Santa just delivered me one of these, its freaking huge! Anyone here using tone? I wonder what inserts work the best , theres a couple on the aerostitch site. Main contents I plan to carry are laptop, daytimer, possibly a change of shoes, cell phone. I already have a padded laptop sleeve that fits well. I was looking for something for the cell phone, etc. Thanks in advance and merry christmas Matt |

I love mine, but I do not use any inserts in it, I have been known to carry something like a Buell sling bag inside as an organizer though. These things are tough as nails and do well repelling water, although they are not water-proof. They make a pocket that attaches to the strap for your cell phone. I'd try that. It is too easy for a cell to get lost in these bags. |

Brian, Thanks for the reply. I already test fitted all my work stuff. Man this is one big bag. Do you use the extra strap ? |

yes, the waist strap is vital to keep it from shifting while you ride. I also understand the reflective stripe on the flap is pretty dazzling to those behind you at night I've had mine for about a year and a half and it still looks brand new with a very light wash now and then. Mine is grey btw. |

The Aerostich Courier bag is the perfect place to carry a laptop. V-Twins, with their low-freq/high amplitude characteristics, can play with socketed components. My method, and gosh darn it. . . it's just what work for me. . . is to adjust the shoulder strap so that in your normal cruise riding position the lower edge of the Courier bag just rests on the portion of the seat behind you. This takes a bit of the weight off you and works quite well. I use an Aerostich fleece bag to put my laptop in but I'd wager those sleeves would work better. When I get in heavy percipability I use one of the handful of white Glad kitchen bags I keep in the courier bag to warp the laptop in. Court |

Thanks Guys, Court they must have heard you at Aerostitch as the directions that come with the bag say to do exactly what you said. (corner on seat) I order the waist strap and the organizer pocket. Now all I need is for th weather to stay above 35 so I can get some test time in/ Matt |
