Freeman Transport Pouch Set: spiffy bags for cyclists
Sean Bonner has been involved with blogs and hackerspaces and art galleries and record labels of the punk rock variety. Now he's on Twitter.
Today I was pleasantly surprised when the mailman delivered a holiday gift from them: their recently back-in-stock pouch set. Now, admittedly, I may be biased because I didn't have to throw down any cash for these. But holy crap they are so much nicer than the photos on their website suggest. And those photos really make them really look nice.
The waxed canvas outside and hickory lining makes each bag feel sturdy enough to carry anything you can fit inside. At the same time, they're gentle enough to protect electronics and things you might worry about scratching or getting banged around. The largest size bag is *just* a little too small to fit my 13" MacBook Air (bummer), but would probably be perfect for the 11" model (or one of the older 12" PowerBooks if you happen to still rock one of those) or any number of other smaller notebooks. The smallest size is certainly big enough to hold a small digicam. For an organizational freak like me, these are total crack. They are definitely going into my main travel bag setup right away. And if you see me in person anytime in the next few weeks let me apologize right now for however much of your time I waste talking about how cool these are.
More photos follow.
