Why are there no compression straps on any of your bags?

I was just about to order a replacement for my ~7 year old medium size messenger bag which is just too small about half of the time, when I commute on my bike and have to carry a laptop. But, when I'm going on the bus I don't need a bag as large as a medium. So I use the compression straps in that case to keep things from flopping all over and getting messed up. Now that I see that there are no compression straps on the current bags I'm going to have to wait to see if they are added, or look elsewhere. If I order the large laptop messenger the flop factor will be quite bad on days when I don't need so much room. Personally, I'd like to see any new compression straps make it possible to compress even more of the space than the original versions did.

Seeing the new bags are out I went looking for some with compression straps. But I have not been able to find any. Are they available now?

I agree,

After eight years it's time to update my TB2 bags (& my wife's)... I have the cash and the BYOB designs figured out, but where are the compression straps? They are such a useful addition to the bag for carrying art tubes, yoga mats, newspapers, and anything else that takes your fancy. More importantly, I am so used to using them to cinch the bag tight when it's fairly empty that I don't think I can do without them. Any chance they're still on the cards? Thanks for your time!

Really would like compression straps, and maybe a D-ring in the shoulder strap loop (south of the cam buckle) to pull on to tighten the strap, I put a carabiner in mine and it works great!

I've got a pile of old T2 bags, all but one of which were fully optioned with center dividers, truck tarp liners, ballistic bottom boots and most of all...

COMPRESSION STRAPS!

I carry a bag every day, everywhere. To work, on a bike, on a motorcycle, in the car, on a plane, on trips...Sometimes I may have my passport, blackberry, and a few papers. The next day I may put 5 quarts of automotive paints and a change of clothes in. On a motorcycle at 90mph, a nice tidy bag's a must and the compression straps make this easy.

I switched to a Pac Designs bag for utility, and a Crumpler for travel due to T2 not being able to make a custom bag w/ C-straps.

Bring them back, and I'll follow!

I have compression straps on my fairly new bag and I use them all the time. They help me manage my load, especially with bulky, weird-shaped, items.

If it helps, it was a custom messenger (not laptop) bag with the long, removable reflector tabs.
