger Green Ballistic, Ballistic Black, Black Grid, and Black Multicam.

About The Brown Buffalo
The Brown Buffalo is a California design house founded by Douglas Davidson, who spent more than two decades designing for Nike, The North Face, and Burton before building bags under his own name. Their bags are made in their own Southern California micro-factory, at a larger factory in Los Angeles, and with selected partners overseas. Capelle Miami picked The Brown Buffalo for their dedication and craftsmanship. Every stitch, seam, and zipper is chosen to last, and a bag that lasts is its own kind of luxury.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does it fit a 16 inch laptop?

How do the three carry modes work?
A padded handle for the briefcase hold. Backpack straps stow away and come out when you want them, with a sternum strap that removes entirely. A single adjustable strap turns it into a shoulder bag.
Is it water resistant?
Rated IPX4, which covers spray and rain. It is not submersible. Rinse with fresh water after saltwater exposure.
