Use TrackThis to track your TOM BIHN order

TrackThis is a tool that might make that easier for you. From the TrackThis website:
“How does it work? After you start using one of our services, you’ll enter a tracking number and a nickname for a package. We’ll continually monitor the package and each time the package changes location we’ll send you a message.”

Forums: “LOVING this bag.”

“A follow-up to the above: On Sunday, which was Day 3 of the Davis Cup tie, I took quite a bit of stuff into the arena with me in the Super Ego, including a large, old-fashioned pair of binoculars. My friend and I stopped to get some (seriously non-nutritious) grub to take in with us, and I wondered whether it would fit down into the Super Ego along with the binoculars, random other stuff and my laptop in the Brain Cell.

It did. And it felt heavy, but I was sure impressed by the way the Q-AM Strap distributed the weight; it wasn’t difficult to carry at all.

LOVING this bag.”

Practical Travel Gear reviews the Aeronaut: “A True Carry-on Bag”

The TOM BIHN Aeronaut Reviewed by Practical Travel Gear

“This is one tough bag I expect to put through its paces for many years to come. The best zippers, the toughest ripstop nylon, and made in the USA on top of it. It also works with the Tom Bihn packing cubes I reviewed a few posts back. One size of those fits exactly in the rectangular side pockets that are on both ends of this bag, so you can stuff a lot into those and then pull them out and be organized at your hotel.”

Read the full review @ Practical Travel Gear. Or, see the Aeronaut for yourself.
