Hello all,
I was wondering if I could pick your brains?
With all the upheaval lately (Locusts & Plagues...), the stuff I have to haul to and from work has increased:
I work admin in a hospital, so, of course back in April when the lockdown in the UK had really kicked off, I was given a works laptop to use for both at home and at work. So I switched from using my everyday medium Cafe bag, to using my Imago (my 14" laptop in neoprene sleeve just about squeezed in there).
But now all patient-facing staff have to wear scrubs at work (in a lovely berry colour I must say), and anyone who goes on public transport has to get changed at work, so that meant saying goodbye to the Imago and moving up to the Synapse 25 to fit it all in.
Now it all fits fine, but I'm not really a backpack person - yeah it takes all the weight nicely, but I do like just reaching down into my bag to get something without having to remove the whole bag. And ironically it aggravates an old shoulder injury having to take it on and off. With a messenger bag I can just sit on the train and not actually have to take the bag off - it just swings round, plus the Absolute strap works wonders :-)
I managed to find a never-been used ID on ebay (something I debated about years ago, but decided on the Imago), that comes with a 6z cache, and it's winging its way over to me. From what I've managed to find on the forums, the bag is a bit bigger than the Imago, and should hopefully fit all my work stuff in, and of course, putting my Absolute strap on there, it shouldn't get too heavy.
I was hoping to pick your brains - because I can't seem to find any specs for the bag on the main website - I suppose fair enough, it's pretty old. Does anyone have an old copy of the sales page?
Some reviews have the basic sizing out there, but it's the little bits of info I like to keep. What was the material? How many litres can it hold? What TB add-ons are compatible? That sort of thing.
Many thanks
