Bag question once again
yogicaro | Sep 26 2006
Hello, everybody. Simply put - I need a bag - and would be grateful for your suggestions. Here's a short list of requirements and issues to be considered): I'm a very short and slender woman (5ft 1in), so the bag must not be too big. However, it should hold my MacBook (13.3 in) plus mouse and cables, bottle of water, some paper files, Moleskine, wallet, Treo and my beloved iPod (the last 3 easily accessible). I have some back/shoulder issues as well, so a backpack might actually be better than a shoulder bag. I'm a doctor and don't need my Mac every day, so it would be great if the bag was not entirely "notebook-styled" and could be used for papers&books as well (i.e. maybe with a removable laptop sleeve?). Finally, I'm from Europe, so unfortunately, a couple of options are not available for me (sadly, this also holds for levenger stuff...). Finally, the bag should be durable and look not too old-fashioned. I'm not a business type but rather pursue an active lifestyle (yoga, anyone :) ?) I'd be grateful for all your suggestions. I am in fact a bag junkie and have lots of bags but I want to cut down to the essentials and simplify as much as possible. Greetings from Germany & TIA for your ideas, 10 Comments

First of all, willkommen! You cannot get a better backpack than a Boblbee. They are sublime! They have a molded back that rests in the small of your back perfectly. The "Peoples Delight" size would fit you. My wife is 5'3" and of slight build as well and she carries that bag very well. I love my Boblbee, though mine is the jumbo model. I also have been loving a Crumpler messenger bag, which has a nice anchor strap and I find equally comfortable. It holds more than the Boblbee though you probably don't want the size I got because its rather big.

And it takes a beating. I've taken mine from New York to M?nchen and through London with some of the most infuriatingly crazed baggage handlers without a single scratch to cameras, laptops, and other assorted bits. Highly recommended. » POSTED IN:
