Note: The Buzz has been redesigned to fit laptops as large as the 15.4" MacBook Pro.
Some say we've taken the idea of a "sling bag" and perfected it.
We like to think the Buzz simply elevates the sling bag to an art form. Practical, beautiful
and subtle, the Buzz is as easy on your eyes as it is on your back.
While it's not a large bag, the Buzz has room and a place for all
of your essentials. If everything you carry doesn't fit inside of the Buzz, then maybe you
carry too much.
The main compartment of the Buzz zips open with a #10 YKK®
Uretek® splash-proof zipper. Inside, the Buzz's built-in padded
sleeve protects your laptop. The sleeve is made of a
three-layer, 1/4" (8mm) foam laminate similar to what we use in
the Soft
Cell, and fits most 12" and 13" laptops, and some thin 15" laptops, including the
15.4" MacBook Pro. We recommend using our Buzz
Laptop Fit List to find out if your laptop will fit in the Buzz. If you can't find your
laptop in our fit list, email us. We'd be glad to help
you figure out if your laptop will fit inside of the Buzz.
The main compartment of the Buzz also has room for a couple of notebooks
or a textbook, a magazine, computer cables/accessories, and a light lunch. In front of
the main compartment is a YKK® Uretek® splash-proof zipper that opens the front pocket of the Buzz, which
contains an organizer with places for your pens, wallet or PDA, business cards, and
a snaphook for keys. A water bottle pocket on the exterior side holds most common water bottles
up to 750ml (when there's a shortage of water) or a small umbrella (when there isn't).
The cell phone pocket on the shoulder strap fits most cell phones (including the iPhone),
or an iPod or MP3 player, or sunglasses.
The Buzz rides exclusively on the right shoulder, and the wide,
padded strap made of 10mm thick closed cell foam crosses the front of the body. A side-release
buckle frees you from its loving embrace faster than a Vegas divorce, and it's
adjustable too, so all good people (between about
5'2 and 6'3") can wear the Buzz. When you need quick access,
you needn't take the bag off: unlike a backpack, the Buzz swings around to your front and allows you
to rummage through either the pocket or the main compartment.
