For sure, it looks like one sweet, very well-padded backpack. :D Trouble is it costs about twice what I want to pay.

The trick is to get your company to pay for it. It's a laptop bag, right? ;-)

Cheers

Yes, indeed. Very well constructed and padded P-bag. The thickness of the wall and padding make you feel "safe" and "protected" putting your gears in there, on the other hands, i wish it has enough depth, sides pockets and room.....

James, what size of notebook you fit in there? I was going to get IBM X41 for it but that fund went for Intel Dualcore instead...LOL.

Thanks for the review. I was wondering about the 103 since I have the 102 (non laptop version). I have found the 102 to be comfortable and able to hold all my gear listed in my sig except for the LS II. There is no doubt that it is well constructed and provides excellent protection for my gear. I posted a picture of the 102 previously in a TPF thread on camera bags.

I use a Dell Latitude 505 and it fits w/ room to spare. There is room for a slightly wider laptop but my feeling is that in order to use that space at the top, it would have to be a shorter laptop front-to-back.

I just took the Kata offshore this weekend to the Thunder Horse platform and it worked well.
