Timbuk2 is best understood for its candy striped carrier bag, yet the brand name’s brand-new cooperation with Astro misses that design for 2 various items, a knapsack as well as a sling bag. Astro currently uses the $100 Precursor Knapsack with lots of pockets to keep your equipment, yet the $200 BP35 is larger: 35 litres of area contrasted to the previous design’s 32. It additionally has 2 laptop computer pockets, as well as a complete clamshell open up to make it much easier to eliminate your things– which definitely need to make your life much easier at airport terminal safety and security. One inner pocket is made particularly to bring Astro pc gaming equipment, with a loophole for holding your headset, a cushioned sleeve for a MixAmp Pro as well as added pockets for cables as well as controllers.

There are additionally lots of tiny, thoughtful touches throughout, consisting of mesh shoulder bands to maintain you cool down, velcro to display your pins as well as spots as well as a d-ring to hold your secrets. As well as if you’re of the environmentally-conscious type, all Timbuk2 items are constructed from recycled products, as well as the firm has an exchange program for your old bag so you can deal with it in an environmentally friendly method.

However suppose you do not require a bag that large? 35 litres is a great deal of area, nevertheless, as well as all you have is your Change Lite as well as a collection of earbuds. This cooperation has you covered on that account with its $80 CS03 crossbody sling pack. You can use it on your back, front or around your hips since fanny packs are back. However this is one produced your Nintendo Change, with 14 ports for video game cards as well as a tricot lining to shield your display. There’s additionally a pocket for your mobile phone as well as a crucial caretaker so it’ll make a helpful substitute for your bag or tiny purse. As well as I indicate tiny, as the CS03 holds a little 3 litres. It’s even more of a daytripper than a convention pack.

I really did not obtain much time with the bags, yet watch out below for a hands-on after I examine them on the mean roads of New york city as well as Chicago. If you wish to provide a try on your own, both bags take place sale later on this month, as well as can be detected Astro or Timbuk2’s websites along with any one of the 6 Timbuk2 front runner shops.
