Great review, it’s good to see that someone took the time to do this! I have a Geekstar from crumpler, but the shoulder bag just doesn’t cut it anymore with all the glass I carry around.. this one seems really nice, but I think crumpler renamed it the Pyjama Pride (at least on this side of the pond, I am in Amsterdam).
Keep the good stuff coming!

Hi, I’m going to buy this backpack, but I have one question.
What is the exact size of the laptop sleeve.

Hot damn, thanks for pointing that out. It’s such a bizarre name that I guess I just kept dropping the “c”. I had not noticed at all, lol. I guess this thread will then catch both “Schrinkle” and “Shrinkle”

Cheers,
Nordin

If my memory serves me correctly, the main difference was size (hot tub being bigger), otherwise they were pretty much identical. Personally, I didn’t like the extra size of the hot tub, the shrinkle is just about perfect for my frame. Anything bigger and I would risk not being able to bring it on the plane and I would also be inclined to carry even more gear. The load that you see in the picture is pretty heavy as is, I wouldn’t want much more than that!

Good luck!

Thanks for the review. I’m very tied between the hot tub, shrinkle, pyjama pride and the zoomiverse. I can’t quite make up my mind. I want to buy a bag that wil last me for a long time and be able to cope with my expantion of equipment as i progress with more gear. I know you mentioned th hot tub and wandered if you saw the shrinkle along side it and what were the main diferences?

Thanks

Hi, I just wanted to say that I appreciate all the work you did in this review. Right now I am going nuts trying to find the perfect bag to use for my DSL-R, and other girlie stuff. I wanted to have a bag that was accessible, could carry some gear, maybe an iBook at times, but especially everyday items like a wallet, hairbrush, passport, pens, notebook, checkbook, and more. I wanted to be able to shove a light thin jacket in there or shirt, an umbrella, or anything I bought which was small. This bag would be used to do day trips for a combination of sight seeing and shopping. I like to carry my larger camera with me, instead of a P&S, as the quality is so much better, but not at the expense of leaving all else behind.

It is very difficult to find a bag that does exactly what you want it to do.
