Confirmed: Katy is the universe ;)

Thanks, Walker, for that excellently detailed review of the Hydro Flask... I'm checking it out now!

Welcome, Franco! I'm happy to hear you are enjoying your Ristretto and look forward to seeing those pictures!

Can I "like" this whole entire thread? I'm rolling, here...

Try this shirt from ExOfficio:

ExOfficio.com - Women's Kizmet

I have their short-sleeved Kizmet Camper shirt and the fabric is wonderful, fashionable, and doesn't wrinkle. The Kizmet Traveler...

It sounds like the Synapse or Co-Pilot, both in their Dyneema versions, are the bags for you.

:p

Yeah, that's the only part that I was slightly concerned about since the OP is going in December. But really, one can just wear the same outerwear the whole time including on the plane... And...

Actually dorayme, you've already seen my packing list, quoted below:



As far as laundering went, I found a self-service laundromat near where we were staying in NYC and laundered my clothes...

I did 7 days in NYC + 4 days in Montreal with just a WF, so I think you'll be fine :) Just wear your winter stuff on the plane :)

I could have sworn I posted this exact same post elsewhere but I can't find it now. Thanks from me as well, Frank! I now own a PPU clip which will serve me well on further adventures!

Oh my gosh, that is so true but I never thought about it before now! The water bottle pocket on the Synapse is the water bottle pocket on the Co-Pilot, the two side pockets are the same as well......

I also use my FOT pouch as a first-aid kit... Fits a couple of bandages, nail clippers/nail file, and several doses of allergy meds and cold medicine in blister packaging just fine.

I actually have the same spork in the same color! :D

While it'd match, I'm afraid she'd have a tough time finding it against the Iberian lining! :D

Yikes! I'm glad you're okay! Are you in America? You can sue, you know! :P

If I subjected my cheap Walmart (or was it Costco?) backpack to the horrors I've visited upon my TB backpacks I'm sure they would come back from beyond the grave to haunt me incessantly... and yet...

Aww cuuuuuuute!!! :)

Looks like they now have another solution besides the ones with the silicone seal, and these are insulated as well: LunchBots - Thermal - Stainless Steel Food Containers

Well "bunny" isn't quite so far removed from "Badger"... :P

Ouch, just reading "water bottle in the laptop compartment" set off alarm bells in my head, and they are loud!

Thanks Katy! Any advice for the Strap Wrap?

Hi guys,

I've been using my TB Ultrasuede Cleaning Cloths for quite some time now and although I can't see evidence of it, I'm sure some oils from my glasses and/or iPhone have gotten into it. I...

Most terrorists, I believe, would not like to call more attention to themselves by confronting someone in authority. Just a guess.

It is difficult to design a "fits all" pass-through sleeve for the retractable drag handles on rolling luggage - some are set narrow, some are set wide; some have just the one telescoping column...
