    Love 1.
    Like 3.
    5 is okay.
    4 and 6 are blah.
    2 is awful!

    I would definitely buy 1. But not 4. It just looks…well, a little too colourful for my liking. :P

    #1 is fabulous.
    #2 is taking recycling too far.
    #3 is Eeyore – I think I like this one, but not for me.
    #4 is confused.
    #5 is something that will sell, but still droll.
    #6 is trying too hard.

    I like 1 a lot. 6 is ok, I think it is the straps I don’t like about 6. The rest are just ok.

    1 is amazing, I would definitely buy one.

    3 is ok and 2 is just plain odd.

    So-so on 5 and 6.

    Don’t like 2 or 4.

    I like 1,3, and 5.

    4 has crazy colors.

    6 is just alright. Kind of blah being all one color.

    And #2 looks like an alien (or surfer) is going to pop out.

    Keep up the great work =)

    1 & 5 I’d buy as is, with 3 getting high marks for stiching but kind of “meh” on the rest.

    #1 is the best, I love the flair

  16. Posted April 7, 2009 at 10:41 pm | Permalink

    I like one, three, and six. Probably three first, then one, then six.

    For my likes, two is too shiny, four has too many colours, and five is too plaid.

    i love 6 very much!

  20. Posted April 7, 2009 at 11:24 pm | Permalink

    1 is very nice indeed. The colors in the example are awesome, but it would be fun in other color combos too (navy with lime green stripe, or perhaps a dark purple with a bright sunshine yellow?)

    5 would be cool in a snappier plaid. I like plaids, but I like ‘em with a little pop. Which means not so traditional, and therefore might not have been what was intended there. That said, find me something in the *bright* green or blue category, and I would be interested.

    4 makes me think of Punky Brewster, which while not bad, doesn’t make me desire ownership of said bag either. 2, 3 & 6 all bore me.

    I agree a lot with Amy’s comments.

    1 is a great bag, neat design
    5 is nice, but the plaid chosen is kind of blah
    3 is nice and simple, something about it I like
    2, 4 and 6 don’t really do it for me

  26. Matt
    Posted April 8, 2009 at 8:51 am | Permalink

    Love #1

    Plus, I like the clip and strap options on #4.

    I’d order #1 today, except the bag I bought in 2004 just won’t quit. Every seem and stitch is still well intact. One of these days I hope it gets caught in the X-ray machine at the airport, and accidentally gets shredded. That way I could justify buying a new one. Unfortunately, I think my bag will ugly out before it ever wears out.

  27. Posted April 8, 2009 at 9:19 am | Permalink

    1 & 3 for sure. 5 is pretty dapper also, but if two are being made then 1 and 3.

    Posted April 8, 2009 at 10:07 am | Permalink

    #1 – LOVE! Clean, simple, classy.
    #2 – I can’t decide if I love or hate it. It’s so disco fabulous. I think I’ll go with love.
    #3 – Did someone hit the snooze button?
    #4 – It’s too much color for me, but I imagine someone would like it.
    #5 – Love it! Interesting.
    #6 – Ooooh! That’s a show stopper! But I wonder – if you’ve done the straps and buckles in red, why not do the shoulder strap in red too?

  33. Jason
    Posted April 8, 2009 at 2:58 pm | Permalink

    #1 is awesome, I would so buy it even though I didn’t need it. Would you have the option to custom make the bag with different color stripes? 3’s good, I like the look.

  34. Posted April 8, 2009 at 3:26 pm | Permalink

    4 and 6, the look awesome!

  35. Posted April 8, 2009 at 3:51 pm | Permalink

    5, 3 and 6 but mostly 3 unless I was wearing grey plaid.
    Not 6 if I was wearing red, but very nice with blue denim.
    I can’t imagine 2 unless I was in a shiny space suit.
    1 is trying too hard but could work if the colour combo was very contrasty like flouro. Y’know it kinda ‘zinged’
    And 4 is just not me.

  49. Posted April 9, 2009 at 11:30 am | Permalink

    1- super rad and the texture (yes I got to fondle it) is also killr.
    2 Looks like the Hindenburg just before incineration.
    3-nothing cool here in the pic
    4-love the crazy mix of parts but I HATE the color pallet
    5-that is the bag I would go home with today
    6-love the hardware- the color matches Superman’s boots

    Love 1, the stripe is great!

    I like the mismatched buckles on 4, not the colors, though.

    The pattern on 5 is great.

    2 is horrible! Never!

    Posted April 9, 2009 at 11:55 am | Permalink

    1 = fav
    2 = looks like a lesport sac from the 80’s. don’t like at all.
    3 = boring
    4= looks like a circus tent gone astray.
    5 = like it
    6 = nothing special, but i guess every line needs one of those.

    so overall 1 is by far the coolest.

    Dane likee uno und tres.
    Graham likee uno also.
    Very Steve McQueen/Mustang Mach 3.
    Graham says 6 would look better in Kelp.

    Pris the replicant votes for numero dos.
    But not Dane or Graham.

    Maybe if the Patrol was silvery-shiny, that Star Wars stormtrooper brigade would squawk Taska on their comms and place a big order. Roger that!

    #1 is excellent. A highly probable purchase. I don’t like #2 or #4 at all. #6 looks like a much cheaper bag, for some reason. Like a crappy diaper bag.

    Just geeked out a little and added up the numbers so far.

    Top 3 Loved:
    1 – 29 Votes
    3 – 10.5 Votes
    5 – 4.5 Votes

    Top 3 Hated:
    2 – 8.5 Votes
    4 – 2.5 Votes
    6 – 1 Votes

    Preferentially I counted; love, awesome, buy, favourite or hate, worst etc. Only considered posts with 1 or 2 favourites/hates (2 counted as half votes), 3 or more seemed indecisive.

    #2 too over the top
    #3 too plain but material seem promising
    #4 too colorful
    #5 too plaid’ish – only if it turns you on
    #6 too plain

    LOVE No. 1. Would like to purchase asap! :-D

    No. 6 is cool, but I’d get it in blue or green rather than the red. I like the plaid of No. 5, but probably on a smaller bag (say, Eula-sized).

    1 – liquid AWESOME
    2 – From the future, but could use some refining
    3 – booooooring
    4 – YES YES YES – makes me want to D.A.N.C.E.
    5 – Fabric would work better for packs
    6 – too monochrome

    TAKEAWAYS: Make #’s 1 & 4. They’re rad. The others need more work

    3, 5, and 6 would be my favorites.

    1 is OKAY but would win more votes in other color schemes.
    2 is awful.
    3 I like because it looks like a canvassy kick-around bag I once had.
    4 is too colorful and it comes off as immature
    5 is fabulous, I love random fabrics in your bags
    6 is an AWESOME WAY to change up your bags.

  81. Posted April 12, 2009 at 12:51 pm | Permalink

    1, 4, and 6 are fantastic. I’d buy one of them, most definitely.

    3’s fine, 5’s all right, and I don’t like 2 at all.

  82. Posted April 12, 2009 at 6:14 pm | Permalink

  107. Posted May 14, 2009 at 9:50 am | Permalink

    I definitely do not like 2. 4 and 6 are kind of like fraternal twins, though i agree that 6 could benefit from some contrast stitching.

    3 is cool with the contrast stictching, I would want one of those (with a t2 logo to match the stitches)

    not so sure about 4. maybe offer plaid panels, but not a 1-panel plaid bag.

  108. Posted May 14, 2009 at 10:00 am | Permalink

    Yes! We are going to produce the most popular one (#1). It will launch in June in several colors. Stay tuned!

    You guys were so close on that last color scheme. I said *lime* green. So close.

    Still love the bag, I will have to try to scrape together the cash to get one. Any plans to offer this style in a laptop friendly style?
