Photograph: Lo & SonsThe most versatile backpack we have tested is this one. Four padded pockets for easy organization are included in the insert. If you want to use the insert to store baby gear for quick conversion into a diaper bag, you'll need to put all your tech in the insert.
Unfortunately, the attached luggage loop on this neoprene affair isn't an eco-friendly material. Attach the bag to the suitcase while you're on the road. The bag comes in some bright color schemes that other bags don't.
The bag is made from recycled material. It's a standard issue pack, but it can be a good thing. The bag is backed by a lifetime guarantee and there is room for a laptop in the main compartment.
The tote bag, briefcase, and sling deals are available.

Cuyana is an oversized recycled sling bag.
Photograph: CuyanaThe bag is made from recycled plastic. It's a catch-all for the luggage of WIRED reviewer Medea Giordano, who once managed to cram in a pool floaty and high heels. You can pop this sling in the washing machine if you put it in a bag.
The best tote bag we've tested is this one. This bag will distribute the weight evenly, and it can handle anything you put inside. Everything is kept where it belongs with a full zip and lots of pockets.
Your investment will be stylish for a long time because of the classic design of this bag. While we like the traditional design of the bag, it doesn't have a full zip and it isn't waterproof.
The case was brought by Stuart and Lau Cary.
Photograph: Stuart and LauThe internal laptop case that pops in and out is genius. You can separate your errand pickup from your normal carry by using the bag. The umbrella loop is something we like.
The bag is made from recycled material The internal pocket is for gadgets 13 inches or under and the external pocket is for tablets or e-readers. There are pockets on the entire thing.
This is one of the best deals we've seen for this bag, which is made from recycled plastic. The built-in luggage pass-through makes it perfect for travel. A tote and a suitcase are no longer needed. You will be one of those people who roll their luggage at the airport.
There are camera bag deals.
We have a guide for the best camera bags.
There's a camera bag.
Photograph: WandrdThis is our favorite sling and it's rare because the Roam is out of stock a lot. It can fit a lot of things. The straps on the bottom of the bag can be attached to a tripod. It is made of 1680D nylon and is water resistant. You can store your laptop vertically in the sling with the wandrd's laptop case, which is on sale for $47.
WandrdB&H Photo ($249)Moment ($191, Bag Only)This is a review of the camera bag by the WIRED reviewer. It has a lot of pockets, pouch, and zip ties. Expansion on the go is something we appreciate. The photo bundle includes a waist strap, various accessory straps, and a camera cube.
Do you want your fellow subway riders to know that you have a lot of expensive equipment on you? It's a good option. There are a lot of internal organization options within the roomy main compartment.
A camera backpack.
Photograph: BreviteOur favorite backpack is this one. It's affordable and comes in a wide variety of colors. There's a quick-access pocket on the side for on-the-go photography or videography, and a rear pocket to keep your laptop safe. The divider allows you to keep your gear organized. The base has straps on it.
The straps on the bottom of the sling are great for awkward objects. One of the pockets has a number of pouch for accessory organization. There is a front-most pocket lined with faux fur.
There is a void in the camera bag. It's a great option for runners who want to take selfies on their morning jogs. Scott Gilbertson likes to hike and bird watch.
The access to the Duffel was obtained via the wandrd.
Photograph: WandrdThere's more than enough room for this backpack. It is possible to stuff it full of camera gear and still have room for other items. It's perfect for a travel carry-on if you don't want to check a bag but still want to protect your camera bodies. The WIRED reviews editor used it as his backpack and carry-on during his road trip aroundIceland this summer. The Camera Cube Essential Plus can be added to maximize organization.
The bag was designed for street photographers. It's a great pickup if you're frequently out in the field. The design is rugged anddurable but not at the expense of comfort. You can grab a new memory card with a magnetic clip.
The bag is currently being tested by a WIRED reviewer. There is padded protection for a laptop, and you can access your camera through the top or side. Either wear it as a backpack or carry it with you. The top can be closed using a magnetic clasp or a zip.
The weekend Monterey Sling.
Photograph: MomentThis bag can be converted to a pack. It doesn't have the largest storage capacity so it may be more attractive to people who prefer compact cameras or shoot on a phone. It's adorable.
This is a great way to organize and corral your tech accessories. It has a smaller tech organizers for things like cables. The organizers are rigid so that you don't get lost in a sea of gear inside your bigger bag.
