Here at The Coolector, our seemingly endless search for the perfect bag is something of a professional obsession. We’re after that elusive piece of everyday carry that can effortlessly navigate the chaotic rhythm of modern life – a bag that looks just as at home in a Monday morning board meeting as it does on a Friday afternoon flight.


Well, chaps, the search might just be over. Allow us to introduce the Mission Workshop Drift Laptop Tote, a masterclass in adaptability and rugged construction that genuinely seems to do it all without ever breaking a sweat. This isn’t just a bag; it’s a versatile cargo system for your entire life.

The genius of the Drift lies in its chameleon-like ability to be whatever you need it to be, whenever you need it. On a weekday, it’s a sophisticated and highly organised laptop bag, ready for the commute. Come the weekend, it’s your go-to for a run to the market or a trip to the gym.

And when adventure calls, its roomy 28-litre main compartment transforms it into the perfect weekender duffle. The team at Mission Workshop has clearly thought about the fluid nature of our schedules, creating a single bag that eliminates the need for a cluttered collection of lesser alternatives. Whether you’re carrying it by its robust seatbelt-webbing handles or slinging it over your shoulder with the adjustable strap, it adapts to the role required with understated confidence.


Dive inside, and you’ll find that its clever design is more than skin deep. A bag with a large capacity is only useful if it offers a degree of order, and the Drift delivers in spades. The interior is a haven of organisation, featuring dedicated, padded pockets that keep your most important tech secure, including your laptop and a tablet.
Beyond that, designated spots for your phone, important documents, keys, and even a water bottle mean an end to the frustrating rummage for essentials. This leaves the cavernous main compartment free to hold everything else, from a change of clothes and camera gear to books and snacks, all kept neatly in their place.

Mission Workshop is renowned for its use of best-in-class materials, and the Drift proudly continues this tradition by offering a choice of three exceptional fabrics. For those after a rugged, urban-tactical aesthetic, there’s the iconic MultiCam® Black Cordura®. If you prefer a more technical, lightweight, and weatherproof option, the X-PAC VX21 is an impeccable choice.

And for lovers of classic heritage style, the Martexin Original Waxed Canvas promises to develop a unique and handsome patina over a lifetime of use. Each option provides uncompromising durability, ensuring this tote is ready for the long haul.

For those longer journeys, the Drift reveals its final trump card: a luggage handle pass-through. This seemingly small detail is an absolute game-changer for navigating busy airports, allowing you to securely slip the tote over your rolling luggage for effortless transit.

It’s this level of thoughtful detail that sets Mission Workshop apart. For $320, the Drift Laptop Tote is a worthy investment in superior functionality and style. It’s a ruggedly handsome and incredibly capable companion, built to go wherever you do and to handle whatever you throw at it.
