One Bag, One World: Going boldly with the Aeronaut
TOM BIHN AERONAUT CARRYON:Review summary – Innovative, highly adaptable shoulder bag with stowable backpack straps. Handmade in the USA. System approach with extensive array of packing cubes available. High points: Good looking, sleek, ergonomic design, excellent carrying comfort and capacity. RATING: 5 stars, a One Bag, One World top pick. "The Aeronaut is handmade at Tom Bihn’s Seattle factory. What difference does that make? I’m guessing a lot. When the owner/designer pays his workers a living wage, can walk through the factory and call his employees by name, can inspect the materials as they come in and the products as they go out - that has to make a huge difference in quality. And quality of construction and material is evident when you handle the Aeronaut."
