Thanks, this is good to know.

Hi,
I am heading out on my first trip with my aeronaut tomorrow. I have to say, I have a new respect for people who are able to travel so lightly. It took me a long time to pack my bag and just...

Yes! They got me my backordered Aeronaut way ahead of time. If plum is the color you want, it is worth the wait.

My overpacking ways are so nervous. It should be fine but I insist on bringing some things that do take up a bit of room. If I pack wisely and don't fall into the same packing traps I usually do I...

This looks great! My sister in law is driving up to visit me and this would be a fun place to take them to.

First a huge thank you to everyone who got me my Aubergine/Wasabi Aeronaut here a full 2 weeks before I needed it. I am so appreciative.

When I opened the box my first thought was "It is so...

I had prk eye surgery yesterday so your photo isn't clear for me yet. I will look again but wanted to thank you for posting it.

The aubergine with the wasabi looks awesome.

Would you mind taking a photo of them together?

I have decided to pull the trigger on the Aeronaut. I really wanted to go with the Forest/Ultraviolet but I have a conifer Synapse and don't think they will match well.

My husband prefers the...

I wish I could like this more than once.

I really want to try icebreakers.

I have a 3d cube and some other goodies arriving Thursday. I do have a travel tray which I haven't used yet for anything other than knitting. A Nordic shop bag is on my wishlist, I love the ones I...

I found Tom Bihn through the, not so active now, blog Vegan Lunch Box. In one post, the writer packed her lunch box (which I owned) into a MCB and I followed the link to Tom Bihn. From there, I got...

Oh yeah, I did mean I would look at comparable sizes but then order the Aeronaut or Tri-Star, I probably wasn't clear on that. Thanks for the input, I am really excited about whichever of the 2 bags...

I do need to go to REI and actually look at it. I was waiting a few weeks until preschool starts again so I can go without my 4 year old helper. My trip isn't until late February so I have plenty of...

The Osprey was 46L so on par with the Aeronaut, but you are right about the materials not being on par with the Tom Bihn bags and the lack of compartments is something that annoys me.

I think my...

@Adamki I worry the Tri-Star is a bit to small. I rarely travel with my laptop so there is the space in the center compartment but the Aeronaut seems like a better fit for me. Of course, one day...

@Fat Crip, the Osprey I was comparing to is also 46L (it is the ozone series) but you are right about the wheels and handle taking up some of that space. Again, you are also right about it only being...

Beginning next year, I will be traveling a lot more and I am really wanting to tame my overpacking ways. I do need to get a smaller bag and I am considering the Aeronaut. I am almost 100% sold on it...

Badger, we have a lot in common. I love jcrew and smartwool. Have you seen the field notes archive box?

Everyone here is so knowledgable and seem to be, like me, pretty loyal to their favorite brands. So I am curious, what other favorite brands/products do you like?

I really like Klean Kanteen,...

I saw something on twitter about a larger Synapse as early as March 2013. Maybe Darcy can confirm or deny?

I am starting to debate a Cafe Bag. It is far from my normal purse style but I keep going back to it. I also want another Shop Bag, I am seriously addicted to them.

Do you happen to have a photo of the 2 sizes for comparison? Also, is the quarter cube to big to be a 311 bag? After looking at the flickr page, I am debating ordering both. I see a lot of good us
