After using other backpacks, there was a gap in my needs which was needing a backpack that was reliable, durable, comfortable, and one that could also hold all my tech (bulky laptop, iPad, CPAP, kindle, phone, travel fan..). After doing much research, I went with the Bixi, which is my first Tom Bihn backpack! I'm SO happy I went that route, because it is truly perfect for my needs!

The design is great for when I want my laptop in the back, and a whole compartment for grocery shopping.

First off, I can confirm it fits easily under Delta and Southwest seats as long as you remove any water bottle from the side. I know this is a concern for lots of people and it was a buying point for me as I wanted something to use in addition to my rolling carry on. If you don’t remove the water bottle from the side sleeve when placing it under the seat it can catch on the seat railing. Hydro flask 24oz bottle is what I’m using FYI. Bag has loads of storage. I bought the Tom Bihn standard spiff kit to use as my seat back flight bag (chargers, dude wipes, medicine, etc) and stash it in the outer flap area. Snake charmer bag for cpap, and smaller storage bags for passports, tissues, chapsticks etc. After 3 trips including an international
Flight, I’m pretty pleased with how it’s working.
- GCGabriel C.Verified BuyerBought For MyselfProduct Standouts Thoughtful Design, High Quality Craftsmanship, Comfortable, Good Storage Size, Versatile1 month agoBought For MyselfProduct Standouts Thoughtful Design, High Quality Craftsmanship, Comfortable, Good Storage Size, VersatileRated 5 out of 5 starsPerfect personal/carry-on
I use this as a weekend travel backpack and as a personal/carry-on. My favorite part about this bag is that it has a side handle and the volume is more accessible.
I also have a Synik 30, which is perfect in its own way. But if I have to fly and I only want one backpack as a carry-on, I think this is better, which can fit under the seat with a little bit of protrusion. Whereas I like the Synik 30 more as a personal item separate from a carry-on.

Friend of mine who has had your bags for decades, recommended your brand to me. I I have one bag already that I use daily and it’s been working out great. I use this because I needed a personal carry-on for air travel. The morning we were leaving I was packing the bag. The rear section does not have zippers. It has string pull tabs. I closed each one separately and the rubber piece broke off of each of them before I could get the zipper closed. For the return trip, I found some extras in the bag and put them in place. We’ll see how they work out. The only other thing I would say about the bag is that it could use some outer pockets. Otherwise there’s a lot about the bag that I do like.
TBTOM BIHN3 months agoThank you for the review, and I'm sorry those pulls broke on you! We got a bad batch of them where the strings hadn't been anchored in the plastic part deep enough. We thought we had caught all of the bad ones, and I'm really sorry your bag slipped through. I'll be very happy to send you some replacements - I'll be in touch via email directly. =)
