The official YTONET catalogue
You know the weight already: the laptop, the charger, the binder, the lunch, the coffee that has to ride on top. A YTONET rolling bag takes that off your shoulder and puts it on two rubber wheels and a handle that locks at the second stop. Every card here prints the laptop it fits, how it rolls and what it measures, so you can settle the bag on a Sunday night and not think about it again until June.
Start with the bags people buy first
Rolling laptop bag, 17.3 inch, two wheels01Seven shelves
The rolling bags and rolling backpacks are what YTONET is known for. Around them sit the sleeves and totes that ride on a suitcase handle, the duffels and court bags, the trade bags, the cleaning caddies, and the pieces that clip to a walker or a wheelchair.
02Three things to settle first
The size of the laptop it was cut for, the way it moves, and the one feature that separates it from the bag beside it.
Every laptop bag on this site names the screen diagonal its sleeve was cut for, from a 13.3-inch cover to the 17.3-inch rolling bags. Measure corner to corner across the screen and match the figure; the sleeve is padded on both faces and sits against the stiffest wall of the bag.
The rolling bags run on two rubber wheels with a telescopic handle that locks at each stop. The four-wheel backpacks spin flat on a smooth floor and are the ones to pick for a long terminal; on a gravel path or a kerb, two wheels tip back and follow you.
The sleeves open on a top zip to a hundred and eighty degrees, so the laptop can be screened without leaving the case. The teacher totes and rolling bags open wide enough to drop a stack of folders in from above without unpacking what is already there.
03Bought first
Each card prints what it fits, how it moves, and the price from our last update. The rolling bags lead, the sleeves and totes follow, and the court, trade and cleaning bags close the list.

Twelve of 59 bags. The rest sit on the seven shelves above, and every figure here is the one from our last update of the YTONET approach.
04What we make
Forty seconds of the range as it is sold: the rolling bags, the backpacks, the sleeves and the caddies, one after another.
A YTONET rolling bag starts from the walk that wears a shoulder out: the parking lot, the ramp, the corridor, the flight of stairs at the end. So the handle is aluminium and locks at each stop, the wheels are rubber and run quiet on tile, and the laptop rides in a padded sleeve against the wheel side, where the frame is stiffest. The files go in front of it, where they can be reached without laying the bag down, and the water bottle goes in a side pocket that does not tip when the bag tilts back.
Around the rolling bags sit the pieces that ride with them. The sleeves and totes carry a strap that slides over the handle of a suitcase or a rolling bag, so two pieces move as one. The garment duffel folds a suit over itself and fits an overhead bin. The caddies and tool bags are cut from a heavier 900D and 1680D cloth with a stiff base, because they are set down on wet floors and gravel a dozen times a day. What we sell is that arrangement, in black first and in a dozen other colours after it.
That the cloth carries a coating a splash or a shower beads off, and that the zips are covered where rain runs down a bag. It is a claim about the fabric and the construction, not a promise that the bag is waterproof: a laptop left in an open bag in a downpour will get wet, and a rolling bag stood in a puddle will take water at the seam.
The longer answer to what this brand is lives on Read what YTONET makes and who it is for.
05Straight to a bag
The rolling bags first, then the backpacks, the teacher bags, the sleeves and the court bags. Each page holds its own bags, prices, colourways and laptop sizes.
Seventeen pages cut across the shelves, so a search for a 17.3-inch bag, a bag with a lock or a bag in black lands on the part of the YTONET shelves that answers it.
The rolling laptop bag is the bag people mean when they type our name, and this page holds every one we make. They all run on two rubber wheels with an aluminium handle that locks at each stop, and what separates them is the laptop size and the front: a combination lock on the bag that gets left on a train seat, a cup holder on the bag that does the school run, and a detachable lunch carrier on the teacher bag. The sleeve sits against the wheel side on all of them, where the frame is stiffest.
A rolling backpack is the bag for a day with a staircase in it: the straps come out at the station steps and go back behind their panel on the platform, and the frame stands the bag upright while you find a ticket. The choice on this page is the wheels. Two tip back and follow you over a kerb; four spinners run flat beside you on a terminal floor and detach as a trolley when the bag is worn instead.
A teacher's Monday is a laptop, a stack of marked work, a lunch and a coffee, carried from the car park to a room at the end of a corridor. The rolling teacher bag takes the stack and the laptop on two wheels, hangs the lunch in an insulated carrier that unclips at the staffroom fridge, and holds the coffee in a cup holder on the side. The tote is the second piece: it rides on the handle in the morning and goes to the desk on its own in the afternoon.
The sleeve is the smallest thing we make and the one with the largest pool of ratings behind it, and the reason is the number on the card: measure your laptop corner to corner across the screen and take the sleeve that names that figure. Four sizes, one construction, a zip that opens flat so the laptop comes out in one movement.
A 17.3-inch laptop is the one most backpacks refuse, and this page holds every bag we cut around it: three rolling bags, one sleeve and one gym backpack. On the rolling bags the sleeve sits against the wheel side, where the frame is stiffest; on the gym backpack it sits against the back panel. The sleeve on its own is the case to keep it in inside anything else.
A tennis bag is cut around the racket and the shoes, and both get their own room here: a padded compartment for two rackets with the heads protected, a ventilated bay for the shoes so the rest of the bag does not smell of them, and an insulated front pocket that keeps a drink cold through a match. The six-racket bag is the same idea for someone who carries a team's worth.
06Who decides what
Four people, four decisions you can hold a card against. Mei settles the frame and the wheels, Daniel the cloth and the coating, Priya the sizes a sleeve is cut for, and Tom reads what you write in.

Decides what a rolling bag rides on and says so on the card. Two rubber wheels and a locking telescopic handle on the rolling laptop bags, four spinner wheels on the backpacks meant for a terminal floor, a detachable trolley where the bag has to go up a flight of stairs on its own.
Picks the weight of nylon or polyester for the floor the bag is set down on and keeps the coating on it. 900D on the caddies and the sleeves, 1680D on the tool bags, a water-resistant finish on nearly everything, and a stiff base board where a bag has to stand up on its own.
Cuts the sleeves the cards print: 13.3, 14, 16 and 17.3 inches on the covers, 15.6 and 17.3 on the rolling bags and backpacks. A figure on a card is the screen diagonal the padded sleeve was made for, so the fit is a measurement rather than a guess.
Reads what you write in and fixes the page when you are right. A pocket count that argues with the photograph, a colour named wrongly, a dimension that is off by an inch: the correction goes on the page, and the address is at the foot of every one of them.
07On the road
Twelve frames from the catalogue, each one a bag on a street, at a gate, at a switchboard or on a chair, with what is in the frame written under it.












08Before you order
Most exchanges we hear about start the same way: the laptop size came off a memory and the bag size came off a photograph. Take three measurements once and the figures on every card turn into a filter.
Measure the screen diagonally, corner to corner, in inches. That is the figure a sleeve is cut for. A 15.6-inch laptop goes in a 15.6-inch bag; a 16-inch MacBook goes in the 16-inch sleeve, not the 15.6. Between two figures, take the larger: a sleeve that is tight will not take the laptop with a case on it.
A rolling bag stands where you put it: under a desk, in a classroom corner, in a car boot. Measure that space and read the dimensions line on the card, which prints the bag as length by width by height in inches. The 17.3-inch rolling bags stand around fifteen inches tall; the rolling backpacks around seventeen or eighteen.
A telescopic handle locks at each stop, and the comfortable one is the stop that puts the grip level with your hip bone when your arm hangs. Taller than that and the bag catches your heel; shorter and you walk bent. If you are over six feet, look for the bag with the longer handle run named on its page.
09In their words
Comments about our own bags, shown as they came in, with the bag each one names linked underneath. The complaints are in: a handle that rattled and a zip that caught are worth more to you than another five stars.
★★★★☆
This is a very good and versatile backpack. I’m able to hold two racquets, two cans of balls, extra clothes and a water bottle with no problems. Overall unless you aren’t planning on bringing absolutely everything to the courts, it is a great backpack for a casual player. The only thing I dislike about the backpack is the laptop pocket’s placement. I bought this backpack because I go from my college to the courts very frequently and needed something to hold my MacBook for classes. While it does fit my 13” MacBook, only fits in the back pocket behind my tennis racquets. Every time I put the backpack down or when I’m walking I can hear my racquets hit and scrape against my MacBook.
★★★★★
This stylish bag makes rolling heavy files to and from work much easier! The retractable handle allows me to adjust the bag to a comfortable height for me to pull with ease as I am on the shorter side ( 5feet).
★★★★☆
I bought the smaller one, the L and this thing is perfect for DD and UE. But the big negative is that the zippers are hard to unzip quickly because they get caught. The shoulder straps are barely padded too but I’d say the construction is very sturdy and it has nice accessories even though I dont use it. Also the way to undo the tote style is hard but I appreciate the quality metal snap. The opening in the front or top has been super helpful. To get around the zipper issue, I just dont zip the cheap orders and it helps to vent a little to not steam the food to make it soggy.
★★★★☆
Great computer bag! Lot's of pockets for everything. Only negative is the padded compartment is in the front of the bag for the laptop, and if only the laptop is inside, it becomes front heavy and falls over. If you have equal or more weight in the back of the bag you're fine.
★★★★★
Loved the design and all the pockets. The wheels seemed well built. Took it on a train trip and rolling over multiple train tracks it did great! I really appreciated the straps to hold my larger water bottles. I am 5’ 10” tall and the height of the rolling handle worked well for me. Loved it!
★★★★★
I am new to owning a Mac, however I have had an iPad for a little while. I was looking for a computer bag to hold cords, a mouse, charging block and possibly even my tablet (iPad 10). This holds it ALL. Is stylish, padded and easy to carry. I kind of wish it had side hooks to add a shoulder strap. That would make it perfect! I did not deduct stars for this because is small enough to still put it in a bag for travel, while holding everything it needs to hold for my Mac and a tablet with its cord and block. (I did not rate water resistance as I have not needed to test that, yet)
★★★★★
I am a nurse and work in long term care. I usually haul a big bag to work for my 12 hour shifts and finally decided to get a rolling bag. Let me tell you! It has been a game changer! This bag is pretty big inside. It carries everything I need and is easy to use and set up.
★★★★★
I bought this cleaning caddy to use since I am a solo house cleaner. I care a decent amount of items with me when I go to my cleans, 8-10 products at a time. This cleaning caddy is very easy for me to transport everything I need. It had a sturdy base on wheels making this a stable solution to your cleaning needs. In terms of stability, I have had this cleaning caddy for about a year and I have had no issues.
★★★★★
They are durable and work great, BUT, the buckles came with the strap through them upside down and the strap would not bite on the buckle, so when you stood up with a load, the strap just pulled straight through the buckle. I flipped them, which takes a little effort, and they work great.
10Journal
How to choose between a rolling laptop bag and a rolling backpack, what a checkpoint-friendly sleeve actually does at security, what a teacher packs on a Monday and how a rolling bag takes it, and the arithmetic of a bag that has to fit an overhead bin.
Both take the laptop off your shoulder and put it on wheels, and people buy the wrong one for the same reason every time: they choose by the bag and not by the route. Where the stairs are, how long the corridor is, whether there is a kerb between the car and the door, and whether the bag has to be worn for any part of the day is what decides it.
A sleeve that opens flat is sold as a way through a checkpoint, and the claim needs unpacking. What TSA asks for in a standard lane, what changes with PreCheck, why the zip that opens to a hundred and eighty degrees matters for the thirty seconds at the bin and not for the officer, and what to do with the ice pack in the lunch carrier.
A laptop, a charger, two binders of marked work, a lunch, a water bottle, a coffee, a pencil case and a pair of indoor shoes: the Monday load of a teacher weighed and laid out, and where each thing rides in a rolling teacher bag so that nothing is on a shoulder between the car park and the classroom door.
The FAA gives one figure for most airlines, 45 linear inches, and every airline then sets its own. What the figure means, how to add up a rolling bag with its wheels and handle, why a garment duffel measured folded is a different bag from the same duffel measured open, and which of our bags go over your head and which go under the seat.
11Questions people ask
Seven of them. Longer answers live on the shelf pages and in the Journal.
Every buying button on this site opens the bag you were looking at, in the colourway you chose, at our retail partner. That is where you pick the colour, where the payment, the delivery and any return happen, and the price you see there is the price you pay.
If you are putting together a rolling bag and the tote that rides on it rather than buying one piece, the sets on a bag's own page open both at once, and the button at the foot of every page opens the whole range.
Measure your laptop corner to corner across the screen, in inches, and hold that figure against the size on the card: 13.3, 14, 15.6, 16, 17 or 17.3. A sleeve is cut for the diagonal it names. Between two figures, take the larger, and take the larger anyway if the laptop wears a hard case. The three measurements block further up this page walks through the laptop, the bag and the handle.
Tipped back on its two wheels, one step at a time, yes: the wheels are rubber and the frame is stiff enough that the bag does not fold over the step. Carried, also yes, by the top handles, and the teacher bag and the four-spinner backpack detach from their trolleys so the bag goes up light. What no rolling bag does is climb a staircase on its own, and the rolling backpacks exist for the person who meets one twice a day.
Water-resistant, and the cards say that word and not the other. The cloth carries a coating that a shower beads off, and the zips are covered where rain runs down a bag. A bag stood in a puddle takes water at the seam, and a sleeve left open in a downpour lets water in at the zip; the word on every card here is water-resistant.
The rolling bags, the backpacks and the folded garment duffels measure inside the 45 linear inches the FAA gives as the limit for most airlines. The airline sets the limit that applies, and some are stricter, so read the dimensions line on the card against your carrier before you pack, and keep the laptop in the cabin if a bag has to be gate-checked.
The same 15.6-inch rolling frame with three things changed for a classroom: an insulated lunch carrier that clips to the front and unclips at the staffroom fridge, a cup holder on the side, and a trolley that comes off so the bag goes up a flight of stairs by its handles. The teacher tote is the piece that rides on its handle in the morning and goes to the desk on its own after.
Since 2013, and the rolling laptop bag was the first thing made under the name. What has changed in that time is the handle, the wheels and the cloth; what has not is the idea of a bag that takes the laptop and the day's files off a shoulder. The longer answer is on the page about the brand.
