Thank you for all the helpful responses. I see that I can do it with either minimal or no washing. Either way is fine. This is a great forum.

By way of background I own an Aeronaut and like it. I have traveled with it many times. I like the one bag concept. I am wondering if I could make it on a ten day trip with the Tristar. The...

In what bags will it fit?

I own an iPad but not a Kindle although I have tried the Kindle. My guess would be that the Kindle Touch would be a good start. Reading on it seems very simple. The nice thing about Amazon.com is...

I've owned all sorts of bags including rolling ones from Briggs & Riley and Tumi. If I were to buy a rolling bag today I would buy a Costco store brand bag - Kirkland. I think they are of good...

Costco sells roadside emergency kits at very reasonable prices. That's where I got mine.

What fold up cart do you use?

I will be going to Cairo and plan to take the Aeronaut plus one other bag. The Co-pilot would be enough except I want to take an SLR and a pocket camera along with an iPad. I am leaning towards the...

These are great images. Thank you for sharing them. Were these the only bags you took? How full was your Aeronaut? It looks half empty. I am going to Egypt on BA from IAD this month...

This thread has become way more interesting than I anticipated. I certainly agree with itlnparrot's points.

I'd like to add a couple of points: I don't expect perfection. In my opinion, the...

I understand that TB is a small company and I can see that a lot of thought goes into each bag. I appreciate that very much. At the same time, I don't think it is a good idea for a manufacturer to...

Darcy: thanks for responding. Seeing is believing:).

They've been saying a TB gym bag is in the works for years. I've given up on it. I use my Aeronaut.

I got the Nomad and really like it. I looked at the trifold but thought it was bigger than I need. The zippers are really rugged.

+1 A fully loaded Aeronaut is heavy even without compression.

I wish TB made a traditional dop kit. I understand about the clear one you make. I use it sometimes for travel. But when I go to the gym I want a traditional dop kit. I just bought one from Red...

A very useful photo. Nice for keeping things handy in traffic.

I am looking for professional looking brief case to carry my iPad sagely along with a modest amount of papers. I am think of the Zephyr as an option. Where would be the best place to put the iPad...

That bag looks like it has been everywhere a million times. I didn't know Tom was making bags 20 years ago. Very interesting. Thank you.

Well, I took my Synapse out today for its maiden voyage. I live in Washington, DC and we had a big snow storm -- 16 inches or so. I walked to the grocery store for some food and took the Synapse to...

Thanks for all the helpful responses. I ordered a Synapse (Black/Steel) and it is scheduled to arrive Dec 9. I will let you know what I think.

These posts are helpful. I'm thinking of buying a Synapse but I'm on the fence. People seem to like it but not love it like the Aeronaut -- or at least that's my impression.

Than you DQBunny. It's plenty big enough then for a book, an iPhone and a small digicam. I just now must decide whether it would look too much like a man purse. Not sure I care that much if it does....

Will the small cafe bag hold a hard cover book?

Thanks ex machina for the suggestion. I already have a Side Effect. I think I will end up with the clear organizer or a traditional dop kit. When I leave the gym my Aeronaut is pretty full so I...
