Yeah, the ID wallet is exactly what I'm looking at.
I'm going to turn my Bihn Organizer Wallet into a little travel first aid kit. Still a very handy device.

I like it as a lining and really like the UV color in my T.S..
Frankly knowing that you can't stand it makes it look a little better to me?(right here is where I would like to have a tongue sticking out emoticon!)
Just how I roll!

I'd be interested to know how people view the pattern of these things, male vs female. My guess is it doesn't matter and that most people like it. Like I said, not sure why I don't, but it's just a visceral thing, I don't like that look. At all.

I just discovered Saddleback bags last week & they have some beautiful bags! I won an ebay auction for a medium satchel & should be receiving it Thursday.

Leather? I love good leather stuff, but it was funny. On another forum (flyertalk) there was a thread talking about laptop bags and someone touted a Saddleback model. I checked it out. Aesthetically beautiful, but it weighed like 7 pounds by itself, and you had to undo 2 buckles to get into the main compartment. That would drive me insane. But their stuff IS absolutely beautiful.
Oh, and my thoughts on the dyneema pattern: It's ok. I don't hate it, but I don't love it either. For linings, it's great, actually. It's easier to see things in there, especially with steel, where things might otherwise blend into the shadows. As an external fabric, I have mixed feelings, as discussed in my request for thoughts on the co-pilot. In the end, I am pretty sure that I am going to keep the dyneema co-pilot and return the forest one. The weight difference is well worth my "dislike" of the fabric, although honestly, I think I liked the look of the steel dyneema over the forest ballistic nylon for that particular bag. If there were a "stealth black" dyneema option, I'd be all over it for several bag designs and would think the ripstop texture would look great.Last edited by autolycus; 04-03-2012, 10:52 AM.

Love the material, just don't care for that look. I know some folks love it, but I could never wear a packing cube backpack, for example. I don't know what it is, just something about that pattern bugs me.
S'ok ... I found them!Last edited by daisy; 04-02-2012, 08:36 PM.
