April 1st preview of our new website design
Here’s the first look at our new website design. We’re going in a retro direction. Give us your feedback in the TOM BIHN forums.
New: Matterhorn Water Bottle
A lightweight aluminum BPA-free water bottle made in our home state of Washington? Could it get any better? With our Matterhorn edition logo printed on the Liberty Bottleworks water bottle, it did.
Made by Liberty Bottleworks in Yakima, Washington, our Matterhorn Water Bottle is lightweight, durable, and quite handsome. The bottle is made out of aluminum and the inside is coated with a food-grade flexible material, which ensures no chips or flakes end up in your water. And unlike uncoated metal bottles, the Liberty Bottleworks coating ensures there’s no heavy metal leaching or porous surface for bacteria build up. $18. In-stock and ships within one business day.
Introducing the Camera I-O (ready to ship)
The Camera I-O (Insert-Outsert) is designed to help you carry your DSLR body, several lenses, an external flash, and accessories. Originally conceived as a padded insert to be added to our Brain Bag backpack (the Camera I-O also fits in the Super Ego, Ego, Empire Builder, ID and Aeronaut)
we’ve added features so that it can also be used as a great, stand-alone, shoot-from-the-hip photo bag.
The Camera I-O ($110) and optional Tripod-Lighting Kit Quivers ($40-$45) are available for order now and ship within one business day.
Included with the Camera I-O are four padded dividers designed to allow you to optimize and organize the space inside of the bag based on what gear you will carry. Also included with the Camera I-O is a padded, removable lid system. When traveling from location to location with the Camera I-O inside our Brain Bag or other bag, the lid system is a great way to add an extra level of protection for your gear; when using the I-O on its own, the lids will help keep dust, dirt and light precipitation out as well.
Carry a travel tripod or lighting gear? You may want to add a Tripod-Lighting Kit Quiver, which is available in two sizes: 360mm ($40) and 520mm ($45). The Quivers can be clipped to the sides or bottom of the Camera I-O, carried on their own with an optional shoulder strap, or packed inside of a larger bag. We call them “Quivers” because Tom’s brother Dan, who helped develop the Camera I-O, works out of the bags as he’s shooting, pulling out his lighting gear or tripod like it’s the Hunger Games.

Camera Insert/Outsert Trailer
We’re not fans of movie trailers that give away the whole story, so our trailer for Tom’s new design — the Camera Insert/Outsert — is more of a teaser. Dig out your 3D glasses and stay tuned: we’ll be releasing the long-awaited Camera Insert/Outsert (and more videos) within the next few days.
New: NOOK™ Pouches
Our NOOK™ Simple Touch and NOOK™ Color or NOOK™ Tablet pouches are as simple as it gets and they may be as good as it gets, too: they’re a flat pouch that closes with a zipper on the top. The top is cut a bit wider than the bottom, which allows the opening to be a little generous for easy in and out, and gives the pouch its distinctive shape. Like our other Organizer Pouches, the NOOK™ Simple Touch and NOOK™ Color or NOOK™ Tablet pouches have a snap hook so you can snap it inside of our bigger bags. Available in real Cork fabric from Portugal, Ultrasuede, or Padded (1/4″ / 8mm foam laminated to Taslan® nylon outside and soft brushed tricot inside).
Our NOOK™ Pouches are in-stock and ship within one business day. $15-$20.
