New at TOM BIHN: Lifefactory Glass Water Bottle

New at TOM BIHN: the LifeFactory Glass Water Bottle

Tom says:
“There are plenty of alternatives to disposable water bottles out there and I’ve tried most if not all of them. IMHO, the Lifefactory Glass Water Bottle is head and shoulders above the rest. The glass has no flavor, takes no flavor and leaves no flavor. It’s the epitome of earth-friendly: not petroleum based and infinitely recyclable. Easy to clean, and easy to know when it needs to be cleaned. Lifefactory adds a thin silicone sleeve that makes the glass far less likely to slip from your grip and protects the glass from minor bumps and drops. The screw cap is BPA-free polypropylene and has a handy loop/bail that allows you attach the bottle to a carabiner (or the new clip on the front of the Brain Bag). The wide-mouth opening is great for dropping in a few ice cubes, lemon slices or spooning in fruit juice concentrate; makes cleaning that much easier too.
On top of all these details are the aesthetics: Life Factory bottles are easy on the eyes, and refreshing on the palate too – water tastes like water again. For me, staying hydrated is no longer a chore but something to which I look forward.”

    Around The World With One Bag: The Aeronaut

    “The Aeronaut’s design is thoughtful and elegant — with special attention paid to the “small” details. To me, finding a bag maker like Tom Bihn was like finding the Apple Computer of Luggage. And now that I’ve made the switch, it’s hard to imagine going back to anything else.”
