“This backpack is lightweight enough to work as an everyday bag but is spacious and packed with pockets, so it can work as a carry-on for a weekend getaway.”

“This bag’s reputation for durability, adaptability, and a low-key aesthetic, all backed by a lifetime warranty and repair program, have earned it an almost cult-like dedication among certain one-bag travelers. It all but invented the category when it was originally created. From everything we’ve seen, the people who invest in a TOM BIHN tend to love them with a vociferous passion.”

"It's the best bag for people who travel like me: you can run through the airport with it, you can hold it on your lap on overnight bus trips, you can use it as a pillow when you have to sleep on a dock, you can carry it up ten flights of stairs, and you'll look sort of professional the whole time. What a win."

“Made in Seattle, the TOM BIHN Aeronaut 30 combines a clever, compartmentalized duffel with a full backpack system for easy toting through urban old towns or exotic locales.”

"Voice of experience: It's an outstanding bag that will last for decades."

“The TOM BIHN Synik 26 is without question the best personal item backpack on the market, and I say that as someone who isn’t a fan of its uber-serious, uber-functional design.”

"In short: if Mary Poppins, Batman, and MacGyver designed a backpack together, this would be the result. I didn’t just buy a bag - I joined a lifestyle. And I’ll probably be buried with it, which is great, because it’ll fit me, a change of clothes, and a neatly folded obituary."

“The TOM BIHN Synik took a great travel bag (the Synapse) and made it even better—with top-notch organization, an ergonomic design, and added customization.”

"You can stop debating now. It’ll be the best bag you’ve ever owned."

It all but invented the category when it was originally created. From everything we’ve seen, the people who invest in a Tom Bihn tend to love them with a vociferous passion.”

“You couldn’t ask for much more in a travel backpack in terms of materials, style, design and function, comfort to carry, durability, personal-item compliance, and weather resistance.”

“Made in Seattle, the TOM BIHN Aeronaut 30 combines a clever, compartmentalized duffel with a full backpack system for easy toting through urban old towns or exotic locales.”

"TOM BIHN'S stuff just oozes durability and quality without making you look like you wish you were a soldier. Just impeccable materials and craftsmanship. Do you deserve something that is this high quality? Yes. Yes you do."
