Hey guys. New member here with a question about straps.
I bought a Magnoli bag + Wade strap a couple months ago, and they are great. The bag's fantastic and the strap is much much much better than the POS WPG strap I used to have. Problem is, the whole thing cost me about $85. I would like another bag/strap combo and so far Todd's seems like a pretty decent option.
I did some searches on Todd's and the opinions appear to be very favorable towards his quality. However, there were some early concerns voiced about the size of the bag being too small, and the color being off. I would like to know if the size is now up to par with the Magnoli bag. The sizing is very important because I plan to use this bag to carry my 10inch netbook around, it would be a snug fit. I also would like to know if the compartments in the bag are just like the original/Magnoli repros or if they are like WPG's repro.
My Magnoli repro has a divider in the large center compartment which makes it impossible to use as a bag for my netbook. It's also just too well crafted for me to have the heart to take a scissor to it. Does Todd's also have this divider? I might be more willing to cut his since it is cheaper. What are the other compartments like? Does anyone have pictures?
And now for the strap. After using a WPG strap and a Wade Egan strap, I never want to go back to a bad strap again. I've read just one review of Todd's strap and it seemed enthusiastic about the quality but more opinions would be nice. Things like the color and how it compares to Magnoli/Wade Egan straps would be very helpful. I'm interested in seeing if it is as soft and supple as Wade's, which I barely had to break in.
And of course, if anyone else has any suggestions for straps, that would be great. But again, I'm really not looking to spend too much money. If I were, I would probably just go for the Magnoli/Wade combo again and just cut the divider.
