Tom’s second shot on the Ristretto is the upgrade for which you’ve all been waiting. The new Ristretto has the same basic form-factor as the first version – it’s still a vertical way to carry a MacBook Air, 13″ MacBook/Pro or similar sized computer.
Design changes include:
Instead of adjustable toothed slides to attach the shoulder strap, the Ristretto now features the same steel eyelets as the Empire Builder and Aeronaut which allows the use of a wider variety of shoulder straps and allows the strap to pivot. A version of our Standard Shoulder Strap with metal d-rings is included with the Ristretto. For an additional $10, one can upgrade to the TerraGrip; for $15, the Q-AM (yes, with d-rings); and for $20, the Absolute.
More pictures and information coming soon. The new Ristretto – available for pre-order now – will be in-stock and shipping by July 8th.
