considering between
a Timbuk2 HAL (or Q)
or Cote Et Ciel Rucksack (any idea how much it costs?)

for a laptop backpack for school

using a Chrome messenger now.. it's kinda heavy by itself

Chrome is nice!yup its quite heavy by itself if u not bringing a lot of stuff

Cote Et Ciel Rucksack when i last checked was $280 i think.can go Cumulus at Wheelock to check...

 

[wilflare]

ahh asked cumulus via facebook, it's 290..
the timbuk2 hal is 140... more than twice the price.

any advice?

 

[ITretard]

Anyone have the mission workshop messenger bag? Isit heavy itself? Without anything in it

 

[wilflare]

anyone know where to get the cote el ciel rucksacks for a lower price?

 

[wilflare]

any comments on the cote et ciel?
might be going down today to get it...

how's its default weight?
is it hugee?
storage capacity?

 

[ITretard]

cote et ciel is nice. nice storage. the bag itself is not very heavy. the shoulder straps is quite comfy for me.

i dunno about weight..but i tink there's 2 sizes to fit different laptop size.not sure if the volume of the main compartment is similar

cote et ciel is nice. nice storage. the bag itself is not very heavy. the shoulder straps is quite comfy for me.

ITretard,u looking to get mission workshop messenger ar?which size u looking at?...i went to FallFactor to take a look at the bag last wk.the messenger not too heavy when empty in comparison to Chrome....

 

[wilflare]

guess any bag will be lighter than chrome!

ahh deciding between the HAL/Q or the Cote et Ciel... the price difference is enormous!

Chrome i like it for its huge volume as compared to others & also its cool buckle...

yup.almost half the price....Cote Et Ciel design wise very stylish & unique....

 

[ITretard]

i dunno leh.. cos im always carrying a laptop. carrying a bag with one shoulder is kinda suffering. but i look at their backpack and its... awesome...

 

[wilflare]

ehh my post didn't get updated.
ITretard, in the same situation as you chrome default weight + laptop + bottles + readings = murdered shoulders and back...

which backpack are you referring to? Cote et Ciel or Mission Workshop? If Mission, timbuk2 has similar designs and there's a 30% mass order going on. If not, there's also a T-Level one with similar designs! It's a Korean premium bag brand

i was looking at T-Level and Mission Workshop backpacks.. T-Level ones have nice small compartment but Mission Workshops has simple big storage.. That's why dilemma.. For messenger bag, I think I'll pass.. Too much for my shoulder

 

[wilflare]

i'm already at wheelock thinking whether to buy or not... :/

take a look. open it. carry it. the SA dun mind. his kinda friendly.

 

[wilflare]

yup the SA was very friendly!
didn't get it from Cumulus but DG Lifestyle Store instead

ended up getting a Cote et Ciel Rucksack Black to replace my Chrome
the laptop specific compartment could not allow my macbook pro with my fabrix sleeve!

most expensive non-electronics purchase ever...

 

[ITretard]

[wilflare]
