Matching they offer a pouch, neoprene laptop case, as well as iPhone cases.

The MEC duffle.

Im sitting in airport still waiting to take flight and just thought
I'd tryout this mobile blogging ish. So I'm staring at my sml duffle I
picked up at Mountain Equipment CO-OP (mec) and thinkin to myself how
dope this was! lol Durable, built to last and cost less than you can imagine
depending on the size. I was planning on getting a Porter messenger
bag from japan or a North face duffle bag which def woulda cost me
hundreds of $$$. MEC is Canada's leading supplier of quality outdoor
gear and clothing. So instead of always tryna cop the latest urban culture
brands, let's support our own for a minute. Anything can be hype it just depends on how
style it on em.
