The 1″ Cafe/Ristretto Messenger Stabilizer is designed to keep your Cafe Bag, Imago or Ristretto bag close and prevent it from swinging around to the front when you’re riding your motorcycle or bicycle, or just moving fast on foot. It’s designed to work with the Small Cafe Bag, Medium Cafe Bag, Large Cafe Bag, Imago, and Ristretto for iPad, Ristretto for 11″ MacBook Air, and Ristretto for 13″ MacBook Air or Pro. Uses one-half of your bag’s waist strap (the half with the male buckle); if your Cafe Bag, Imago, or Ristretto doesn’t have a waist strap, you can order one here. FYI, we didn’t come up with this concept — Andrew Hsu, a longtime customer, did. Read all about it here.
$4. In stock and ships within one business day.
Excerpted from the post “Gear List – 12 Month Round the World Trip” @ The Quest for Awesome:
You’re leaving the country for a year. What do you pack?
It took me 6 months to finish answering this question. Not only did people say I was crazy when I told them I’d be trying to do it with a 32 liter bag, they said it wasn’t possible. I ended up leaving the country with a 26 liter backpack [the Smart Alec].
Traveling as light as possible was the driving factor because of the freedom it allows (and partially just to see if I could do it). When a 26 L backpack is all I have:
There’s no need to check baggage
I look less like a tourist
I have higher mobility
I have lower dependency on having to find a spot to store/lockup my bag

“I-O bag with Absolute Strap in Munich. I can carry my full gear kit this way for hours on end, and have no discomfort.”
“The lastest Tom Bihn Ristretto Bag for iPad is an evolutionary step in an already terrific bag. I’m not used to the zipper for the front accessory compartment, but it’s a whole lot more secure now. I don’t suggest you get hit by a car to test out the durability of Tom Bihn bags. I’ve done that for you already. You’re welcome.”
