For some reason you removed the handle from the new model. Put the handle back on the top of the large messenger bag. For some reason you removed the handle from the new model.

I would love one with just the solar panel and a battery with a way to charge my cell phone laptop or iPod while I commute to school on my bike. A 30 pin connector and speakers so I can listen to music without using headphones (I like being able to hear traffic when I ride, I would like to know it if I'm gonna get tagged) would be cool. To control the iPod have a volume control, and have next/previous buttons. It would take a lot of wiring and a good sized battery, but I wouldn't mind the weight. I love the idea of the FLIP bag.

When I travel in Europe and developing countries, squeezing through crowded marketplaces, riding subways and taxi-buses, or wherever the last thing I want to think about is someone sneaking into my backpack through a zipper. What I want more than anything is a burgle-proof bag. I love the hemlock bag, but I don’t love the laptop side-access.

Many times I have considered customizing my bag with patches or pins, but always decided against it because I can't put a needle through the fabric without also putting it through the liner.

LOVE that idea. We are actually finalizing an effort to help Haiti today. We'll post it as soon as all the details are locked in. Thanks again for your idea - a good one for the future. Lise.

"Expensive shit since 1989". Now I don't think all the bags are like this. After some thought, the Q bag could be better if it had zip expansions and laminated zippers to be more water resistant, and also a better color selection. They're pretty bland. No, I don't need a Hal, it's too big for my 5'4'' frame. Just think about what you're designing. Why isn't there a pull out hip belt on the bigger pack?

The insert kit should have a bag bottom and walls with movable and interchangeable interior padded structures to accommodate anything from photo, video to sound gear. Also make the kits for the Small, Medium and Large sizes of Messenger bags. The insert kit would allow you to switch the bag back to normal duty.
