Red and silver, kind of ugly, but $32 + shipping = ~$40 for me. Maybe one of you guys want one.

Or, better looking colors and larger sizes, for example X-large for $50 with free shipping at backcountry.com

Those bags are garbage.

WORD

for most people, buying anything beyond a timbuk2 is freddish

You sure about that? I've got a large that I've had for a couple of years that isn't showing any wear at all. Just because you prefer a different bag doesn't necessarily make these garbage.

I would not go as far to say the timbuk2 bags are garbage.
I've had mine for over two years. Still rolling with it.
I carried at 40 pound vice in it too. No rips.

They suck for riding (strap is horrible) but I've used one for my laptops for 6 years. No rips and still waterproof as all hell. Used to wear mine on my motorcycle with my old powerbook in it rain or shine.

What's a better alternative for riding in that price range?

Well I guess people like them, but that strap system is not up to par IMO.

No personal experience with TB2 bags, but my friend hates how his digs into his skin. You get what you pay for...

you gotta get the strap pad if you wanna carry any weight at all. i dig the smaller ones for school and such.

They are well-constructed, but the strap system definitely leaves something to be desired.

All my teachers have timbuk2's and only 2 have Baileyworks

I bought my TB2 12-13 years ago. It's been around the world and beat to hell and back, but it still is in pretty good condition. Not perfect condition, but considering its age it has character. Seems comfy to me no matter how full I pack it or how much it weighs, although i dont have the XL.

definitely need the strap padding.

Large laptop mess bag up now quick buy buy buy!!!!onehundredeleven

Winter booties right now!

2-person dome tents only $145.00!!!

That was a good deal for that tent, plus the footprint. They go for that much or more on eBay, without the footprint.

had the same problem with my timbuk2, strap system was pretty uncomfortable to the point where I couldn't stand riding with it.
