I have the medium elements tote that has been my go to everyday and travel bag. On a recent trip I felt as though I wanted a little more space as things were getting a little cramp. Thinking it would be out of place and not practical, I have been reluctant in wanting to move up to a larger size. I decided to give the flight tote in size large a go as I liked the idea of having a zipper to close the bag, having a secret zipped access pocket and having a luggage pass through. Once I received the large flight tote in black, I was blown away by the upgraded materials and shoulder strap. The bag seemed premium in comparison to my element tote and the larger size was not too big in comparison to the medium size. Fitting my usual travel gear in this larger size definitely left me room to spare in comparison to the medium size. If you are on the fence of getting a medium or large, I would lean towards getting the larger size. It is not as big as I had feared and I actually now prefer this size for my everyday use and for future travel. Choosing the flight tote in comparison to the element tote, you really get a premium feeling bag in which you won’t be disappointed in.
