I remember visiting HTH its 1st year as part of a promotional piece we were doing at FOX6. Glad to hear it's still around!

As for bag, it very well depends if he'll be living on or off campus, the...

If you were to put a small piece of velcro through the webbing on the SA (to make a vertical instead of horizontal loop), would the spacing be about right to attach a cache with rails?

Any plans for 8" straps? =D

I, for one, am really interested in the Cache with Rails! How cool is THAT feature?!??

ok, if I do my normal loop waist through shoulder strap so that the waist strap is at the waist (but the shoulder shortened so as not to fall off), but bring the bag to the front instead of back, the...

I do something similar to Kinsale. Normally worn cross-body, the bag hits at my hip. But when I ride my bike, I loop the waist strap through the shoulder strap before buckling, effectively shortening...

1 hour? Dang! Powell's is highly dangerous if you walk in. Getting out just under $100 in books was a huge accomplishment on this trip!

Was in Portland just over a week ago and the line outside Voodoo was crazy! Never did get a chance to try the donuts. Are they really as good as the line was long?

Nice combination! I'm been hoping for nordic/wasabi! *swoon*

Thank you so much!

Which Cache would be most appropriate for the Samsung Galay Note 10.1 tablet? I'm thinking the netbook one, but wanted to make sure before I ordered. Thanks so very much!

Hi Jannilee! I'm 5'5", and I would generally agree that the weight is on the outside of the pack, because those are the pockets I find most handy. For whatever reason, I find I can't fit THAT much in...

I have a linen/steel LCB that several months old and have never had a problem with it picking up dirt. Heck, my black cat lays on it all the time and her fur never sticks to it, nor is lint attracted...

Maybe I'm doing something wrong, considering how much everyone loves the Synapse. But, I don't love it. I like the central water bottle pocket. I like the bottom pocket. Heck, even the side pockets...

The lower pocket makes the bag look pregnant. If only that worked, could multiple TB items at home!

As a side question, is the lower pocket big enough to fit a lunchbot or mason jar? Trying to...

They must have changed it, because my LCB can most certainly have the strap swapped out. Mine has an Absolute strap on it atm

All excited because we're planning for Seattle over Spring Break in March. Now, how to have the stars align so that I can leave the hubby at the plane museum while the store is open... so I can check...

I am AMAZED all that fit in the Synapse. Must look into these packing cubes and folders!

The top modular pocket is GENIUS! I look forward to seeing the bottom one. What always prevented me from ordering the SA is no olive or coca color availability (yes, I'm the freak who doesn't care...

Another +1 for the Absolute Strap. Good weight distribution and very comfortable both across body and on your shoulder when you're grabbing it really fast (i.e. the direction of the curve of the...

Beautiful story @nsh!

I would just like to add that it is pure awesome you get to travel with a badass ranger and elf to a conference! =D

I'm still clinging to Windows XP for my virtual machines, as it's been the most stable (not saying much) for me. Windows 8 demo looks just awful. I love your "Out-Microsofted" comment though =)

I too am a neutral color fan, and will +1 the linen. For an example of color, I have some shots in this post. Elsewhere in the forums there's comparison shots of SCB, MCB, and LCB (I'm not finding it...

I'm going with Diaper Charmer, as the mesh makes me think of the Snake Charmer
