My wife bought me the Copilot with the upgraded strap as a Father's Day gift in prep for our recent jaunt through Italy. I have to say, I was blow away with the bag's design and quality. I used it in two ways- as a cabin bag and as my in-town bag through Tuscany, Venice, Siena, and Dublin.
I packed it differently for each. As a cabin bag, I packed it in my "24 hours of airline errors" mode - a Bug Out bag in the event I get stuck or my luggage gets lost. As my walking around bag, the emphasis is on in-town EDC needs and prevention of pickpockets.
First thing I did was put on the included zipper pulls and throw a small carabiner on the grab handle. Clipping all the pulls into the carabiner keeps unwanted hands outta my bag. Then, I pulled the pad off the shoulder strap - way too hot in the Italian summer and I like being able to slide the bag from small of the back to the side to the front in crowds or tight sidewalks in places like Florence and on trains.
Now for the "I can't believe it all fits" parts....
Plane Mode:
Back Pocket - empty for the trolley pass-through
Main - 10" Samsung tablet, pair of socks, underwear, t-shirt, shorts, large USB power bank, Columbia ultralight rain jacket, spare sunglasses
Left- Small USB power bank w/ cables, Bluetooth earbuds in case, inflatable travel pillow, Earpeace earplugs, snack bars, gum, pad, pens
Center- Toiletries in a clear zip tube (I used a cosmetics brush bag), followed UK rules
Right- Passport, boarding docs, phone,…

Versatile bag that holds much more than expected. Comfortable strap, high quality workmanship and materials, smooth and sturdy zippers. Front pocket for water bottle is amazing (I want this is all of my bags now). It could alternatively hold a pair of sandals or a Tom Bihn Vertical Packing Cubelet.

- ASAlvaro S.Verified BuyerReviewingCo-PilotI recommend this productBought For MyselfProduct Standouts Thoughtful Design, Comfortable, Sewn in USA, Easily Adjustable, CompactRated 5 out of 5 stars3 years agoI love this bag and see below for the reasons.
A little backstory. I purchased the orange colorway December 2021 and used for about a year, until I spilled oil on it and then had to get the constellation colorway (December 2022). The following applies to both Co-Pilots, but the blue one was by far better. See the cons below why.
1. The bag is compact enough to not be a burden to carry.
2. It fits my Chromebook x2 11, Kobo Libra 2, various EDC (external batteries), and Switch Lite very well for long days I'm out doing errands.
3. The sheer amount of pockets make it oh so very wonderful for organization and segmentation. A water bottle pocket and pen organization. The front pocket is great for an external battery ready to charge any device.
4. Pairs well with my side effect to organize my small EDC items.
Cons: Like I said. I loved the orange color way but the constellation color way was flat out better for one simple reason. The ZIPPERS.
The orange colorway had some very stiff zippers that made closing them a 2 handed operation. The constellation colorway has smooth zippers that I can close one handed. I am not sure why this is, but I am grateful for the smoother zippers all over this bag.

This is my second Tom Binh bag. I wanted something to replace the backpack I have stuck under my seat for years but which left little room for my feet. The co-pilot fits the bill. Its four sections provide ample room and options for your personal level of organization. Its compact size leaves room for my feet. It carries comfortably with the Aeronaut on my back, and is built to take the abuse of travel.

I believe this was Tom Bihn's original "personal item" for air travellers and it fits the purpose perfectly for most travellers. For me, it has just the right formula of size and organization and fits easily under any airline seat, the essential requirement for a personal item. Sometimes I need just a little more capacity, in which case I switch to the TB Pilot, a slightly bigger personal item that also easily fits under any airline seat. I only wish I had bought these items earlier in my life - because they are of the highest quality and will truly last the lifetime of even the youngest traveler!
