TRANSIT Briefcase Main Compartment

BUILT-IN VERSATILITY

The internal padded and floating divider offers enhanced organization when you need it and can be pushed out of the way when you don’t. The padded sleeve accepts laptops sized up to 16” MBP. Additional drop-in slots fit e-readers, pens, cords, notebooks, or passports.

TRANSIT Briefcase Durability

ABSOLUTE PROTECTION

Two layers of 3mm foam cover the sides of TB20, with three layers protecting the base. This design provides structure and defense for your gear and supplies enough rigidity so it stands up well by itself.

TRANSIT Briefcase Handles

LOADING MADE EASY

Two (2) integrated 7075-grade aluminum stays near the main zipper line are light yet stiff, giving TB20 a unique ability to stand wide open for easy packing once unzipped.

TRANSIT Briefcase Internal Organization

COLLAPSIBLE BOTTLE POCKETS

Within the main interior of TB20 are two pockets that fold out when needed and collapse flat when not. Sized to fit items like water bottles, compact umbrellas, CAP0.5, or your charging cords.

TRANSIT Briefcase Handles

NO FUSS HANDLES

Some briefcases require annoying extra straps or velcro to keep handles close. TB20’s built-in handles are patterned to curve towards the center so they overlap and stay in the ready position.

TRANSIT Briefcase Luggage Pass Through

POCKETS & PASS-THROUGHS

Between the two layers of foam sit side access pockets. One side has drop-in pockets for EDC and a key leash. One size functions as a document pocket or can be deployed as a luggage pass-through sleeve via a secret zipper.

I've been using this bag every day for a year and it is the best bag I've ever owned. The build quality is incredible and the design is thoughtful. One standout feature for me is the dual bottle holders inside. I use one for my large Yeti water bottle, and the other for a large thermos of coffee and it still fits my computer, lunch bag and all the other things I need to pack around.

Transit Briefcase 20L

Fantastic quality bag that you can tell was designed with every detail in mind. Great for daily travel. Huge fan of this bag and this company.

Customer photo review of Transit Briefcase 20L

I’ll start by saying I am a back pack person, so I originally bought the TB20 thinking I’d use it occasionally but not as my daily carry. I own 7 Evergoods bags. The TB20 is my favorite hands down. Airport travel? Huge win. It fits under seat, rigid enough to ride overhead standing up, and quick enough to grab important documents fast. The luggage pass through is fantastic. The handles on top are strong enough to support other bags latched on if needed. Mobile office also a win. The internal organization is flexible to accommodate larger items and finite enough to discreetly sort memory cards, adapters, mouse, etc…. And the suspended sleeve is voluminous enough to hold a tablet and laptop. And as a commuter bag it shines. As long as you’re mindful of the pack out the shoulder strap provides enough support for a typical commute. And the quick access is really against the standout feature. If they ever do a waxed olive version or some other special variant it will be an instant buy.

I work in the liquor/wine industry so I always need to present sample and tasting. Besides the whole bag being awesome - To have 2 bottles of wine/liquor secure and hidden is another great feature.

Transit Briefcase 20L

Love this thing! Looks so professional, but not stuffy at all. First my aesthetic more than many briefcase looking bags for the office, and love that it self-stands like a boss!! Some people say it is too big, but I beg to differ. I think if you want a smaller bag, go for something else, but if you need the room, this absolutely perfectly designed for the size. Thanks EVERGOODS!!!

Transit Briefcase 20L

Top-notch quality definitely what I was looking for and everything you would expect with an evergoods product A++

Transit Briefcase 20L

Big fan of the Evergoods Transit Brief. The construction is rock solid—everything feels durable, premium, and built to handle daily use without breaking down. One of my favorite features is how it stays open when you set it down. It makes accessing your gear quick and frustration-free, especially when you’re on the go. The storage is also really well thought out. Clean layout, intuitive pockets, and no wasted space—everything just fits where it should. If you want a professional-looking bag that’s tough, functional, and easy to use, this one delivers.

Transit Briefcase 20L

Love the laptop bag. I don't always want to wear a backpack nor can I wear two back packs at a time so this gives me that flexibility of having both when on the go. Love the build quality and thoughtfulness of the layout. Holds all of my laptop accessories with plenty of room to spare.

Transit Briefcase 20L

Using this bag for about a month now. Nice things about this bag: Stands upright on it own. Sits stable on the floor. Opens wide and stays open. Set in on the floor next to my desk and can easily see bag contents and move them in and out during the day. CAP 1 pouch fits next to the laptop sleeve easily. The handles don’t flop around. Grab them and you’re ready to go. Internal bottle holders are nice. Bottle in one, small pouch in the other.

Transit Briefcase 20L

Big fan of the carry overall, but ideal if the size was slightly smaller. Confused why a briefcase would be slightly larger than the CPL24? Another ding for the flaps securing the metal rods on either side stick out ever so slightly. So depending on how you reach into the bag, there is a slightly risk of rubbing your hand past the sharp corner of the Velcro stitched pieces.

Transit Briefcase 20L

I was looking for a new bag to fit my larger Lenovo Thinkpad when I came across the brief on YouTube. I had three different companies in consideration that claimed to fit a 17 inch laptop but before I purchased the brief I reached out to each customer service group to ask about the sizing on the laptop sleeve. I received a personalized response from Evergoods that really conveyed to me they actually took a few measurements to confirm my laptop would fit. The other two companies I'd contacted did return responses but were quite generic and really seemed to me like AI generated responses based on their advertised spec's. They did not give me enough confidence to pursue these bags further. I ordered the brief from Evergoods and confirmed my Lenovo Thinkpad fit quite well. The bag is a great overall size for my needs between work and using it for a personal item on flights. I also really like how it stands up on its own. I don't have to worry about propping it up against a table leg at meetings to keep it from falling over. I also appreciate how slicked up and smooth the bag is. It can tuck neatly into vehicles and the handles don't grab onto things when retrieving it. Overall I'm quite pleased with my purchase of the briefcase and hope to hang onto it for many years.

Transit Briefcase 20L

Perfect briefcase for work. Even fits a 46oz yeti!

Transit Briefcase 20L

Had this briefcase for almost a year now and I love it. It fits all the CAP 0.5 , 1 and 2 perfectly, suspended laptop sleeve is great, the material just has a mesmerizing feel to it. The handles and the removable no frills shoulder strap are one of the things I like the most. Someone mentioned it doesn’t have a luggage pass through. What? It absolutely does have a luggage pass through! One of the outer pockets has a zipper on the underside of the pocket that you can open creating a luggage pass through. Wish I could get it in more colors I’d probably get all of them.

Transit Briefcase 20L

This bag nails it. Exactly what I needed for my everyday carry to work. I love how it can sit next to my desk open and I can access anything easily. Same for at a coffee shop. I have it perfectly loaded with exactly what I need. Also great for travel, particularly airports.

Transit Briefcase 20L

Think of this as more of an airplane personal item than a sleek business briefcase. Functionality wise there is a lot to like. Huge capacity, stands on it own, very protective laptop sleeve, internal water bottle pockets, enough admin organization, luggage pass-through. I don't carry that much for work and prefer backpacks for travel but I can see this as perfect for short business trips.

Transit Briefcase 20L

Excellent for my business trip if I need a backpack and a carry-on. Huge volume for several gears. Dark black which is suitable for visiting serious partners such as financial institutions. Also good for putting large souvenirs for business travel.

Transit Briefcase 20L

Given how specific this bag is, it is an ideal fit for my use case. I work between two different offices- I spend 8-10 hours at each on any given day, so I want a full portable office set up. I have a 15" MacBook, 16" external monitor, external keyboard, mouse, hard drive, AirPods and all accompanying power/chords. I also have a mousepad, glasses, keys, pen/pencil, checkbook, wallet. Everything fits comfortably, with room to spare.

Transit Briefcase 20L

I'm corporate pilot and I have been using this bag as my flight bag. It's meets all my needs. My Clarity Aloft headsets case fits perfectly inside along with my iPad, laptop, cables, book, flashlight, first aid, journal, pens, passport, inflatable pillow, etc. Great it has a pass through for my roller bag. Extremely comfortable to carry with the shoulder strap or by grab handles. Beautifully designed with sturdy materials. Also, I purchased the pouches to organize everything within the briefcase. Worth the price! LOVE IT!!

Transit Briefcase 20L

Good alternative to backpack for computer and a few items. A little narrower than expected and outside pocket is not really usable if the main compartment is fully packed. Interior organization is great.

Transit Briefcase 20L

I’ve held off on writing my review in order to put my briefcase to work. In a number of online reviews of the product, there was a general opinion that somehow, a briefcase was supposed to act like a backpack or a shoulder bag. What I wanted was neither of those things. For myself, transporting my laptop, notebooks, and other tools for what I’ll call “office work”, an old fashioned briefcase was what I needed. After a few weeks use, I know I’ve found that solution in the Transit Briefcase. The design is simple and intelligent. Internal organization, most specifically the floating laptop sleeve, has been well thought out. The interior pockets on mine hold a 24 ounce water bottle on one side and the half-liter Civic Access Pouch on the other. The padding has me convinced I’d have to really work hard to damage any of the bags contents. I’d make the purchase again without hesitation and, if it were offered in Coyote Tan, buy a second one in a heartbeat.

Transit Briefcase 20L

This bag is a dream. Good organization, extremely well built and durable, and comfortable to carry/wear. I only wish I had bought it sooner. Looking forward to acquiring more evergoods gear!

Transit Briefcase 20L

This briefcase is worth its weight in gold. The internal movable laptop sleeve makes it able to adapt to any work situation. I am amazed at how much this can carry and still be comfortable. On top of all this, it still retains its professional looking aesthetic! Cannot recommend enough.

Transit Briefcase 20L

From a functionality perspective, this bag is top notch. Perfect for my daily needs and thoughtfully designed. Fit and finish punches above its weight. However, the fabric is oddly prone to abrasions and scratches--after my first business trip with the TB20, it came back looking like it had been on the road for quite a while. I'm not particular hard on my gear so this was surprising.

Transit Briefcase 20L

Love this for my daily carry. Fits everything I need for work + going out and can even use it to pick up groceries, packages, etc. Feels great in the hand and construction quality looks top notch

Customer photo review of Transit Briefcase 20L

I've been using the Evergoods TB20 for about four months now. It features thoughtful organization, stands on its own, and offers versatile storage options. I use it exclusively for office and work as a physician, where I don't need much tech gear. Instead of a laptop, I carry an iPad Pro and telehealth equipment in a CAP 2L, along with clinic tools like a stethoscope, reflex hammer, and my lunch bag. The TB20's main strengths include its dual grab handles, luggage pass-through (which doubles as paper storage), and ample space for tech and work essentials. The design—like a sideways backpack—makes it more accessible than traditional briefcases. After switching from the PLC 20L, I find the TB20 better suited for office life. I appreciate its shoulder strap and wide opening, and don't mind its slightly stiff, narrow profile. The only minor issues are its height (tight fit under airplane seats) and stubborn side buckles.

Great Briefcase! Sleek and Professional with all of the storage you need for every day along with the organization and quality that you would expect from an Evergoods Item!

Transit Briefcase 20L

I love the ergonomic handles and how they feel in your hands. It is a smart design. It holds my typical loadout comfortably, although I wish it had a little more volume given its dimensions. It is bigger than I thought it would be. This bag would be perfect for a waxed canvas offering! It looks very professional and waxed canvas would make it looks even better. The mobile laptop compartment is innovative and helpful for fitting different loadouts. An area for improvement is that the strap could be thicker and more padded to improve comfort.

Transit Briefcase 20L

I’ve always wanted a rectangular shaped briefcase, this one is perfect

Transit Briefcase 20L

I bought this bag for a weird reason and I'm glad I did: I primarily wanted it to carry my CPAP machine when I travel so I don't have to carry the tell-tale bag it comes with. When I travel I usually carry my CTB35, and I was finding that the CPAP machine and its case took up about half the size of that bag so I'd also have to bring roller luggage to fit all my other stuff, (which I dislike). So I was wanted something that I could carry in tandem with the CTB35 - and this fits the bill perfectly. Not only does it fit all the CPAP hardware, but I can fit my CAP1 with toiletries, as well as a few other small items, inside. I can also fit a large hardcover book in the outer pocket and access it easily (i.e., I found the pocket and the opening large enough to easily slide the book in and get it back out). And with any bag like this I'm always concerned with how the shoulder strap would dig into my neck as I wore it cross-body, but once I found the right length the shoulder strap on this thing didn't dig at all. Finally, some might say it's a bit big for what it is, but for my uses it's a perfect size. Bottom line: with this and the CTB35 I can carry everything I need for a multi-day trip, haul a** through the airport while doing it, and not have to deal with baggage claim after a flight.

Transit Briefcase 20L

Great bag! High quality. Love the shoulder strap.

Transit Briefcase 20L

I was a little nervous about this bag before it arrived. Some reviews weren’t very reassuring. I use this as my office laptop bag and the size, though a hair big, serves me well. Just enough organization to keep my office gear in order.

Transit Briefcase 20L

I love this bag! At first, I thought that it might be a little large for a briefcase but after using it on a trip, I am in love! This bag is extremely functional!

Transit Briefcase 20L

I've been using a tired old briefcase for years and I finally upgraded to the TB20 after purchasing all of the access pouches. I love how it opens like a Doctor's bag and stands up by itself. It's a perfect fit for my 14in and 16 in laptop along with my water bottle, CAP 0.5, CAP 1.0, and CAP 2.0 as well as a light jacket, beanie 2 glasses cases and a few other every-day odds and ends. Love the minimal but comfortable handles and shoulder strap. Keep up the solid work you guys!

Transit Briefcase 20L

finally the perfect briefcase... can stand up on it's own, can accommodate multiple laptops; I keep a CAP1 for chargers and CAP0.5 for my media kit in it, a notebook, laptop power bank, and water bottle. document folio, iPad pro 12.9, and MBP 16"; could put another MBP in there instead of the iPad 12.9, or accommodate all three by reducing the other kit. Perfect for a hefty work travel tech kit, which I need as an engineer who also brings a personal laptop on all travel
