Seagull bags

This 'ordering process' is unclear. I want to get an estimate on what i have in mind.
Also, this template..what am i supposed to do with that? Fill it out and do what what it? I mean why does it have things to circle etc? Cause im not mailing it there right?
Am i ******** or is it unclear?
And why cant i see a pic of how the strap tightens up?
I like Bagaboo's system but they wont email back.

Why don't you got to a shop that sells the bags and check them out? Or is that not an option? Buying a bag that you have not seen in person is like buying clothes without trying them on. Might fit or might not.

Good luck.

Good luck, although my old roommate was able to order one, and she's the dumbest smart person I know. Also, neither of us could figure out how the strap works, though I'm told once you get it, it's the best.

if you order a black bag, that's easiest.

otherwise i would just email them with exactly what you want. they also have a flickr page with lots and lots of pictures, straps included. link.

hey deathhare -- the best bet is just to call dan directly. his phone number is right on the site - 614-325-2051.

i've used several strap systems -- reload, timbuk2, chrome, bailey, etc, and can say that the current seagull design is the best that i've come across. it's absurdly easy to use with no break-in time required. I don't know anyone who has used it and been displeased.

It's a bit difficult to articulate how one uses a strap, so check out this picture: https://www.flickr.com/photos/98651420@N00/402790549/ .

No offense to Seagull but after looking at the flickr gallery i think the Bagaboo bags offer a lot more for the money and also seem to be built better. Ive seen Bagaboo in person and was impressed with it. Never seen the Seagull in person but in the pics they just dont look that good.
Now, if Bagaboo would get busy...

You're going to pay a ton to bring a Bagaboo to the states. They're incredible bags, but very spendy. Personally, I love my Seagull and have not had any problems with the strap.

Shipping is gonna be $39 for air. I think thats ok considering where is coming from.
Also, they had the gold cordura i wanted.
