The Imago is an open-top bag that closes with a
flap and a 2"/50mm plastic side-release Warrior buckle. Under the flap, on the
front of the bag, are two pockets: one curved open-top and one zippered,
plus three places to snap your key strap (included) or Organizer Pouch
(optional; order here). Inside the main compartment are two deep pouch
pockets that work well for organizing power adapters, or storing energy bars. On
the back, a flat pocket is perfect for magazines or a newspaper.
On both sides of the Imago are small pockets designed to securely carry portable
electronic devices such as cell phones, iPods/MP3 players or PDAs. Lined
with Ultrasuede® and closed by #8 YKK "splash-proof" Uretech® zippers,
these snug little pockets also provide scratch-free storage for eyewear.
The Imago is available in twelve color combinations. Different
color combinations are made out of different fabrics: Ballistic Nylon and 1000 denier Cordura.
The Imago rides your shoulder with the Tom Bihn Standard Shoulder Strap,
a 1-1/2" wide heavy nylon webbing strap with a comfortable wide foam pad that
won't slip off your shoulder and is designed to conform to your shoulder and back. A
removable waist strap secures the bag to your body when you're the move, which makes the Imago
a great bag to use when you're riding a bike (push or motor).
You can choose between three different shoulder straps to use on your Imago
bag. The Standard Shoulder Strap, included in the price of the Imago, is a 1-1/2"
wide heavy nylon webbing strap and features a comfortable, wide foam pad that won't slip off your shoulder
and is designed to conform to your shoulder and back. For an extra $15.00, you can switch out
the Standard Shoulder Strap and replace it with the Q-AM (Quick-Adjust Messenger) Shoulder Strap. For an extra $20.00, you
can switch out the Standard Shoulder Strap and replace it with the Absolute Shoulder
Strap. Click here for descriptions of the three types of shoulder strap. Most people will be satisfied with just one kind of shoulder strap,
but, should you choose to do so, you can purchase more than one kind of shoulder strap and switch between them.
Size-wise, the Imago falls between our Large Café bag and our ID
messenger bag. The main compartment can carry a spiral-bound notebook, a
medium-sized book, a light wind/rain shell, and your lunch.
While the
Imago does not have a built-in spot for a laptop, you can slip our Soft
Cell laptop sleeve or Brain Cell laptop case inside the main
compartment, transforming it into an efficient and protective laptop
messenger bag. Only smaller laptops that fit in our Size 5 or Size
6 (for the 13" MacBook) Soft Cell or Size 5 Brain Cell will fit in the
Imago. Will your laptop fit in the Size 5 or 6 Soft Cell or Brain Cell,
and thus the Imago? Use our Laptop Bag Fit Guide to find out.
