Synapse in Kelly/Steel and Steel/Solar Dyneema…
We have a few Synapse backpacks in Kelly/Steel and Steel/Solar Dyneema available now. While our Seattle factory will make Steel/Solar Dyneema in the next batch of Synapse backpacks, we won’t make Kelly/Steel again. That makes this your last chance to get what (we think) is a pretty great color combination.

Gadling: Tri-Star one of Top Ten Travel Products of 2009
“Tom Bihn was featured in our best of 2008 lineup with their Checkpoint Flyer bag, and this year they did it again. Their Tri-Star bag beat every other bag I tested in 2009, and earns a well deserved spot in the this lineup. The Tri-Star is an astounding bag – it is a shoulder bag, backpack and carry-on all in one. There is enough space for a laptop, documents and clothes for a couple of days. “
