    My second Forager Tote!

    I ordered the Forager Cinch Bag some months ago in Black/ Northwest Sky, with Ballistic fabric. That was my 3rd TB bag. But, TB sent me an email about a new color for a bunch of their bags, and when I saw the photos of the Forager in the limited-time-only Agave color, I fell for it instantly and ordered immediately. (As I type this in mid-July, the Agave is sold out.)

    The Agave color is beautiful. This Forager bag is now my summer EDC. My black Forager bag will be for my winter EDC. As for features, one pocket is a little tight, but over all, the bag is great. There’s plenty of places to clip the included key strap (and for me to add more TB key straps I bought previously). With the included long strap, I can wear the bag crossbody if I want. I prefer the short handles, though. I love the handle snaps. They make the Forager look more ‘put together’.

    There’s lots of room in the open main compartment for anything I want to carry. I like that the cinch top would keep rain off items inside the bag.

    A couple of things I’m disappointed about— I wish the interior main compartment had one wide zippered pocket. And, I wish the interior lining choice with Agave could have been Fjord blue instead of Dusk gray. But still, I’m thrilled I was able to order the Forager in Agave.

    Functional AND fun

    I plainly have a Tom Bihn softspot as I have more than enough TB bags to survive, yet decided that the Forager needed to join them. I live on an island and so must use a boat to get to the bigger island where shopping happens. As such, I need bags that are sturdy, waterproof/resistant, not too big or too small, and multifunctional. The Forager hits all the sweet spots PLUS looks good. I love that it is expandable! Can be carried as a crossbody OR on my arm! Has a secure zipper pocket! And plenty of other outside pockets to tuck needed items into! Am happy happy happy

    A really clever design!

    This is a clever bag in a couple of ways. First, it's big enough to stuff in lots of things. But not big enough to get too heavy to carry around! Second, the cinch feature gives it lots of flexibility and stuff will not fall out. Also the cinch is easier than a zipper when it's dark. Third, it can stand up by itself. Fourth, I like the color! To be honest when/if it comes in fun colors I'll be very very tempted to buy it again!

    Almost perfect

    Great bag - very similar to some of Bellroy's Cinch line. The Spectron is beautiful and flexible, and for this design I think it works better than Ballistic as it has more give.

    The structured base is amazing. Often crossbody bags in Spectron or Halcyon are too unstructured and don't hold weight as well as Ballistic, however the base solves that. Great stuff.

    Why not five stars?

    1. The front and back pockets are very tight, and because of this are fiddly to access. Worse on the Ballistic. A little more material or making them slightly wider would go a long way. Would also make it easier to tuck away the straps or handles.

    2. Some of the slip pockets are very narrow, as with a lot of TB bags. It would be good to move with the times, make them twice as wide and then they could fit a cable or still be narrow enough for pens.

    3. There was quite a lot of loose stitching ends, which isn't great for the price.

    4. It would be good to have more O-rings. Two each side around the outside seam instead of one. Two in the front zipped compartment instead of one. Two each side in the main comparetment instead of one, and one at on each inside side panel.

    5. Add drainage holes to the main compartment, for moisture but mainly for debris due to the seam around the base.

    6. Wonder if the base should be Ballistic for abrasion resistance.

    Just tiny tweaks, but would go a long way!

    Love it so far

    I haven’t used it over the long term yet, but so far the Forager is great. It’s my first Spectron bag and it’s strong but lightweight. The Bordeaux color is nicer than I expected. I took it to the farmer’s market this morning and was able to fit quite a lot of small/medium sized size stuff in it comfortably. My favorite feature is the carry handles, which are comfortable in-hand and over the arm. Also love the bottom shape, which helps the bag stand up on its own yet snuggles comfortably against me when carrying it crossbody. The fully lined interior is the icing on the cake. TB, if you make this in more colors I would probably buy another one.

    My only complaint is the *#!%= squeaky crossbody strap attachment points. It was fine until the bag was fully loaded and then started squeaking with every step. This is my 2nd squeaky TB bag and it’s beyond irritating. I hope I can find a way to fix it because it might be my favorite TB bag otherwise.
