What Goes Into A Tom Bihn Backpack?

Perfect size for cords and miscellaneous stuff. Would like to see more bright colors in these.
It is a perfect size to hold all of the random cables and bricks I need, but the flexibility of the fabric and low level of organization means that I can keep it anything I need to in there. I like using smaller pouches to organize further sometimes. It isn’t a highly opinionated piece, which makes it great for this use.
I spent a good bit of time researching tech pouches to use for my EDC cables. I finally settled on the small snake charmer, and couldn’t be happier. My initial hesitation was that it would be too small, but my core cables - an Anker 747 power brick, 1 USB-C to USB-C cable, 2 USB-C to Lightning cables, and a small USB-C hub - fit perfectly in one side (see picture). The other side stores an HDMI cable, Ethernet cable, some spare USB-A cables, and a few very small knickknacks (which will soon be organized in a TB pouch) with no issues.
As I’ve come to expect from anything TB, there’s clearly a lot of thought that went into the design. The SC lives in my Synik 30, originally in the chin pocket but now in the main compartment where the attached clip lets it hang from an O-ring.
I’ll note since this was part of my dilemma in choosing a tech pouch, it works great with my setup and might have worked with the old-school power brick that came with my Dell laptop, though it would’ve taken up a full side. I believe the large SC would’ve worked well with that setup, though.
Highly recommend, and looking forward to years of use.
I bought this for my son, and he loves it. He's using it to corral his small frequently-needed items in his S22. He likes being able to separate things by category and see what's in both sides. He also loves the olive Cordura fabric. For the price, it's hard to beat a bag that has so many potential uses!
i’m it guy and I carry a lot of random cables with me because I haven’t constantly having to plug random things into other random things. This thing holds every single cable and with the size of it the cables tend to just sort of stay, fold it up even when I just stuffed them in the bag. I love all the straps on all the sides of the bag. It makes it so that I can conveniently put this bag on one side of my bag and the other bag that I have right next to it and it just sort of fills in the space in the bag perfectly. I’m able to keep every cable I need plus external hard drive plus a docking station. It’s bananas. I highly recommend it and I also recommend the small size. It’s basically perfect for someone that carries a ton of cables and would be for someone that carried a few as well.
