It really is a great bag. I am seriously contemplating weakening the stitching on my wife's back-to-school special so she'll be forced to buy something "better" ;)

I have an HDX18t in a Soft Cell that I carry in a Brainbag. So far, no problems, although I pad it a bit with a towel if I take it with me on a picture hike. I like just the Brain Cell if I'm heading...

MtnMan,

My suggestion is to go with the Brainbag. Looking at your current backpack and the requirements you put out there, I'd say replacing your backpack should be your priority. Is it going to...

any chance we can get the measurements for the padded netbook compartment?

I second this request. My biggest problem with the current soft cell/brain bag set up I have is that the soft cell comes half out the bag when removing my laptop.

Sadly, not yet available in a 2XXLT

My answer is dependent on two things:

1) Distance/time being nothing longer than an extended international airport concourse or an hour-long walk.

2) That you don't have breasts larger than a...

Some hills are about the same pitch, but not nearly as long, as those in S.F. Walking the waterfront and climbing the hill to Pike's Market is easy enough. The rest of the time you will want to...

Darcy is a horrible tease ;)

I'd stick with the Size 1 and here is why: looking at the website for your laptop, it appears they are measuring from the tabletop to the top of the case with the lid closed, but that includes the...

I'm looking at the Tenba you linked, and at my Brain Bag sitting next to me. Using the zippers for a reference (as the sizes are going to be roughly the same) I can't see any difference between the...

It's roughly 5 1/2" tall by 6" wide and had to go in sideways.



I did not, as I was only trying to assess it as a replacement for my wife's current Fred Meyer B-T-S Special. Comfort is...

I was lucky enough to get some "alone" time with the Synapse today due to an alignment of the planets and a small twist of fate that put me in need of a Braincell for my wife's new laptop (HP dv3t),...

No, I missed the last "open store" day but I'll make sure to make the next one. Try not to sell them all between now and then ;)

I'm not sure the probability of bird poop landing directly on the zipper of a backpack (that provides a target measuring only 11" x 8") is high enough to justify a complete redesign of this perfectly...

I love that color! Sadly, I leave in 5 days so it won't be coming with me on this trip.

gah... make with the pics already!

I asked Tom about that when I bought my own Brain Bag, and he said that pocket wasn't intended for that purpose, rather that pocket was meant more for boarding passes, etc.

I'm really happy to see Sand/Navy in the top two. It's such a classic color combination.

Woot!

PS: If you are using a digicam, adjusting the white balance should resolve color issues.

wait.... sand???

Can we get a sample pic of the sand fabric?

I'd like to see that a Brain Bag in that color!

As of last Friday, it was still in mock-up mode. If I were to speculate, I would say that releasing more pictures now would just confuse people and spur more questions than answers, especially as...

I am sure there is a good reason that it isn't, but I think the store should be open 4-5 days a week. Based on this thread and others, my own experience, and listening to the other customers in the...

I just got a Brain Bag today and the Klean Kanteen 18oz. Sport-top bottles fit easily inside the small zippered pockets. autumnmist also posted a pic in another thread with what appears to be the 27...
