    Defcon Backpacks

    What ever happened to DefCon backpacks? I thought those were so cool. I was going to buy one a few weeks back, and noticed that Jinx no longer had them. Do you have any left?
    What is unknown, shall now be.

    They are sweet, I picked one up this year... everytime I tried to get one in the past I would always watch the last person buy the last one... this year I ran directly there :) also got a neoprene laptop thing... smells nasty though.. anyway if youi can't find defcon swag at http://www.jinxhackwear.com/scripts/...s.asp?group=dc then you can try checking eBay (I looked a few minutes ago, no backpacks...), or just wait until next year ;)

      The backpack appeared rather small, or at least for the money it did. I hope they come out on rip-stop nylon next year. I'm interested in getting my PDA anodized in dull black to match, now that sounds like a good defcon table to run!

        Yes the bag fits the laptop, a thin folder in the main zipped pocket... an ac adapter, some wifi cards, some cabling on the front flap pocket.. there are a few other zipped pockets... and don't forget the most important cell holder on the front... :) the strap is padded I wore it all throught defcon and it was comfortable... I use it everyday so I will probably have to buy another one next year :) Yeah it was like 60 bux or so.. but a must for the hardcore defcon fans ;)

          Bought one last year. Bag was great, until it started coming apart at the seams in a couple of places. Regret not picking one up this year, as I just found out that they were manufactured better this year to deal with that problem.

          Though, they were only $40 last year. I did pick up one of those laptop cases. Only problem with it is that it would fit apple ti-books. Maybe next year....

            Dang I need one of those bags right now to complete my ensemble. I have my Defcon shirt, Defcon hat, PDA with Orinoco Gold, and the last two issues of 2600 magazine. All I need are Bawls (the drink!) but maybe I can ask for that on the airplane in 4 hours.

                Those were great but they gray letters were hard to read. If they get reprinted in white I'll be in line for one.

                  I bought a few of those for myself and some of my cow-orkers, they loved them as well :)

                    I talked to Jinx about this issue this year. If you still have the bag that came apart get in touch with him www.jinx.biz
