In this thread, post a list or pictures of What You Carry in your Side Effect. We will add your packing list to the Side Effect page to help give other people a better idea of what the bag can hold.

Contents of my Side Effect

I love my Side Effect and have been extolling its virtues to anyone who'll listen. I switch between my Ego and my large Cafe Bag a couple times a week, and the Side Effect helps me keep all the important stuff together. I took the pic below to show a friend what all I carried in it, and the picture plus the lovely plum color convinced her to buy it as a non-girly-purse replacement.



Missing from the photo: the Canon PowerShot DS1100 I used to take the picture, and a small pouch of Black Phoenix Alchemy Lab imps (perfume samples). And there's still room for more!

Great picture

That's a lot of stuff! And I love the beautiful plum color of your Side Effect. Thanks for posting the photo.

Well, mental confusion *is* listed as a side effect...

My black side-effect is crammed, but organized. I carry it with the shoulder strap, like a purse.

Main compartment:

- one pocket holds a powder compact and a lip balm
- other interior pocket holds my rather thick mobile phone, plus a small Fisher space pen
- protein bar (wrapped in zip-top baggie in case of left-overs!)
- flat comb
- micro mini Moleskin notebook
- Tom Bihn ultrasuede wallet for plastic cards, ID's - attached to a key strap
- leather coin purse
- Purell hand sanitizer 59 ml size
- inhaler (asthma medication)
- small nail files (wrapped in small zip top baggie)
- small pair of glasses wrapped in cleaning cloth
- two packets of facial tissues (it's winter, may need the extra! And protects my glasses...I need a new pair anyway.)
- multiple keys in leather carrier

Rear zippered compartment:
- spare house key
- folded plastic grocery bag
- a few disinfectant wipes double wrapped in zip-top plastic baggies

I also have an additional key strap clipped to another O-ring inside. I can have that hanging outside the bag when it is zipped shut and can clip my bulky but light weight ski-mittens and not worry about their going missing when I'm indoors walking around a mall or store. Yes, it looks odd, but better than having them go missing in the cold.

(if I can figure out how to post pictures...I'll add them.)

I wouldn't mind additional side-effect bags in different colours. Brilliant move of Tom and crew to have the pockets in another colour (Wasabi I think?)
