Many of you have been wondering: what’s all the hub-bub about the covert bag, bub? Check it out: here are a couple pictures of Keri wearing the covert bag; invisible when there isn’t a headlight hitting her and then lighting up like a christmas tree (without looking like a christmas tree) when a car comes up to her.

what can i say? i am so proud to be the official face and ass of Timbuk2. Mom? can you hear me?
Will that be made available for laptop messenger bags?
Probably a stupid question.
Thank you,
Mike Treviño
Mike,
That’s not a stupid question. The answer sadly is no, but I’ll ask the product development team if they have anything cooking up for next season.
Thanks for asking.
why would you want that? bikers already have enough problems being seen by cars without worrying about a stupid drunk driver cruising around without his headlights on…
Rosemary,
You have a good point. But then again I don’t think a blinky light is going to do much to protect you from a drunk driver who doesn’t recognize that he’s driving without his headlights on. Frankly I don’t think there’s really much you can do in that scenario except hope they don’t get too far.
I have one with all covet panels. The single panel is not as effective. Late at night, it helps a lot because said drunk drivers don’t know what I am so they tend to swerve away. I also have a covert pack, cars actually dim their lights and swerve away from me. People have told me they think it is a hazard sign.
