I used this bag for about a month for various activities and this is a tough bag. I want to start of by saying that the bag is water proof on the inside and water repellant on the outside. The Brain Bag is composed of the main sections for books, laptops and three external compartments for anything else us mac heads carry with us. As far as style and elegance goes, this bag does not stand out at all, but when it comes to protecting your Power Book or iBook, this is the unequaled , number one. The Brain Bag comes with an optional Brain Cell or Monolith, these are extremely padded laptop sleeves that clip on to the inside of either of the Brain Bags main compartments to keep your laptop even safer, so you could in fact carry two laptops in your Brain Bag at once. It is a bit of a hassle to unclip the Brain Cell and take your laptop out, but for some, the extra five second is no price for the protection this offers for your laptop.

The Brain Bag itself is also extremely padded, the shoulder straps, interior and back side of the exterior are padded with with 3/8", high quality, closed cell foam, making your travels allot more comfortable. The Brain Bag will hold out for a long time , and you can put it trough alot more abuse then you would ever dare with regular bags. The folks at Tom Bihn are so confident in their products that they offer a money back guarantee that states that you can return the product at any time for a full refund, they also offer a drop test movie to prove to you their bags ability to protect your laptop. The Brain Bag has a belt strap, two lash straps between the two larger exterior compartments to carry and umbrella or anything else you like to bring along on your adventures, and side compression straps that tighten the bag if you are not carrying a full load, making your journey more stable. The Brain Bag comes with a pen and pencil organizer and an optional Freudian slip for carrying papers and business cards.

The Brain BAg starts at $ 140.00, it seems a little steep, but i can honestly say that this bag will last a long time, to order the Brain Bag or any other products from Tom Bihn please visit http://www.tombihn.com. Tom Bihn makes rugged, high quality, long lasting gear and their Brain Bag is a perfect example.
