yeah, I agree with the assesment of the current bags TB offers. I own a Super Ego, Brain Cell, a few smaller accessory bags and we also have the one Buzz. And I love that it's all made in US stuff. Only a few items come from outside the US. The YKK zippers I believe and I am pretty certain all of the fabrics are US made.

I considered the Cafe Bag but again it's a loose bag that does not fit my needs.

I like that Fatboy bag, never even ran across the Maxpedition stuff before...so thanks! That bag certainly has plenty of room at over 150cu.in. Which for what I want is a lot of space. I am gonna see how the current waist bag I ahve works out. If it does I ask is TB has considered something similar for NIT users. I know they are considering a bag of some sort for the Kindle...and that might work OK for us NIT users.
