Customer Reviews Travelpro Maxlite® 5 - Soft Tote

This Travelpro Maxlite 5 Soft tote is a keeper. Based upon seeing the "small" size online I didn't think this bag would hold much but whoa it did. The fabric is sturdy but soft and flexible so it can accommodate an overload of items. I took this bag on a recent 5-day trip to the Bahamas along with my international carry-on and the tote held one pair of size 10 orthopedic shoes, 1 pr sandals, a cross-body bag, 2 sweaters for the plane, all my electronic equipment, a book, my trip papers, and a few other sundries. The side compartment held most of the toiletries and all my medications. One of the front pockets held my small souvenirs from the trip. It's easy to rummage through in a hurry as I had to do to change from summer to winter clothes on the way back to NYC. The tote is light. The only issue is when it's jam packed the velcro on the strap cannot connect to the tote when the strap is put over the carry-on handle. Tote will slump a bit but still stays relatively in place. This tote enabled me to do this trip with just a carry-on. This is stellar for me as I always have to pack more foot ware for my challenged feet. I highly recommend this item. Don't let the size fool you. Enjoy!

I love all the features except one - the strap to attach to the roller board handle on my 2 wheel suitcase. The strap and velcro just do not hold and the whole bag slips to the wrong side of the handle. It is very frustrating and awkward. The strap should be replaced with a full sleeve.

I love it. My spouse and two other family members have purchased the same item after seeing mine. Only thing I would like better is for the zippered storage compartment on the of the tote to have more space.

Solid construction and many useful pockets for travel docs. I love the sleeve that slips easily over my roll-on handle. The bright color makes it easily distinguishable.

This tote bag will be a perfect addition to my other pieces. Quite roomy and with a lot of separate compartments, it is exactly what I've been looking for! Can't wait to use it!

Lightweight, durable, and loads of space. Very happy with it.

I have tried so many carry on bags over the years and I finally found one I love. This one fits a lot of stuff, plus is easily accessible when stuffed under and airplane seat. Not to mention it actually fits under the seat leaving room for your feet,

LOVE this luggage piece so much! Perfect size for under the seat and so lightweight. We have the entire set of travelepro maxlite luggage and this was exactly the piece we needed. Will be using it this summer.

Great piece of luggage, reasonably priced, well made, holds a lot! I love how easily it slides on to the handle of my larger piece of luggage, also travelpro. Took them through a tour of Europe and they are holding up very well.

Great for an overnight bag or for holding all of your bathroom essentials and chargers, socks, and underwear for a week long trip. Very easy to see and find what your are looking for due to the wide opening. The material is good as well, it can fit under an airline seat but also holds its shape. Would buy again and would recommend to others.

Great tote bag! It's a great size and fits perfectly under the seat of the airplane. It's small but surprisingly spacious. Excellent quality even when handled roughly trying to juggle suitcases and children

Roomy, lightweight bag with good organizational pockets. Would benefit from a water bottle holder. I had to turn it on its side to fit under a couple of airplane seats on a recent trip. Fit upright just fine under the seat on another flight.

Best carry on tote I've ever used. Holds a lot and fits under the airline seat.

Beautiful sturdy tote with lots of pockets to store and stuff things into! Fits perfectly under the seat in the airplane. Perfect for a quick getaway.

Nice carry on bag. Quality made. Color is muted which is nice.

This bag complements my luggage. Matching colors. Better if it had wheels.

Perfect size, lots of pockets for items needed quickly I'm airport.

I am thrilled with this bag. On my last trip I had a large purse which had medications, charging cords, power banks and my makeup. It was difficult to find a pen which we needed to fill out a form. This won't happen with this bag with a flat bottom and a wide opening.

looking forward to using my bag. I haven't had a chance to use it on a trip yet.

Excellent product. Simple and light. I love that it attaches to my roller.

Great tote for domestic flights and goes perfect with carry on

I am 68 yrs old and the tote bag in combination with the max lite spinner make it possible for me to travel regularly to visit grandkids without using a backpack and my purse. (I have a nylon foldable medium purse which fits inside the spinner.) It holds all I had in the backpack. The handle strap which attaches to the spinner handle is very handy and practical. The tote bag is large enough and I got both the tote and spinner in midnight blue which look classy. I'm so glad I got them both!

I have used exclusively Travelpro luggage for years. My last roll-on is looky pretty shabby. I will clean it up and donate it to foster kids. (They really need luggage!) These new pieces were my Christmas present to myself. The other one I wanted is out of stock. I hope to hear soon that it is available!

My wide loves it. Replacing the same bag that she's been using for 20+ years.

This piece is great! I appreciate all the pockets. It's lightweight enough not to be cumbersome. The shoulder strap and ability to latch onto one of my spinners makes this piece super easy to use.
