I checked at another local Champs store and they had the bag everywhere. I picked up one for another gadgeteer and mailed it out. If others are interested, drop me an e-mail and I can probably pick up a few more! Thanks, :cool: Hello All,

I use my left hand to get into the pocket that rests near the left hip and to take the cell phone out (which rests on your chest). I use my right hand to unzip the pocket that rests against my back. Reaching that pocket can take some practice, so I don't think a lefty could get to it. However, you can also sling the bag around on your body and have the bulk of it in the front. I do this all of the of the time and have no problem reaching all of the pockets with either hand. Hope this helps!

Does it go over the left shoulder or the right? Are the pockets impossible to get into with your left hand? And so on -- all questions that are relevant to at least 10-15% of the peanut gallery -- I've seen gadgets before now, such as the Siemens Pocket Reader, that were next to impossible for left-handers to use, and others, such as the Psion 5, that were clearly designed by right-handers with no idea that the design was sub-optimal for a chunk of their customers.

The bags are $44 Canadian which is about 30USD plus 15% taxes. They are black, blue or silver. I know a guy nearby who is getting one for me (& shipping it to me in New Zealand). I'll try and put him in touch with you. kiwimacca Hi Archer,

It did say that the bag was made in China. It has an address for Champs on it. I can double check when I get home. If it makes you feel any better at least the clerk wasn't giving you the eyeball for trying on all the sling bags. I thought they were going to kick me out before I could try on every sling in the store. I quickly decided on the Colorado bag before they could say anything.

Front side just has a logo and a couple lines of marketing hoo ha. Back side has the price and lists the features, made in China (you know it's quality now! :p), etc. Then, interestingly, Champs Sports and an address in Florida is listed, which makes me think Colorado must be a Champs subsidiary/private label, whatever. I bet this thing really is a sandbag sans the "O". Hope this helps....:cool: -> By the way, Leslie, great article!:wow: And good lookin' out on that too, I would have never found anything at Champs, in fact I think it was my first time in their store today.

I agree with you that having to open 2 clips and a zipped to get to the inner pocket seems a little irritating, but I generally only get in there when I'm not wearing the bag. Plus I feel like my items are a littler safer when they are in the inner pockets. The look of the bag is sporty, but the only "fashionable" bag that I could come up with that holds mulitple gadgets is the Coach Hamptons Carryall series. They seem to have 3 pockets in the lining that can hold pda's, phones, etc. Not to mention a $270 price tag. The Special Ops bag has replaced my purse altogether. I also have the added benefit of carrying all my gear. I recommended this bag because of its price, value, pockets, etc. I still have other bags for other functions, but this one beats all when I'm riding the train and don't want to be bogged down by purse, backpack, etc. I hope you like and keep it! For $35, my husband has said that he will take it off my hands if I don't want to carry it anymore. Cheers! :) When checking the pics of the Sandbag, I noticed that it looks like it may not have a top clip on the rain hood that covers the inner pockets of the bag.

Just playing with it for 15 minutes in the office it seems pretty nice- real sporty though, which I knid of expected- so I am not sure it will work for carrying to my office. YMMV. (I currently carry a Coach tan leather soft attache with a strap- it's pretty but only has like 2 pockets and no padding- not real "gear friendly".) This may have to be my weekend "man's tac purse" or it may go back (has to get the Mrs. Redhed Seal of Approval, and I have to finish playing). The main compartment seems a little tough to access though. A full size Sony CD player will fit in the "tunes device" pocket in case anyone was wondering like me... Seeing it in person though, and comparing it to that one Sandbag pic, (Check Google images for "Oakley Sandbag"- there's only a couple pics out there) it seems like it might be exactly like the Sandbag...
