"We've focused on maintaining the spirit of the original designs while bringing new twists and colors to the consumer," said Bryan Hynecek, Lead Designer at Speck. "I've really pushed our design team to re-evaluate every aspect of the original bags since they entered the marketplace at the beginning of the year. We've kept what worked well, and improved in other areas, both in subtle and dramatic ways. The result is a more durable, fashionable and functional bag for today's on-the-go consumer."

Speck bags have received numerous accolades and earned critical and consumer acclaim for their thoughtful blend of style and function. Popular styles - including the PortPack shoulder bag, AftPack backpack and TuckPack sleeve - all return with new features and fabric combinations - while the all-new CorePack FLY messenger bag offers a security checkpoint-friendly design that speeds notebook users through airport security screening without having to remove the notebook from the bag. Additional enhancements include larger storage pockets to accommodate a wider variety of notebook sizes, increased comfort and flexibility, and more resilient, durable fabrics. New colors and patterns include the techy-flavored Restart GreyScale Pixel with electric key lime green interior the vibrant Velocity Plum Stripe with robin's egg blue interior (featured on PortPack and Tuckpack only) and the dress-it-up or dress-it-down refined Speakeasy Grey Pinstripe with slate grey interior.

The signature features and attention to details found in a Speck bag have been the key to their success. All bags and packs include extra-plush micro-fleece padded notebook storage compartment, media player storage pocket with headphone cord pass-through, comfortable and durable adjustable seat-belt style nylon-webbed shoulder straps with high-performance buckles and ample deep-well storage and organization pockets and pouches.

Additional details about Speck's new bags and packs:

NEW -- CorePack FLY Airport Checkpoint Friendly Notebook Messenger Bag - Holds up to 15" Notebooks

The initial CorePack launched with widespread acclaim for its messenger bag styling and design acumen and the newly re-engineered CorePack FLY edition expands upon that tradition by making it one of the most TSA/airport checkpoint friendly notebook bags on the market. Adhering to the strict standards set by the TSA, the hinged design enables the bag to butterfly open to allow the storage and notebook compartments to separate and lay flat during screening. Think of the time savings of not having to remove your notebook during airport screening and the additional security of not exposing your laptop to potential damage or theft. Or, take advantage of the new zippered side access opening, especially useful for quick retrieval of your notebook without removing the bag from the overhead compartment on an airplane. Available in Speakeasy Grey Pinstripe and Restart GrayScale Pixel for $89.95 MSRP CorePack FLY product information and images: http://www.speckproducts.com/content/corepack-fly-notebook-messenger-bag

Available in Speakeasy Grey and Restart GreyScale Pixel for $89.95 MSRP. AftPack product information and images: http://www.speckproducts.com/content/aftpack-notebook-backpack
