Recommendation for a laptop bag and AirBoss combo
Hey folks. So like many of you I am a big fan of the RedOxx AirBoss bag but I was looking for a laptop bag to go in the middle compartment.
I looked and looked and tried many different bag combos but couldn't find anything that had a tight enough fit for those longer 1-2 week trips.
I am not sure how I even came across them but they make some great sleeve options with optional straps and cord bag attachments.
This guy: http://www.sfbags.com/collections/ma...top-sleevecase allows me to throw my macbook in the middle with extra padding and I got one of the Piggyback bags for cords and stuff.
Just wanted to pass that along. I lurk here a ton but felt this was something I had to contribute the combo works really well for me.

Just seen your post and have a working solution, the Crumpler bag at the bottom of this post, works well with a neoprene sleeve 
I genuinely think a lot about my luggage solutions and I'm pretty obsessive, the one-bag travel ethos really makes sense to me due to previous experiences.

My drawback with only having the one bag was the laptop option, I don't want to carry all my clothes etc. to a meeting, that needs to stay at the hotel. I decided that I don't actually need a bulky laptop bag, just a sensible looking bag to hold my Surface Pro 2, iPad and the charging cable with some extra space. I tried various small laptop bags that worked ok but I wanted something really lightweight, foldable yet not looking too flimsy.
So I have just ordered a Crumpler Light Delight Messenger Bag https://crumpler.eu/index.cfm?seite=...productID=8835 it should be arriving tomorrow. It appears to be a good solution, foldable to pack away in my main "one bag", but with rip stop strong material compared to many other folding bags. I have bought it in black to look vaguely business-like. It takes up no room in the AirBoss and works perfectly as a laptop bag - very happy with it
