“I have had my Tom Bihn backpack since about 1990, and it has been through 4 years of high school, 5 years of college, 6 years of commuting to work, and now almost 4 years as a baby gear bag. Thanks for making such a quality product!” – C.K.

“I received my Empire Builder last week and took it on a business
trip to Austin over the weekend. I’m duly impressed – the bag is
everything I was looking for in a bag and more. The design and
construction are first rate, and I love the fact that you guys,
kind of like Apple, just get everything “right”. Who needs a ___
[brand name withheld for their protection]? You have a new member
of the Tom Bihn cult. Thanks again, KWE.”

“Just a quick note to say I just love my new bag!!!! I have had it
now for about one month and it is outstanding. Very well made and
just perfect for my application.” – J.S.

“My new best pal is my Smart Alec. I came by to pick it up a few
weeks ago and we’re inseparable. This is so much more handy than
my off-the-shelf pack I picked up to replace my previous pack (I
used for years). The Fruedian Slip is especially slick.” – M.L.

“My Checkpoint Flyer arrived yesterday. You have truly outdone
yourself with this product. Fit and finish are perfect. This is my
new favorite bag. Thanks for continually upgrading your line and
making such magnificent bags available.” – B.H.

“Greetings from Hong Kong, where I’m loving my new Tom Bihn bag collection, especially the ID. Looks good in the attached photo, doesn’t it? It was taken on the ferry between Discovery Bay and Hong Kong Island.

The ID has been my constant companion since I arrived here about two weeks ago. Can’t say enough nice things about it. When I’m in tourist mode, it holds my jacket, bottle of water, camera, and guidebook. When I’m conducting business, the Freudian Slip insert holds business cards, folders, and papers without crushing them. I’ve even used it as an overnight bag when visiting friends on other islands.

No matter what I’m doing, the ID’s messenger bag profile and Q-A-M strap allows me to slide through crowds with ease. Sudden downpours and ferry splashes just shake or wipe off easily. The zip pocket on the front flap is the perfect place to hold my Octopus (mass transit) card, until I get an organizer pouch to attach to the lanyard.
I love the thoughtful little touches, like the ultrasuede-lined pockets for my phone and sunglasses. The bright cayenne interior makes it easy to find things in the bottom of the bag.” – M.L.
