Commuter laptop bag and Bluetooth??
 

I am looking for the best options to have a comfortable commute this year.

I have been using the free Buell bag that was given away last summer for test riding. It is a messenger type bag that sits horizontal and has a belly strap to hold it in place. It does an OK job but I am convinced that there is something better out there. I think that a backpack type bag would be better but i am not sure. I am eyeing the Axio hardpack line.

What do you guys recommend??

Do any of you guys use a Bluetooth headset? I recieved a new Blackberry from a promotion and would love to utilize it fully during my commute with a Bluetooth. I am just unsure of which model to pick from.

BTW: the company will be picking up the tab so $$ needs to stay reasonable yet very functional.

i have a targus backpack ... works welll kinda thick but it is to protect the laptop

i also use an LG HBS-110 bluetooth stereo headset (although i hate in ear headphones and it about rips my ears off when i pull my helmet off) the sound works great i have not tried to call anyone on it while on the bike tho

I use a codi modella backpack. Works alright. Under $150 for the newer models. This one isn't sold anymore I think. Squarish, but compact. I can strap it to my magnetic tank bag if I don't feel like wearing it.

Here's the same one.

The Icon Squad backpack is great, I snatched mine for about $80, has a laptop compartment, helmet space, and a whole bunch of room in the main pouch. I've done some weekend trips with it and had plenty of room.

I use one of these on a daily basis. It has a laptop storage compartment and alot of extra room. It also has a compartment for small electronics with a hole for earphones. Has a waist strap as well as a chest strap. It also has straps for carrying your helmet. It does pretty good. For $70 it has done a fine job. www.motoemporium.com has them.

What brand/type is that Hawk??

I have almost decided to pull the trigger on the Axio Hardbag...

This should take you to it.

I've used an Axio hardbag for about 6 months and have zero complaints. I've got a 15" MacBook Pro that fits in it just fine. Also, plenty of room for power supply, etc.

Ordered an AXIO hardbag with laptop case and a Jawbone (noise cancellation) Bluetooth this AM....

Thanks for everyones input.

No problem g, keep us posted on the Jawbone Bluetooth. Have been looking for something, just not sure what to get.

I have really high expectations. On their website they have a soundtrack switching on and off the noise cancellation feature. It is amazing.

The hardbag is here..
