    Cool daily bag that’s practical

    This is my first purchase from TB and so far I’m really impressed with the co-pilot bag. I was looking for something practical and at first I couldn’t tell if this bag might be too small. However just after a week of using it, it meets every detail I was looking for; practical for a daily user, comfortable, and high quality. I’ve already gotten compliments from others too. Love the bag and great craftsmanship!

    Great EDC + Photography Bag

    Perfect size, not too small and not oversized, as an EDC and travel bag. Paired with a Domke wrap and some dividers makes for a great makeshift photography bag for a mirrorless camera. Great organization for pens, notebooks, keys, and small camera accessories. Zipper doesn't close on the water bottle pocket with my everyday water bottle which is a 24oz Owala, but can easily fit a small 16oz Nalgene or squeeze in a 32oz Nalgene. Shoulder strap is very comfortable. Can also fit my 14in Macbook Pro if I choose to leave my camera at home.

    Perfect for travel

    Perfect size to augment my Techonaut 45 for biz travel. Holds glasses, wallet, headphones, notepad, tablet, food, electronics, and more and more. It's great when you need something bigger than a Side Effect

    Great Small Travel Bag

    Just used it as my personal bag/conference bag for week long business trip. Big enough to hold what I needed but not bulky. Great bag and the Spectron fabric works great for a bag this size that I didn't want a lot of structure.

    It is a 4.5 stars

    I’ll start with the missing half star: I have the bag in 420 Spectron. While I love the lighter weight, I wonder whether this bag would benefit from the thicker, perhaps slightly more rigid ballistic fabric. With the spectron fabric, the bag feels a bit lacking in structure. It also has a smell to it. Not unpleasant, just noticeable “new fabric” kind of smell. Also one curious thing: the fabric is so thin that you can see the light from the phone screen coming through. Not a negative, just fun. :-)

    Now for the remaining 4.5 stars: it is perfectly laid out. It is surprisingly spacious, easily fitting my 12.9” iPad and with plenty of room to spare. The two front pockets are just awesome. Holds a ton of stuff. The water bottle pocket is a bit short for a 20oz bottle, but one would expect that given the tiny dimension of the bag. Overall, very pleased.
