GREAT. Looking forward to it!-

Any plans to add a couple of these features to the Lex Pack? The Swig is cool, but lacks the 3-panel classic style of the Lex. It's also quite a bit smaller.
I know we're picky customers, but a Lex Pack with a laptop slot seems pretty realistic, right? Without it, and even with a laptop sleeve, there's just WAY TOO much space for a computer to float around in. -

Glad to hear they'll be back soon, with new fabrics too. I'll be looking forward to it. Is there any way we can get a heads up on that? Maybe an email a few days before the Lex is up again? -

Thank you for the response! The Swig is cool, you're right. The laptop feature is very slick, with the side zip for easy access.
I've spent hours and hours looking at similar bags on the web, and keep coming back to the Lex Pack. It trumps every other 2-strap commuter bag I've found.
Any idea when they'll be back on the Bag Builder part of the site, and if they'll be any new features, similar to the Swig? -

A comment on the question "Do you still offer the Lex Pack?" in Timbuk2:
I see this was posted about a year ago. I hope it's the same situation this time! – kevinmw, on August 13, 2009 04:36 -

Lex Pack—the king of commuter bags. But it's not on the site anymore.Ok, I was tooling around with the bag builder again yesterday, day dreaming about what colors I was going to pick out for my new big Lex Pack, and today I went to show the bag builder to my girlfriend for her opinion on the fabrics, and BAMM. No Lex Pack. Incredible. And with seemingly no explanation on the blog OR the home page. Really!??
Is it possible to bring back the Lex (large sizes, sternum strap, etc) WITH the laptop features of the Swig? -

Misc Lex Pack questions...I've looked at multiple images of the Lex Pack this afternoon, and I've found some inconsistencies. It seems the fabrics and features have changed over the past couple years. I have found images of the pack with and without a laptop compartment. I am ready to buy one right now through the Build Your Own Bag section, but need to know if there is a laptop compartment first. This is a make-or-break feature.
Also, a couple questions about the fabrics:
Is there a large difference in quality, or feel between the Ballistic and Lightweight X-Pac fabrics? I prefer the looks of the Lightweight fabrics, and am more than willing to pay the extra cash to have if they are as durable as the Ballistics.
Is there a big difference between the reflectivity of the Reflective Matrix fabrics and the Reflective Covert fabrics (used on the special Covert Classic Messenger bag)? Is the Covert MORE reflective or something? The only photos that demonstrate the reflectivity of a particular fabric are of the Covert—Matrix fabrics seem to take a back-seat to the Covert in the photos.
This is by far the best pack I've come across (I used a Lex Pack from REI, size medium, for a couple days and fell in love with it, however, it was too small for commuting needs, which is why I'd like to get a bigger better Lex Pack).
Thanks in advance for the time in answering my questions!
Kevin
