When I visited a few months ago, Trevor politely asked where in Seattle were we going next? I looked at him, surprised.... the Tom Bihn Factory was our destination!! We had driven 2 hours in the...

You will LOVE visiting the factory! I'm sure you will given the deluxe factory tour... and maybe even get to see Tom. It's a wonderful experience! Enjoy looking at all the bags in progress, and...

I wonder if any of these talented ladies can balance a fully loaded Aeronaut on their head? That would be a great picture!

Maybe I'm TB OCD, but I carefully took the unused accessories from my Synapse (yes, like most people here, I removed the waist strap and use the sternum strap for larger/longer carry loads) and put...

I don't think I can even count how many keystraps I own! They are so useful! Dyneema ones are so pretty, and I will probably get multiples, especially since my life is color-coded as much as i can...

I want to say "No, you actually need FOUR Tom Bihn Backpacks!" But instead I'll say:

But of course you do! And for the same reasons that I "need" 2 Swifts and 4 LS. I could definitely pare it down...

Every few years or so we visit family in Toronto to celebrate my grandmother's birthday (104 years old this June!), and we are treated to hospitality that is second to none. I had the pleasure of...

Welcome to the forums! And I can assure you that Tom is a real person :)


But you are not out of the woods yet.... there is a thing called TB Anticipation Syndrome

Yes, the Nordic and new Steel Co-Pilots are made of the thicker 400d Dyneema or the Ballistic nylon, and both are lined with the 200d Dyneema.

Exterior of U.S. high tenacity...

When I saw the title "Umbrella", I thought TB was going to make Dyneema umbrellas! Oh well!

Can the sky get any more blue? Beautiful picture!

I don't do a lot of "business travel", but have my situations where I'd rather blend into the crowd. So my Black/UV Co-pilot and Synapse are perfect for those times. For "fun" daily activities like...

Oh! I never thought of that! Wouldn't that be something?!? Or maybe if not friends with Tom, then maybe the Noro guy (Mr. Eisaku Noro) knows the guy who dyes the Dyneema.... I love it!

Thanks, julawils and GuyB!

Well, the scarf would never exist without the TB bags that make it possible for me to knit on the go! I wish you all could see the TB group on the knitting site...

I just finished knitting a scarf and realized that it matches many of my TB items!

I asked very early on in my TB ordering infancy.. twice for me and once for my mom's birthday Cardinal LS order. After reading more in the forums, it was pointed out that there was just one person...

Congratulations on your new Aeronaut! I don't have an Aeronaut, but I do have an Absolute Strap... it's almost magical how it makes heavy loads manageable. Be sure to post pictures of your Paris...

I'm with you here, Grandcache. After a while I started feeling guilty for asking so much, so I stopped. I'll have to live vicariously through the others' boxes!

Here's our critters:

I totally agree. This past summer we went to Yellowstone http://www.tombihn.com/forums/customer-pictures-video/5063-yellowstone-week-tb.html and the PCSB was perfect for the trip except for the...

I use my Plum/Black Swift weekly for administrative purposes, so that is parked next to my desk.

My Synapse is in my closet, ready to go. I need to find a better home for my off season Little...

I never thought I was much of a brand person, but now that I'm older, I guess I have my favorites. When I find something I like, I stick with it, and will gladly have less of other stuff in order to...

Just went from this (approximately every 15 minutes):

Large Shop Bags (2 Nordic, 2 Iberian, 1 Steel) ............Christmas presents!
Aubergine Little Swift

Darcy, if I have an "old" SA, I should be able to use the bottom modular pocket, right? But not the top one since I have no loops up there?

An Azalea Light Saber? I'd love that! When the boys were into it, we all had one, and being the purple lover that I am, mine was purple... Mace Windu's!
