It’s now back in stock and ready to ship in the usual colors (Black, Steel, Crimson, Olive, Navy, Kelly, Wasabi, Deep Blue) and also in three unusual colors: Purple Antron/Cordura, Periwinkle, and Plum Ripstop.

Introducing the Q-AM (Quick-Adjust Messenger) Shoulder Strap

One of the great features of messenger bags is the convenience of having the contents of the bag handy at your finger tips because the bag rests at the side of your hip. But being able to swing the bag around to your back, wearing it like a bike messenger would, has several advantages as well: worn cross-body, high on your back, a messenger bag is more stable for cycling. And wearing a messenger bag this way can also be a life-saver for a long commute on foot, or a short sprint to the bus. It’s also great for keeping your bag from bumping everyone in a crowd.

With the Q-AM (Quick-Adjust Messenger) Shoulder Strap, you can wear your TOM BIHN messenger bag slung conveniently low on your hip at one moment, and with a quick tug, cinch the strap up snug so that the bag rides high on your back the next moment. The Q-AM Shoulder Strap also has a removable Messenger Stabilizer for extra stability, in case you need it.

The Q-AM Shoulder Strap can be used with the TOM BIHN Imago, ID, and Ego messenger bags. You can purchase it with your TOM BIHN messenger bag instead of the Standard Shoulder Strap for an extra $10.00. Purchased separately, the Q-AM Shoulder Strap is $20.00. The Q-AM Shoulder Strap is in stock and ready to ship.
