This Stubble&Co Tech Bag review is based on real-world general and travel use, focusing on build quality, organisation, and everyday practicality.
TL:DR
I bought the Stubble&Co Tech Bag because I needed a larger, more reliable and better organised tech bag for travel, office days and running a travel blog. It keeps my hard drives, cables and accessories secure, uses waterproof materials and has a much more practical layout than the tech kit I used before. It fits neatly inside both my rolltop and my Adventure Bag carry on, without anything getting crushed.

Why I Chose the Stubble&Co Tech Bag
I chose the this Tech Bag because I needed something that actually worked for how I move around with tech. I usually carry hard drives and a multi-port GaN charger. Plus cables and small accessories between home, the office and trips. This means I rely on a tech bag that keeps everything organised, easy to access and properly protected.
My old tech kit needed replacing because it was not living up to its marketing hype. I also wanted something a little larger, made from waterproof materials and at least splashproof in real use. The last thing I want is a drink knocked over near my gear. Or worse still then discovering that hard drives holding photos and video footage have been ruined.
The Stubble&Co Tech Bag stood out because it looked practical, simple and purpose built. It is designed to keep tech neatly arranged, tangle free and ready to grab. Rather than bouncing around loose inside a pouch.
At the time I purchased the Tech Bag, three colour options were offered. All Black came with an orange inner material. Midnight Blue used a lighter grey inner liner. My choice was Urban Green which also featured the bright orange interior. The bag is made from recyclable materials, which adds a welcome sustainability benefit.
Internal Organisation and Layout
What really makes this bag work is the internal layout. It is not over complicated. Instead it has a set of pockets and elastic sections that are actually usable.
Inside the Tech Bag, the layout includes:
- One main internal zipper pocket for items that need extra security
- Two elastic mesh pockets, which I use for LaCie SSD drives because they fit nicely and stay put
- Three elastic straps for securing other items or a flat external hard drive. My Sandisk Extreme SSD sits perfectly and securely in one of these
- Two small pouches, which is ideal for batteries or SD card cases
- A larger pocket above those smaller pouches, which fits a wireless mouse nicely
- Open space on both sides of the internal zipper pocket for extra items or other gear of your choice
- Two elastic pen/pencil straps
On the outside, it has:
- A tough nylon hand carry strap on one end. This makes it easy to hook on a couple of fingers when your hands are full
- An external zipper pocket for items you want to reach quickly
This setup keeps everything separated while still allowing me to open the bag and see everything at a glance.
How the Stubble&Co Tech Bag Fits Inside My Travel Gear
I regularly fit the Tech Bag into my Stubble&Co Roll Top Backpack when I go to the office. It slots in cleanly, and the nylon hand strap makes it easy to pull out without having to dig around.
It also fits very nicely inside my Stubble&Co Adventure Bag travel carry on. The material is not rigid, which makes it easier to pack clothing and other items around it. Nothing feels crushed or squashed and the contents remain protected. This flexibility is important for travel, because bags rarely sit perfectly flat or empty in real life. Even if you wanted to keep it separate, it is small enough to qualify as a small under-seat item, which many airlines allow in addition to carry-on luggage. For example, Emirates lists their small under-seat item allowance here.
Why I Replaced My Last Tech Kit with the Stubble&Co Tech Bag
Before switching to this Tech Bag, I used the Carryology Tech Kit from Bellroy. After using it on a few trips, I realised it was not working for what I needed.
Nothing really stayed in place. Hard drives slid around inside the pouch and stacked on top of each other. There were only elastic straps for cable organisation and no internal zips. The magnet feature felt impractical, especially near external hard drives, and the build was semi rigid without being waterproof or splashproof.
There was no external carry handle. Once I added a mouse and a charger block, there was very little room for anything else and it became fiddly to use. It simply had to go.
The Stubble&Co Tech Bag solves all of these issues with waterproof materials, a better pocket layout and a more thoughtful design.
First Impressions in Use
In daily use, the Stubble&Co Tech Bag feels straightforward and dependable. The zips run smoothly, and the double outer zips open in both directions, which makes it easy to open from either side.
The internal mesh pockets hold my LaCie drives securely. The elastic straps stop other items from shifting around, and the larger pocket above the camera battery and SD pouches is ideal for a wireless mouse. Cables stay separated rather than forming a tangled knot.
The waterproof materials give me reassurance when I am working or in cafés, travelling or moving through busy spaces where spills and splashes can happen.
Final Thoughts
The Stubble&Co Tech Bag does what I needed a tech organiser to do. Think of the Tech Bag like a packing cube for securing your tech. The internal bright orange liner makes it easy to see where everything is placed, and it contrasts well against black or blue accessories. This product would also make a great gift for any occasion, creator, influencer, business use or anyone that likes to keep things in order!.
It even works fine with LaCie Rugged drives, although mine are black and blue rather than the classic orange. Another great benefit of the hand strap is how quickly you can pull the Tech Bag out for airport scanners, especially in older airports where you still need to take half your carry on apart to get through security.
It keeps my tech gear secure, uses a sensible internal layout, fits into the bags I already use and makes packing simpler rather than more time consuming. If you want a tech bag that focuses on practical organisation, waterproof materials and real world usability, this one is worth a look. It has already replaced my previous tech kit and feels like a proper upgrade.
