SailorWA: Review of the New Tom Bihn Absolute Shoulder Strap
“I have been using the new Absolute Shoulder Strap for two weeks on my Ego, which weighs no less than 18 pounds. This strap is Amazing!
Originally, when I ordered my Ego, I forgot to upgrade prior to checkout and received the Basic Shoulder Strap with my great bag. When I visited the Seattle Factory Showroom this August I bought the Absolute Shoulder Strap (original).
I must say, that the first time I lifted the bag after quickly installing the new strap, I felt the difference on my shoulder. It does not feel like I have a twenty pound bag hanging from my left shoulder. The new strap makes it possible to carry more gear.”

Customer feedback on the Synapse from the TOM BIHN Forums:
“I have used my Plum Synapse for the past three days, and I’m in love! It has forced me to downsize from all of the stuff I carried around in the Smart Alec, which is much better for my back, and everything just works so well. And it’s a gorgeous bag!” – marbenais
“So as usual the bag looks great and I am looking forward to finding out all the great things about the Synapse that don’t become apparent until after it is used, the way all TB bags are designed…” – keb

“Last week we took a trip to Playa Del Carmen in Mexico for a friend’s wedding and assorted South of the Border fun. With many miles to travel and a full agenda, who else would be my second-best traveling companion? My wife is #1, of course, but my Brain Bag is a close #2!” – MagicTiki

Testing the Cache as a “checkpoint friendly” sleeve
“Just returned from first air travel with MacBook Air in Cache. Since I have the solid state drive it occurred to me that the protection of the Brain Cell was overkill. I felt very comfortable with my Air in the Cache in an ID bag. Added bonus was that for security I popped the Air/Cache in the ID’s open back pocket. It fit perfectly and was exceptionally easy to pop in and out for the TSA folks.”

“Another trip, another post. Can you tell I love my Western Flyer?!
I’ve just done my first trip as a (part time) grad student to attend a research conference. It was in Ballina, a beautiful river / beach side town in northern New South Wales”
