TLDR
The Monster Truck is the biggest multipurpose tote that we think is reasonable for someone to carry. It's a great tote for when the universe tasks you with carrying a lot of stuff.
- Thoughtful design: With three open-top compartments, loading and organizing your essentials becomes a breeze. Center compartment boasts a sewn-in plastic stiffener for stability and shape retention
- Smart storage: The Monster Truck doesn't compromise on storage. Front and back pockets provide dedicated spaces for stowing away your tablet, book, or other quick-access items
- Comfortable carry: Equipped with handles made with PORON® foam padding for extra comfort

Full Description
3 Open-Top Compartments
The Monster Truck has three open-top compartments. They are easy and intuitive to load up and will likely swallow more than you expect.
The center compartment is stabilized by a sewn-in piece of plastic stiffener. We recommend storing your heaviest items in this compartment, such as jugs of milk or other chunky items from your grocery run. If you're using this as a laundry bag, we think the Monster Truck could absorb a week's worth of laundry. The side compartments are almost equally as capacious as the center compartment. If you're using the Monster Truck as your gym bag, this is a perfect place to fit a large pair of shoes.
There are two O-rings, one of which includes a Key Strap, located in the center compartment and one O-ring in each side compartment. For additional organization, you can add our pouches onto any of these four O-rings.
Exterior Open-Top Front and Back Pockets
Situated on either side of the center compartment, the front and back pockets are perfect for storing a larger tablet or book. You could also slip an average 13" laptop or the big iPad Pro in either pocket as well, though whether that's a good idea or not (there's no padding or secure closure) is up to you.
PORON® Foam-Padded Handles
Like our other carryall tote bags, the Monster Truck has comfortable PORON® foam-padded handles. The handles remain the same length as the Truck so you can still carry it over your shoulder, or directly in your hand if you're on the taller side.
What's Included
8" Snaphook/Snaphook Key Strap
As with most of our bags, we've included a key strap. 8" long from tip-to-tip, a snaphook on either end. Good for attaching your keys to.
What's Optional
Since the Monster Truck is a large open tote with simple compartments, it's the perfect bag for adding your own modular organization, if you want. We recommend taking a look at our collection of organizational bags.

The Monster Truck bag is honestly the one I didn’t know I needed. I use it at the farmer’s market, where it’s perfect for filling with veggies on one side, fruits on the other, and even a potted plant in the middle and there’s still room to spare! I get so many compliments on both its look and its capacity.
I also take it to the grocery store, and it’s great for keeping my over-buying in check. If it doesn’t fit in the bag, I know I probably don’t need it. The only thing I wish it had is a way to close the top. There are times when I fill it up and don’t want anything spilling out.
Overall, though, it’s an amazing bag, and I’m really happy with my purchase!

I bought this bag after looking for a way to comfortably carry materials that I use to conduct trainings for work and travel with across the county. The Monster Truck bag is perfect. Ample room, the divided compartments are excellent, and the quality, bag size and holding capacity are outstanding. Thank you!

Love this bag! I use it as my work bag and take it for overnight call to the hospital. I keep my food & drink in one compartment, my computer and toiletry bag and clothes in the center compartment, and my work equiptment in the 3rd compartment. There are lots of d rings to help clip keys and AirPods to for easy access. I accidentally spilled my water bottle in one compartment and it didn’t track to any of the other compartments and beaded up perfectly. Couldn’t love this bag more!

I couldn’t find a decent bag to keep things in my trunk until I saw the Monster Truck! It is so well thought out and constructed that I can’t say one negative thing about it! I would buy every Tom Bihn bag if I could afford it. I use my Empire Builder from 2008 to this day!

This bag is the dogs dangles, huge!
Very versatile with it's 3 massive middle compartments and pockets at the sides and front and back.
I recently went on a beer run and this thing carried 56, yes 56 cans I it!
That brings me onto the craftsmanship, this feels solid and will last an age. On carrying the beer the bag felt balanced with a super strong handles and padding for my poor shoulders!
Loving the red colour too, wish I'd bought a second, but it's on my wishlist :)
If you're thinking about buying this...don't...JUST BUY IT!
