@ilnave, lostinohio: Thank you both for the great reviews

I have some questions especially for ilnave because am in Germany.

1. How is the ordering process (from europe)? Call or write an email and then I get some customisation options
E.g. I really like the idea of lostinohio to put a zipper between the 2 compartments. Whats the order/production time frame?

2. How are the payment options? How is the delivery and customs to europe? Did you use a mail forwarder or was it a direct shipment? How much did you pay for customs and so on?

3. Will my EC Garment sleeve fit? I guess the because the bag is 22x14x9" and the EC Garment sleeve is 21x13x2" it would fit in 2 out of the 3 compartments.

4. I also often use a EC Cube 14x10x4" together with a EC Small Garment Folder 14x9". Judging from the dimensions I should be able to accommodate both at least in the big compartment.

Whats missing for me (beside the above mentioned zipper between the 2 compartments)
are
1. some inside O-Rings (like Tom Bihn TB Tristar has) and outside webbing loops (like TB smart alec)... i guess some webbing loops on the inside would do it too.
2. a water bottle pocket (again like TB Tristar) ... maybe it is also possible to attach a water bottle somehow to the outside compression straps

BTW currently I am using this http://www.amazon.de/OCK-Flightbag-K.../dp/B002E9T57E
For the about 30€ it cost me it is great but it has only one huge compartment inside and one outside.
And that is not ideal for me because i always need to open it completely and then dig in the huge compartment only to get the laptop out
