It's Manpurse Time

[J.A.Sucker]

Just go for the fannypack and call it a day. Your life is over at this point anyway.

The Rascal has some nice storage features.

I hate carrying things except maybe to the beach so I can't help on manpurses. But if you'r going casual why not cargo pants or cargo shorts (the type with pockets above the knees)?

My cargo's holds an iNano with extra bud style headphones, reading glasses & sunglasses, mints, notebook, pen, medications, and yes sometimes even a small snack when playing Hollywood Park.

My favorite cargo pants can be had at the Citadel Outlet 1/2 mile north of the Commerce Casino. At Banana Republic their very casual looking khaki cargo pants are often marked down to $25. At Izod there is a more dressy looking golf style six pocket pant (the knee pockets blend in with a small hidden zipper) for about $20 on sale. The Izods are available in black and light cream/khaki. I didn't like the cargo pants from Nautica; too thick and hot and an off color khaki.

Shopping there is also a good walk before you play for those of you who like to get a walk in before grinding on your rear end all day.

I second this, although I have a different model that's slightly smaller. One thing I love about the Tumi case is that it's really beefy, stylish and very light, especially if you don't have your laptop with you. That's the one I have. It has plenty of space too, although I'm sure less than yours.

I have that exact Tumi case. So does my Dad.

fwiw I just ordered a timbuk2 case, a friend of mine (from SF coincidentally) has one and I really like it.

a lot of ppl in nyc go with manhattan portage or brooklyn industries bags, but I think timbuk2 has a better selection.

[yellowdoyle]

I don't see an outside pouch/pocket on the timbuk2 bads, Turnip. A couple of previous posters have mentioned that those are really nice to have.

I see that Timbuk also has a specific bike model, which I may want to purchase. Riding with a backpack is just asking for a soaked shirt, but with a messenger bag you can shift it and the weight is in a smaller area (and your hip somewhat).

OP, www.chromebags.com has some cool stuff. I am not sure if it is exactly what you want, but check them out.

edit - cbloom, check out chrome for backpacks as well. I like the look of the roll top ones.

I've been coveting this bag for a couple of months:



It's from BBP Bags
