Akknitter’s Synapse 25 and Swift

Originally posted by Akknitter on Ravelry.

“I have a new name for this bag. It can no longer be the Synapse 25. She is now my Tardis.

Okay, let’s start out with her packed only with my Swift. Essentially, I packed my Swift for travel and stuck it in the main compartment:

For those wondering about the size of this bag, I’m 5’6”.

Next: fully loaded after a fun weekend at MDS&W or Rhinebeck

Okay, pictures of what it holds.

5 skeins of sock yarn and 2 skeins of worsted that went in the bottom pocket (3 sock), water bottle pocket (2 sock) and side pockets (1 each worsted)

Add to that, 3 four ounce braids of fluff in the main compartment on top of the Swift.

And finally, my Swift

For those who are curious. What’s in my Swift for travel.

I tuck the iPad in its case behind one of the pockets. Fits beautifully.

Eric’s Video Reviews: Aeronaut, Tri-Star, Western Flyer

Eric has four of our travel bags — two Aeronauts, a Tri-Star, and a Western Flyer — and he’s made several videos about them designed to help you choose which bag is right for you.

In this, the first video, Eric shows the Aeronaut in both 1050d ballistic nylon and 400d Dyneema®/420d nylon ripstop and explains the differences between the two materials. Also shown are Aeronaut Packing Cubes.

We’ll post Eric’s other videos next week, but if you (understandably) don’t want to wait, here are links to the other two: Tri-Star and Western Flyer and Western Flyer.

Bye!

“inside the aeronaut are 4 changes of warm clothes for me (heading to the uk), 2 changes of workout clothes, swimming trunks, a thicker book, and two 3d clear organizer pouches with toiletries. i’ve packed in a wf sized packing cube backpack (everything but socks and underwear) and a small packing cube (for the socks and underwear).”

aeronaut and synapse 25 stack nicely in the overhead bin of this 777-200!

Tizi: New Side Effect!

“Just picked it up today at the store after pre-ordering it. I can fit my iPhone, wallet, Google Nexus 7 in its case, pocket knife and a writing pad. It can easily fit more, but for illustration purposes this is what I put in it as soon as I got it home. I also got it with the waist strap. I will post up come pictures when I get that set up. Thanks TB Crew, this is the greatest little bag ever!”

Aeronaut and Side Effect: traveling with a baby

“I’ve been meaning to post this for a while for those of us who are on the shorter side who think the Aeronaut is too big. I am 5’3″. The Aeronaut and the baby weighed 20 lbs each. The Aeronaut carried everything for me and the baby, including diapers for a week, feeding supplies, and even a life vest! I walked a very long way through the airport (on both ends of the trip) with this setup and it was fine.

That is a black Side Effect under the baby with our passports and my wallet.”

Photos by dnarud13: Co-Pilot in Italy

“First outing for my new Co-Pilot: Dinner at Ai Sette Santi, on Monte Berico, overlooking Vicenza. Holds everything I need, safely. I’ll take a pic of what I carry and post up later. Typical TB flawless quality; 3D cubes are just the thing for the two pockets in the main compartment.”

nsh: Synapse 19 and MCB for a Week in Illinois

“Next Monday I am headed on a week long trip that has been complicated to pack for because of my itinerary. Three different hotels, one rental car, several cabs, and lots of different events…I was worried if my Synapse would do the job but of course, with some practice packing and careful clothing selection, I am sure that it does the job!”
