I was looking around online and I stumbled onto this site and looked around for a bit and found the crumpler Beer Back. I am thinking about getting one but haven't really heard a whole lot about them. Anyone ever bought a crumpler bag? Doesn't really matter which one, just curious if anyone has bought one before and how they liked it. The laptop I bought is an Asus Z70Va and reason I am thinking about getting the beer back is because it would be big enough for the laptop and some of my schoolbooks... and probably a bunch of other stuff too.

yeah their site is odd to navigate, but once you figure it out you can see what the bags look like. Not sure, must be a british or aussie company judging from some of the ads I have seen.

I have a Crumpler Messenger bag, very well made. I was looking for one for my laptop but found a good deal on a Timbuk 2 and went with that instead. The quality was similar between the two. Another brand to consider is Brenthaven. If the design of the Crumpler fits your needs, you will definately be happy with the quality.

Well I just bought one of the crumpler Beer Backs off ebay. here's a link to an auction for one it also has pictures of the bag. The one I bought is the black one but I was thinking about getting the brown one. Maybe I will do a review of the bag when it gets here cause the net doesn't seem to have many reviews of laptop bags.

Wow that site is ODD

So I don't know whether or not I would buy one just on that.

You can get Crumpler stuff from eBags too. They do have nice stuff even though their website sucks hard

Their bags look really nice, I ended up paying $125 canadian shipped to my door, and no duties cause apparently Photocan has a canadian area to ship stuff out from. A lot cheaper than the $250 it would have been off the crumpler website where I would have been charged taxes and more for shipping. The crumpler website is hard to navigate, but I like the thing they have about the chicken tex.

i have a crumpler i bought a few years ago, a mid-sized laptop bag. it's pretty good, but the velcro is incredibly big and loud, and i never used all of the little pockets. also, no front pocket or cell phone holder (i bought the accessory that went on the strap). but it looks good, carried my stuff ok, and i got it supercheap from rei outlet ($30 instead of $90). not bad, overall

They have phenomenal customer service! I had such a great experience with them and great prices. I'm all for ebags.
