2019 wish list

[Shortie]

I would love it if the cafe bags came with removable straps. They're great bags; I used to own an SCB and I really want an MCB. But the SCB was a little too small, the strap was a little bit too long, and the shoulder pad options were not comfortable to me so I ended up selling the bag. Since the MCB has the same strap and shoulder pad options I'm concerned I will have many of the same problems with it. A cafe bag with the standard shoulder strap or an ABS (mini or regular) would be perfect.

I would love a kids backpack that is big enough for school books but small enough for kids shoulders. And I'm with you 100% on the pink!

my 11yo is using the Smart Alec, because the S19 was just not wide enough to get a 3-ring binder in easily!.... Dragonfruit ballistic, oh my!!

Sometimes the Sprout shows up on eBay or the resale boards (Rav, FB). In the meantime - would she consider an Alphaviolet Luminary? (the 12; not the 15, I myself find the 15 too long, and I'm just five feet). Or if that's too spendy, I started lending my son an S19 for plane travel when he was 6. (got it from a Raveler so it was under retail) I like the sternum strap for kids because it keeps the shoulder straps from sliding off, even if they are long. Don't know how well the DLBP straps work on a small child.

She's currently using an REI kid's pack that's 12 litres, and it's been nearly perfect for Pre-K - they take home a plastic folder daily, which the bag is juuuuuust big enough for, width-wise (though it has plenty of SPACE otherwise) - anything less flexible is difficult.... they stopped making the pink/purple color, otherwise I'd just get the same pack in the 18L size... plus the adorableness of your kid asking for an "airplane bag"... I mean... I pretty much HAVE to buy her a TB bag, right?

I'll have her try on my DLBP and Luminary 15

and OMG DRAGONFRUIT. <3 <3

I'd been off from the Forums for sometimes.
Is there anything related to Clear Oganizer Pouch - returning in stock? Or being refreshed with the new Ballistic?

Either way, I'm still looking forward and/or wish for an All-Fabric Organizer Pouch - rather than a Clear one.

I currently still using a Navy All-Fabric and thought could use some new color and more sweat-resistance fabric like the Ballistic, perhaps?

There are the regular 1050 ballistic, 200 halcyon, and still some cordura solid material organizer pouches - in the traditional shape like the clear front OPs.

For more 3D real estate, as @Cristina mentioned, there are the fun new Ghost Whales that come in 525 and 210 ballistic.
Cubelets are in 210 and 525 ballistic and may be new since you've been around recently...
The larger 3D Organizer Cubes now also come in 210 ballistic as well as the 200 halcyon.

Have you seen the Ghost Whale pouches? They come in similar sizes to the OPs but are a but more 3D.

Cristina, you are absolutely right, this is why my 11yo is using the Smart Alec, because the S19 was just not wide enough to get a 3-ring binder in easily!

I could also be tempted by pink! Especially if they name it "dragonfruit". Dragonfruit ballistic, oh my!!

I would love a kids backpack that is big enough for school books but small enough for kids shoulders.

The L12 straps are small enough for my kids but the bag is too small to hold A4 folders. I need a big bag with small shoulder straps.

And I'm with you 100% on the pink!

I've mentioned pink and a kid's backpack before, but I'll mention it again, because my nearly-5-year-old has started asking for "an airplane bag" (that's what she calls my TB bags) for herself.

It would be amazing to get a bag that would last K-12 or at least K-5 (sizing of straps and capacity are more of an issue than durability, obviously?)... in the meantime she'll probably borrow my Aubergine DLBP or get one of her own in Red or Alphaviolet.

These days my son (now 11) takes a Smart Alec to school. Straps are still cinched down as short as they go, he's not quite 5 feet. It's a bit of overkill in the warm months, he doesn't actually need the cavernous space then, but it works well in winter so that he can stuff his binder, coat, hat, and gloves in there without struggling to make them fit. It's held up for the last couple of years far better than any of his previous packs (oh, it also did some time as his baseball bag, so it got thrown in the dirt and dangled off fences quite a bit). I've no doubt it would last him through college if he wants to keep taking it.

Riding the commuter rail every day, I'm in the land of backpacks: small, large, flat, bulky... almost everyone seems to wear one. I've noticed a lot of backpacks that are rectangular and flat, smallish, and can easily transition from backpack to hand-carry mode. They often narrow at the top, resembling a handbag. I'd really like it if Tom Bihn made something like that. The straps don't have to tuck away or do anything clever, just be unobtrusive (perhaps like the ones on the Daylight Backpack, and there should be a comfy carry handle (larger than the one on the existing TB models, perhaps even with a shoulder strap option).

Bring back the LCB!!!

But if that doesn’t happen I wouldn’t mind seeing the MB with a back pocket.

Maybe cafe-style bags with a zipper.

Small organiser pouches in 210 ballistic colours.

I carry a small OP inside my side effect and I like to match the colour to the lining of the side effect wherever possible.

Viridian and cloud, please [emoji846]

(And solar, but I don't suppose that's possible)

Will TB bring back Zest/Solar or a bright interior in Halycon? It's been on my wish list for so long!

[haraya]

I would love a Luminary 12 in Cloud/Viridian or Grass. With an O-ring in the padded back compartment.

(If this is a duplicate post, apologies! Have been having technical hiccups since yesterday.)
