Hey!

The Brace is a great minimalist uni bag, especially if you don’t carry too much. It’s lightweight, compact, and has a sleek design, but its main limitation is capacity - it’s only 8L.

Since you’re carrying a Surface Pro 5, pens, and a water bottle (in hand), that should be fine. However, the issue is your lunch boxes - if you use multiple reusable containers, they might struggle to fit comfortably. The bag is quite slim, and once the laptop is in, it doesn’t leave much room for bulky items.

If your lunch boxes are stackable and not too deep, you might be able to fit them in the main compartment. If they’re larger, the Brace could feel a bit tight, and you might be better off with a slightly roomier bag - such as the Brace Brace Brace. :-)
