“This is how I roll. Biked home several miles with this thing on. What I fit in and attached to my Tom Bihn Smart Alec backpack: laptop computer and cables, headphones, kindle, notepad, rain jacket, hoodie, gloves, extra t-shirt, rain pants, snack bars..”
Blue Indigo Synapse ~ Mt. San Jacinto, Southern California
“Spent the day with my wife and daughter in the beautiful San Jacinto Mountains in Southern California. Had an amazing time and my wife was able to break in her new Synapse. She liked the pack, ALOT Love that blue! (Can I place my order for the new larger Synapse, yet?)”

Le_Pied: Western Flyer as one bag for 5-10 nights
“I’m partial to the WF. It’s all I’ve used for months (I mean one-bag only for up to 5 nights of business or 10 nights vacation). I would consider it as an under seat bag. I wear a size 12 US, and have given up the stress of overhead bin space. The WF, either ridiculously over-stuff, or politely filled has sat under the seat in front of me on 757, 737, CRJ200 and yes even the ERJ145! The WF also offers the option of getting the slip pocket on the back, rather than the back-straps, to create more ease of use when dealing with multiple pieces of luggage. IMHO the tough ballistic exterior, the multiple carry options, and the subtle organization would make it a good choice. Keep in mind, with any Tom Bihn bag, the use of organizer pouches and key straps to keep all your stuff connected is a great feature when going through security or in flight.”
Budapest Bound Tri-Star + Frenchie on the Box
Posted by RhoFro in the Forums:
For the last week, I tracked my package on the UPS site like I was following Santa Claus on NORAD. I knew it wouldn’t come a day earlier, or a day later than expected but what can you do when you have ants in your pants?
I want to thank Beau for helping me with my very first Tom Bihn order; a Tri-Star in steel/ultraviolet and then – 48 hours later – my second order (Ego) because I just had to. NOW I feel like I am well equipped for my trip to Budapest to cover the World Dog Show (and vacation).
Best of all is the box art!
