    Bags for taller people?

    I've been looking around for a new all purpose backpack and doing this research I came across your web site.

    I love the look and functionality of the Smart Alec, but the FAQ says that it's suitable for people up to 6'2" and I'm 6'5". I see that I could use the Brain Bag but it's really a larger bag then I want for everyday use.

    Are there any plans to make some of your bags in "tall" shapes? If not please consider this a hopefully request. :-)

    Thanks for making what look like beautiful bags!

    Cheers,
    Adam.

    I'm 196cm (6'43" I think) and own a Smart Alec. I use it every day to carry my laptop (and many other things) since I purchased it a few years ago. No problem.

      Great news, thanks! I wonder what the FAQ means then when it says not suitable for people taller then 6'2"? I guess it's just not an optimal fit ...

        Wow: 6'43" - that's probably a typo, because that's 9 feet 7 inches tall! Anyway, these fit guidelines are general, not hard and fast rules. So many variables: longer legs means a shorter back, shorter legs means a longer back.

          193 centimeters are indeed 6 feet and 43 inches tall.

          I have both a long torso and long legs (some of us are lucky that way) LOL

            Your system is way to difficult for me! Choose what you want.

                It's a part of a website screen capture.
