With my Ristretto I always had 2 mini pouches hanging in the main compartment. A clear one containing work my work name tag and security pass and a cordura one for my earbuds. Because one was clear I...

I'll try to take some over the weekend :-)

Co-Pilot is great so far. Absolutely gorgeous.

Love being able to fit my ipad, a book or 2, a water bottle, a lunch box, and all my assorted bits and pieces in such a small package. The Ristretto...

I think I'd prefer it on the interior, but it's not too bad. It will be against my back most the time anyway.

Is the little tag on the back of my Co-Pilot describing the ballistic nylon a new thing? I don't see it on the pics on the product page.

I like the reverse side: "TOM BIHN: Accept no substitutes."...

Test run completed. I received my shipping notification on March 8 and the bag arrived today, March 19th.

As expected, the tracking is very limited, it basically says the item left the USPS sort...

"Your TOM BIHN order has shipped!"

Right now I consider these to be six of the most beautiful words in the English language.

Glad you like it. I always thought it was a wonderful little accessory but never found a use for it. I'm happy it's found a new home and I have some extra dollars toward my Co-Pilot!

It's fun to think that might be my black Co-Pilot in the picture!

ceb - that makes sense. I need to get myself an American sized cup holder so my Kleen Kanteen doesn't sit at an awkward angle threatening to spill all over the car.

I'm not sure if you have bigger cup holders in the USA, but my Kleen Kanteen is about the same diameter as the 18, 21 and 24 oz hydroflasks and doesn't fit very well in the cup holders of any of the...

When you say "on its way", I presume you mean "the back ordered co-pilots will be sewn soon", rather than "it's in the mail", right?

I have read a number of times people comment that the Ristretto and Cafe bags look like they will let rain in around the edges of the flap.

This morning I got caught in some particularly heavy...

Thanks for all the feedback folks. I have just ordered a Co-Pilot in Black/Wasabi.

Sadly, they're backordered until late March.

As a favour to the Tom Bihn crew I have just placed an order to assist with this trial. It's the least I could do.

Only problem is waiting for the Co-Pilots to be back in stock.

Jonathan

Thank you too. A few more dollars towards my co-pilot!

I'll pack it up and drop it in the post box tonight.

Is a co-pilot by itself small enough for this or would it require UPS?

This is the most fantastic news!

Thanks Scott.

Now I just have to deal with that other Tom Bihn related affliction - colour indecision.

Was all set to order black/wasabi, but steel/ultraviolet and navy/iberian are both tempting. I currently...

Thanks everyone for the responses.

Nukediver - I agree. The Ristretto has been great for a minimal carry buy struggles with "one more thing". I'll still have my MCB as a more minimal carry if I...

I'm thinking about putting my Ristretto for iPad onto eBay and grabbing a Co-pilot as my everyday bag but thought I'd seek the wisdom of the forum to get a better idea of whether it will suit my...

I'm having that problem right now. I (probably) plan to order a co-pilot. But $65 shipping to Aus means I really should buy more to "make it worthwhile". Before I know it I'm up to a $250 order plus...

I agree that you can't have too many accessories, I'd just love some of them to be Nordic. Unfortunately the shop bag is a beautifult bit of kit, but at $30-$35 would for me replace one of a number...

Are you using the large or small shop bag?
