apc40 and freitag bags - will they go together?

[Zerobae]

these are about the coolest backpacks i know of:
(http://www.freitag.ch)

and here, of course, the coolest controller:


will the apc fit in the freitag bonanza?
the apc is 33.5 cm in width, the bonanza 30 cm.

i can't sleep.

"well there's your problem!"

that bag looks like it's made from an old tarp and duct tape.

Hahahahahahahahahahahaha

are the black bars up the back for velcro?

looking at it closer I see what you mean, it's a nearly watertight bag that you can roll up and down, very utilitarian. MacGyver would approve.

Be that as it may, it still looks like a lunch bag and without knowing the interior I don't think I'd trust it to protect $2,000+ worth of gear. There's more dangers than just liquid.

Ouch.

I'm sorry but those have to be the ugliest bags I've seen. And they look very flimsy. Go for something with a bit more padding, that is actually big enough for your gear and which doesn't look like it was knocked up by a tramp.

interesting... these things are _wildly_ popular in europe (and japan i hear). i myself and about everyone i know has one - just not the backpack version, but the classic messenger bags:



but nevermind, there's still time till may...

Geeky & out of stock, but I reckon this could be a great bag for laptop & an APC40 should just fit: http://www.thinkgeek.com/computing/bags/aaa5/

actually the bags are made with the old covers from big trucks.
so every bag is different;)
