I love how it's up to the user to decide which is the front and which is the back, in that there are two places to attach the waist-straps.

Speaking of which... Quick question: is the optional 1"...

Was this on Friday afternoon? I ask because I almost got run over by the Street Car doing a double take when I saw a black Co-Pilot just like this one heading north on SW 10th near Yamhill. It was my...

Oh, did you mean this front pocket?...

I agree with "dichroic" about how the SA shines as a travel bag.

My wife used our first SA as her only bag on a quick business trip (two days, one night) a few months ago.

She had a brain cell...

Lots of great comments already! Thought I'd throw my $.02 in as well.

I have a Synapse and a Smart Alec, both of which I got more or less at the same time just a few months ago. And because I have...
