Freitag Tarp Bags

[ambidextrous]

These are also in the NY MoMA (Museum of Modern Art). They are made of used track tarps and seat belts, thus very durable. You can even custom make a bag online. I'm just surprised that they didn't get much attention yet on this board, what's your opinion on them?

They're pretty cool looking. I would use one for school.

The design/color combination is more or less unique (if you don't choose mono colored ones)

I have used the Dragnet for school and I'm still using it for university. First it's waterproof, I can walk around in the pouring rain without worrying about the content of my bag, second the Dragnet is extandable, if I need more space to stuff smth in it's done in a few seconds.

Still surprised they don't get much response

I was really wanting a Bonanza but couldn't find it anywhere so I bought the Dragnet yesterday. Its really sturdy and it looks like its going to last a very very long time. One thing about the bag I dont like is the gasoline smell that came along with it. I've been airing it out for a while and its going away quickly... so thats a good thing, phew

I love mine. It's a Dragnet. I used a series of Timbuk2 bags for years before I got it, and have a Crumpler as well, but since getting the Freitag, I rarely use the others.

breathe0, the smell does indeed go away.

Heheh. Thanks for the reassurance Tangerine, I was a bit worried at first.
I love how there's no identical freitag bag.
