Slug photoshoot appreciation

Post image
4 Upvotes

In an email, Tom Bihn said that during a recent photoshoot, they spotted this little critter friend. A slug cameo wasn’t on the shot list, but it felt perfectly in tune with the season: slow, curious, and enjoying the moment.

Just wanted to appreciate the slug and hope they appear in many product photos.

Looking to sell or partial trade (with cash on my end) for a truck/monster truck or other TB tote.

Essentially like new Freudian Slip. This is the larger version of the Synpase and Synik.

Make me an offer please. Located in Seattle.

Finally got my Synik 26 delivered in India 🇮🇳

67 Upvotes

Discovered Tom Bihn through r/BuyItForLife a little over a year back. Spent the whole year looking for something similar available locally (India), but couldn’t find anything that matched up.

Finally pulled the trigger last Friday. I initially ordered the Synik 30 by mistake and realized within a couple of hours that I actually wanted the 26. That gave me the chance to interact with the famed customer service.

Sent an email first and waited about 30 minutes, but noticed my order status had already updated to Ready for Shipping. Decided to call in. The rep was super friendly, quick, and courteous. He cancelled the Synik 30 order on the spot and sent me a new payment link for the 26. Because of this swap, the order shipped on Monday instead of Friday, but it still got delivered by Friday afternoon.

Only downside was the ~27% customs duty and taxes, but honestly, worth it.

(Pic attached: my brand new Synik 26 🖤)

3rd party pouches?

Post image
11 Upvotes

Don't see many threads on this and hopefully not a taboo subject ( lol ) but does anyone use 3rd party pouches with the d rings?

Especially because most at TB are "mystery" other than a couple options.

I've seen a few 3rd party ( see example ) I like but would have to leverage a mini carabiner or something to make it work.

Thanks.

Pilot depth vs Co-pilot , plus laptop size

3 Upvotes

I'm looking for a new EDC work bag and I'm liking (not loving) my new to me Co-pilot.

This is for train commutes with 30 minutes of walking. Don't care about planes or traveling with other luggage.

Typical load would be a small lunch, 14 inch ThinkPad, ouch pouch and maybe packable jacket.

Is the Pilot the same depth (smallest dimension) as the Co-pilot?

HLT1 and Co-Pilot?

4 Upvotes

Hi everyone. I'm about to pull the trigger on a Co-Pilot, and I'm trying to decide on a vertical cubelet or the Hand Little Thing 1. Do either of these fit comfortably in the front right pocket? Anyone use the accessories with the co-pilot and have some feedback? Thanks!

Bag is in new condition from a smoke free home. Bag is a little too large for me and I already removed the tags before realizing this so I can't return it. It was just purchased on 7/31. Includes unused zipper pulls, sternum strap, waist strap, and key leash.

Looking for $315 shipped in the US.

What are some annoyances you’ve experienced? Are there particular items you want to store in it but don’t fit well?

What do you love about it?

Do the nylon-covered back panels make you sweat more than ‘Air Mesh’?

2 Upvotes

I’ve never owned or tried a Tom Bihn backpack, but have my eyes on a couple of models with the nylon-covered back panels.

To those who’ve tried or own them, can you say if they trap heat and sweat noticeably more than the ‘Air Mesh’ panels commonly found on many backpacks?

[WTS] Tom Bihn Luminary 15

2 Upvotes

Hi r/tombihn,

Timestamps first. Looking to sell this gorgeous Tom Bihn Luminary 15 I purchased directly from Tom Bihn in 2021, in Deep Blue 525 Ballistic/Cloud 210 Ballistic. Minor scuffs in front due to use, but still excellent condition otherwise. Bag was used for work only for a few months, but I ended up needing something larger than 15L, so it hasn’t been used since and has mostly been sitting in my closet. Hoping to find it a home that will actually use it more.

It comes with a safety whistle installed on the sternum strap, but I can swap to a regular black buckle if desired. Will also include extra zipper pulls.

Looking for $150 shipped. Open to discount only for local pickup in Orange County, CA.

I can provide additional photos upon request. Thanks for looking!

Purchased on here eight months ago and never used. It's just too similar to the Western Flyer, which I already have. Selling it for $200 PayPal goods and services, free shipping to USA.

Comes with standard strap. Gray and solar yellow on the inside. Good condition, old style with the more water-repellant, Aquaguard zippers. About 10 years old. Some staining from a packing cube (no odor or anything, purely cosmetic) in the first large pocket and on the underside of the shoulder strap, as pictured.
