Namba Shaka Laptop Messenger Bag: Have Laptop Bag, Will Travel

August 19, 2008
Namba Shaka Laptop Messenger Bag released

Keeping an eye on the most interesting bag manufacturers, it appears that the Namba Shaka Laptop Messenger bag will be a boon for musicians and DJs alike. It it optimized to carry a 15" laptop computer and a variety of other musical equipment to go with your laptop.

Namba refers to this bag as a "high performance bag" thanks to its durability and the high grade 1680D poly-nylon materials that go into the bag's construction. Due to the rise in popularity of field recording, Namba includes a compartment specifically for your digital recorder that fits the following handheld devices: Zoom H4 / H2; M-Audio Micro Trak II; Marantz PMD660 / 620; Edirol R09; Sony PCM-D50; Tascam DR-1; or the Olympus CS-10.

The Shaka bag is like a pair of cargo pants for your laptop, and as a proponent of cargo pants, I find it only fitting that my computer is afforded the same luxury. It's full of pockets with lockable zippers for extra security. A super thick shoulder pad will eliminate divots in your shoulders for long distance carriage, and if you were born without shoulders, it has a pretty sturdy and convenient handle.

Fast Features:

  • Extra Thick Padding -- provides the best protection for your laptop
  • Extra Thick Shoulder Pad -- redistributes bag weight so it feels lighter
  • Adjustable Shoulder Strap -- one size fits all
  • Convenient Carry Handle -- easy lift and carry
  • Holds 15" Laptop Computer -- take your office / studio with you
  • High Performance Construction -- superior high-quality ballistic 1680D/PVC poly-nylon material
  • Usable Pockets -- pack all of your personal essentials
