Ecogear Mohave Tui backpack review



Mesh pockets are located on the left and right side of the bag, these can be used to take two small bottles with you.





The rear has padded shoulder straps, which feel pretty comfortable.



Obviously, the shoulder straps are adjustable in height.



This little mesh sticks out a bit, it feels pretty soft and is designed to wick moisture away.



Now that I've covered the exterior of the Mohave Tui it's time to take a close look at its insides. The interior has some orange highlights but other than that it looks pretty dull. There's enough room for my 15.4" Dell Inspiron 6000 series laptop, and I could also fit in the Lowepro Cirrus TLZ 25 camera bag with my dSLR camera, but I have to admit that this is a pretty tight fit and that the backpack isn't really designed to be used this way. Alternatively, the backpack is also great for carrying textbooks to school.



This flap is probably designed to hold back your laptop, so it doesn't fall out of the bag when you open it.



The company's slogan is "Saving the world one bag at a time". The bags should be greener than traditional ones, and the company also promises that a portion of its proceeds will be donated to global organizations that are helping to protect the environment.




Conclusion
The Mohave Tui is a good all-round backpack, it's not huge yet it enables you to take quite a lot of stuff with you in a comfortable way. Environmentally aware people will like the bag because it's less harmful to the environment than other backpacks, but even if you don't care a lot about the environment you'll likely enjoy the Mohave Tui because of its nice set of features. The backpack can be bought on the company's site for $39.99.
