Photo of Small and Large Shop Bags side by side

The Shop Bag is our take on the reusable shopping bag. It has comfortable PORON® padded handles that won’t cut into your hands or shoulder and will never break down or lose their padding — no matter how many trips you take to the store — and we’ve piped the seams with a stiff plastic material (the material used on hat brims; we cover it with 400 denier pack cloth), which gives the Shop Bag enough body to stand up while you are filling it. You asked for a photo of the two sizes of Shop Bag (Small and Large) side by side: here you go.

The Shop Bag in both sizes is now available for pre-order in our new Wasabi Dyneema/nylon. We haven’t even made a sample of a Shop Bag in Wasabi to photograph (yet) — in the meantime, here’s a Photoshopped example of what it will look like.

Note: we’re low on many sizes and colors of the Travel Stuff Sacks — the first batch will likely sell out. Our Seattle factory will start work on the next batch soon, but if you want a Travel Stuff Sack (or two, three, or four) sooner rather than later, we’d recommend ordering soon.

Photo: Co-Pilot as a DSLR camera bag

Before the debut of the Camera I-O, we often used the Co-Pilot as a camera bag for our Canon 7D, lenses and accessories. The Co-Pilot was designed by Tom as a personal-sized carry-on travel bag and, even though it doesn’t have built-in padding, we felt our camera gear was adequately protected inside of the bag. When deltagorno posted in the TOM BIHN Forums to ask if the Co-Pilot could fit a DSLR and lenses, we responded with the below photo and others — see them all in “Q about Co-Pilot: Considering for SLR Camera Bag” in the Forums.
