Searching for Alien Life on Earth

I've been using my Super Pro day every day for all my errands around Cambridge, MA. That said, it sometimes gets to enjoy more interesting outings... like searching for alien life. No, seriously! In this picture you can see my bag being used to haul a number of water and mud samples from Mono Lake outside Yosemite CA. The lab members pictured needed help carrying the filled bottles back from the lake to the cars (about a 1/2 mile hike) after other bags started breaking. So I put one in my Bailey bag, then another, then another... well, you get the idea. Jaws were left open at the amount of stuff I could fit in, is all I'm saying. Check out this link for a bit more about how Bailey bags helped in the search for alien life! http://www.astrobio.net/index.php?option=com_expedition&task=detail&id=3259

BaileyWorks High Five

Bought my 253 Courier (Small) back in the summer of 1998 right before I started High School. I have used it every day since then, for all of High School, College, it even acted as a drum stick/guitar string / cable bag while my band was on tour back in 2004. My 253 is my everything. Thanks to everyone at Bailey for an awesome product! I can't wait to pick up a Super-Pro!!!

SuperPro saves the skin off his back!
I got my super pro M in september 2008 after getting a road bike for the first time that summer. It was perfect timing. Not long after getting the bike I had my first run in with the ground. A car cut me off as I was riding through the UNH campus and I did a front flip over his trunk and landed on my super pro. Needless to say the bag was perfectly fine, and it saved me a lot of damage at that. I can't say the same about the huge dent that I caused on the side of the car. I guess thats the price you pay when you go head to head with a Bailey bag owner. Thanks for such a great product. It was worth every penny.

Spousal envy ...
I was in your shop today while my wife picked out a new bag. As we walked out I felt bad that I couldn't justify one for myself. I commented that "they're losing business because they make such durable, long-lasting bags."

My bag is from 1996. I don't think I've left the house without it for the past 13 years. That's about 4750 days of use. Sorry I didn't buy a bag for myself today, but the old one is still going strong. Thanks!

If It's Good Enough For Buddha ...

...Probably the only way to make a SuperPro look small.

The Bags Change with You

Over the last, I don't know, nearly 20 years it seems, I've had Bailey bags. The oldest ones are in as good shape as the newest. I have three. They've carried bread from Ceres, phone numbers from the Press Room, books from Stroudwater, a dog from the pound, overnight clothes from my boyfriend's house, computer and really poorly written papers throughout college, food for the airplane ride, decorations for the wedding, favorite pajamas and a camera for the hospital, all the stuff I could steal from the hospital, diapers, and dirty diapers. Today one is my purse (none of your business what's in there), one is at day care, and the big one is half filled with stuff for vacation. Thanks guys. I hate cheap stuff. These bags will go with my son to college.

BaileyWorks: Protection from Angry Wild Animals

Hi guys,

Just wanted to again thank you for my yellow Portsmouth Criterium
Messenger bag from two years ago. I left the house at 5:30 this
evening to go to the Redhook and join the running group that departs
at 6. As I was approaching my car I caught what I thought was the
neighbors cat coming towards me. Just before it jumped at me I
realized it was an angry animal not cat like. I swung the bag between
him and I. He latched onto the bag and I swung him around like a dog
playing with rope.

As the creature swung into the air and across the parking lot I
noticed it was either a fox or a small coyote. Either way he was none
to happy with me and decided that he wasn't going to let me get the
best of him. As he lined me up again I tried to get into the car. He
must have run under the car because all of a sudden my bag is being
pulled under the car. I thought this Crit bag was a most wanted but
seriously even by the animal kingdom? Again I found myself swinging
this poor creature around as he was shaking the bag. He slid this time
with a roll and crashed into a neighbors car.

Well, now it was like a spaghetti western. I'm in the middle of the
parking staring at this creature. He's across the parking lot in the
classic bad animal head down looking at me sideways and breathing hard
pose. I can just tell that he wasn't done yet. I could just see him
cracking his knuckles getting ready to fire. He leapt into action and
bolted at me in an S pattern. I dropped my jacket and my water bottle
and went with what worked twice already. He jumped at me and I swung!
I connected with that little bastard and in my complete disbelief he
latched on! What the hell! This thing is possessed.

I swung him into the car this time and he fell to the ground. I backed
up. He stood and stared at me. I really wasn't sure what he was going
to do so I backed up further. He went under the car. I took this
moment to get my phone out of the bag and call the police. Somewhere
between me calling and the police showing up the creature vanished.
The police mentioned that earlier a little girl was also attacked but
it got her jacket fortunately.

My point to all of this is to let you in on a marketing tip. Bailey
Works bags are not only functional for carrying items across town,
across country or as in my purpose, across the world, they are also an
important piece of safety equipment.

Thanks again. I am so glad to have your products in my arsenal!

From Our Friend Fred

I have had Bailey bags since 1992, I think. This one is having a visit to Petra in Jordan.

More Baileybags in China

Whether it's riding my bike throughout LA, travelling in China, DJing, or simply breathing, I carry my Baileyworks with me. I love it. Thank you for being awesome.

Boxer Proof

Aside from my small messenger bag which I've had for over 8 years, I've been using a Bailey works laptop bag for three years now too. I never thought the day would come when that would be tested until I brought my computer to my boyfriend's house. Early in the morning, his roommate's 10 month old boxer decided to grab the case (with computer) off the couch and have some fun. I ran down stairs to find it on the other side of the room covered in slobber and dog hair. The computer was fine! That dog had destroyed couches, mattresses, even cd collections, but he couldn't get through my Bailey Bag. Thank you so much!

My Personal Binky

I currently own a Bailey Works laptop sock and two Super Pros (large and XL). They have been my briefcase, my flight carry on, my dry cleaning/laundry bag, my backpack, my luggage, my shopping bag, my grocery hauler…and one time, when my dog Henry hurt his paw…an emergency corgi hauling bag. The bags NEVER fail. No matter how big and heavy the load, no matter how bad the weather gets…they just work. I have had other bags from other companies and they do not hold a candle to your product. It is not often that you find something that always performs….your bags ALWAYS come through. Many Thanks!!!!

Not kidding about the bag being waterproof

I accidentally left my bailey bag outside in the yard night. Turned out to be one of those random summer nights where a rainstorm appears out of nowhere. After taking a 9 hour beating from the rain all night, my laptop, papers, mp3 player and everything else in the bag were completely dry. Everything in my gym bag, which had been sitting beside my baileys, was soaked to the core. Amazing!!! Love your product, keep it up!

7 Years and almost brand new

I picked up a royal blue medium 253 in the summer of 2001. Used it for my last two years of high school, throughout college, and now use it for work. It has been my piece of carry on luggage for every trip I have taken, including a semester abroad. Love your bags!

Super Pro

Awesome bags! I have had my super-pro XL for something like 7 or 8 years now and it is amazing! Skiing, traveling, riding to work or the grocery store...no bag does it better. Thanks!

Bailey Bags in China

My super pro was by far my best 16th birthday present. I haven't gone a day to school without it since. It's been my carry on for every flight I've taken since, and it didn't leave my side for my four months in China. Here's me with my bag at the Terracotta Warriors!

Great for Groceries

Amazingly, my Super Pro (L) was able to handle the ride home with the following groceries packed in: - a gallon jug of milk - 64 oz carton of orange juice - 64 oz carton of egg nog - 3 liter can of olive oil - 48 oz jug of vegetable oil - 21 oz box of cereal - 18 oz box of cake mix - two 15 oz cans of black beans - a head of garlic When I got home I realized that I hadn't even thought twice about carrying all that weight - I knew that my bag could handle it. I should have thought twice about wrapping the garlic up, though. Then again, I kind of like my bag smelling like a French kitchen.
