Day Bag XL

The Day Bag XL is a great standalone bag for the seasoned airline traveler, even if that wasn't the original intention (Cancha specializes in raquet bags). The water-resistant nature, subdued and utilitarian appearance, pocketing and segmentation is perfect - especially for (in my case) military folks who tend to use common inserts they move from bag to bag. Some features I truly appreciated:

- The material is light and easy to clean. The bag doesn't add much weight; if you carry a lot, you won't be adding much to it. Easily wiped off with a germ-wipe or soap & water after sitting underneath an airplane seat - priceless. The slightly stiffened sidewall of the bag is also very much appreciated - not just for the appearance, but for function.
- No handle on top, but a loop. The loop on top is great for a carabiner, or in my case a "Heroclip" that allows me to hang it off the handle of my suitcase for ease as I walk around the airport... or the magazine rack on the airline seat which keeps most of the surface off the floor.
- Laptop sleeve is great - just enough segmenting. Keeps it from flopping around with my other stuff.
- Spacious outer pouch. The inside volume somehow doesn't diminish the remaining space of the outer pouch on the front. Genius design!
- Shoulder straps are awesome. So many companies get this wrong. Not only did you get fitment right for someone who has a larger chest than waist (cutting them to flare out), you made them **completely removable** to change the carry options. Thank you thank you thank you for that. You can carry as a backpack, as a sling bag, or switch to briefcase mode with the handle on the side.
- Stands up when sitting, better than any well-trained puppy. The bottom is so thin that it should fall over but inexplicably does not. Another genius design point!

No one asked me, but what I'd add (it's great as-is; there's definitely nothing to subtract):
- Another loop on top to balance the one already there;
- Velcro (or other) closure for top pockets on the inside flap; when top-loading they work great, but any other time when you open it clamshell style, things fly out - almost makes the pouches unusable. Maybe a zipper like you have for the lower one that runs the length of the lid.
- a few of those laser-cut attachment points perhaps on the front of the bag, for the smaller Day Bag or other such add; that might not work with the thinnness of the current lid/closure flap, but something to consider if you come out with an even more (purposely intended - this works really well as-is by the way) standalone Day Bag XL. Stiffen the lid a bit, add attachments and call it the Day Bag XL Hiking. I've seen your hiking offering and it was just a bit too big for me.

If you look at the pictures, I engineered a few of my own upgrades that you could offer as options. The sternum strap now has a Fidlock buckle (I like the ease of magnets); I added some velcro for identification markers (might be a military thing but they come in handy): I wrapped up loose straps to avoid hanging or catching on things, something you can do with small elastic bands or some other commercial solution; replaced zipper pulls with shock-cord, makes them easier to grab if your hands are wet/have something on them, it's cold or anything else that reduces manual dexterity.

Great bag. I can't help but add my own comments about improvements, but if you are looking for about 15L of carry-on capacity for your personal gear, and can build your own insert/means for segmenting and packing contents, get this bag. This is my 11th attempt to find a great solution and think I'm now settled.

I love how this bag allows me to organize the things I need most while traveling and keeping them at my fingertips. It also allows me to throw in a few items that don’t need organization (towels, glasses w/cases, type 1 diabetes supplies, tennis balls, etc. exceptional materials and workmanship! Adding this to my Pro Racquet bag and wet/dry bag makes for a very high quality system for transporting my tennis essentials.

I thought I was buying a bag for tennis that would attach to my Voyager racket bag. I think Cancha needs to decide whether or not they're making an additional bag for a tennis bag or whether they're making a day pack because putting a laptop insert in something made for a tennis bag is just silly..
The bag is too small, I don't see the laptop sleeve, and I don't need, padded straps, etc.
What I did need and did not come with the bag were the special Cancha clips. The their credit they got a set to me right away after I contacted them. Bottom line to me the bag is too small, I want it taller and thicker.

This is a lovely bag that can be used as a back-pack or laptop bag or can easily be attached to your tennis bag . It has plenty of space inside it for laptops, notebooks, phones, wallet or any tennis cans, etc. and is waterproof. Cleverly designed to accommodate work & tennis stuff in one bag...

Great bag. Very good size. Hardware is solid. The handle and strap placement is odd in that the opening is down jnstead of up. Have to be extra careful ablut securing contents.

I use the Day Bag XL as my briefcase for my teaching materials, laptop, iPad, attendance logs, wallet, keys, and other miscellaneous items. When used in conjunction with my Racquet Bag Pro I have everything I need for a full day of teaching tennis or traveling to a tournament. Improved materials, features, and hardware make this even better than the original. I know, hard to believe but it’s true!

Great bag. Very rugged and waterproof. And cooler than ice cool.

I really appreciate having this day bag, which attaches to my main Cancha bag. If I need to bring work stuff along to the court, it all fits in here. And is waterproof!

Using this as my everyday work backpack is great! And when I want to go hit after or go to the gym, I attach the tennis bag, using it either as tennis or gym bag :)

The bag is well made and surprising light. I wish the double-zipper would not open opposite the handle though.
By my concern is the way the bag is packaged. It was folded pretty badly, giving it permanent creases. I would describe this as ‘damaged during shipping, by design’. It’s a shame because it gives a worn-out, trashy look to something that could have been quite nice.

I was leaving to soon to be able to return and exchanged it

Love the look and waterproof material
