Rusearch thanks for the suggestion. I'll be in Livermore next weekend. I can stop by to take a look. A few questions.
- are the zippers YKK
- are the zippers lockable with an interlock?
- does the outside zip on the S hold a 16" MacBook Pro?
- Does the telescoping handle have intermediate stops or is it just one?
at a price point lower than the TravelPro Platinum Elite and close to that of the TravelPro Crew but lighter, this seems an ideal middle ground.
I have a Timbuk2 messenger bag that's served me very well for 10+ years. The Cordura has begun fraying in one place near the strap. I have been meaning to send in a photo to ask if they will repair or replace. Your post is a timely reminder.
