Made in his garage in Philadelphia. Back in the day he ran a little ad in NPPA News photographer Magazine and I think I paid 40 bucks for the thing. At the time it was the only bag that was designed for photojournalist. Now I have Think Tank and it’s the only bag I use, same story. I love it because its based taking pictures on the fly which is what I do not just protecting my gear. It never screams camera gear which is a huge plus working in Washington, D.C. My back and gear are really happy. I’m looking forward to getting a “shape shifter” for the upcoming Inauguration as I’ll be out on the National Mall with the common man and I’ll need a way to get my photos back which as you know means working while carrying a laptop. Thanks for all the hard work you guys have put in and for listening to shooters on what we need.

All I can say is wow!! I’m very short 4’ 5” and it’s hard to find bags that are the right scale for my size, no problem with think tank you have three sizes of almost everything. Thanks for all your hard work, you have a loyal customer for life.
