Has anybody tried Pac Designs? They look a lot like what Timbuk2 used to do (e.g. bottom cinch straps, etc.). I've been thinking of ordering another one since my dh took over my oldie but goodie timbuk2.

I purchased the hip pack--the construction is excellent. If you have questions, Pat gets back to you quickly.
Their messenger bags have a great rep on another forum full of bike messengers.
