2020 Wish List

Spacer mesh would be the perfect addition to the Luminary. I sold mine because it was too hot for even mild summer temps. I've been looking for a replacement but no one makes anything quite like it.

I’m intensely curious to see the icon in Ursa/Coyote Halcyon, with coyote zipper.

I wish the Icon zipper was on top. I’ve had bags with the not-on-the-top zipper and reaching into the bag always bothered me.

My second and last wish is for a waist pack like the Side Effect but smaller, something with the mindset of the PIKA but can be worn around the waist. Would love to see a padded section for your phone and some organization pockets for a wallet. Of course, o-rings for a key strap! Sort of a minimally-sized waist pack for your phone/wallet/keys where things don't jumble around and your phone is protected.

Tom Bihn seems to be missing this product segment, I think we have amazing options for travel (where you need more volume to pack clothing) as well as options for day use (where you might just have a jacket, book, phone/keys/wallet, and a water bottle) but nothing great for a minimalist take on the work bag. I bike to work and my pack consists of laptop, gym clothes, phone/wallet/keys -- I keep it minimal to faciliate cycling. On the other hand, when I'm out and about I don't always need my Luminary, usually I am just wishing I didn't have to cram my phone/wallet/keys into my pockets.

Have you considered the HLT for this purpose? There are a couple pictures of it being used as a waist pack on the product page.

Hi TB crew! I would like to put in a plea for reflective details. Where I live it is very dark in winter and I'm often out cycling or walking in the dark with my TB bag. I've had to attach reflective things to my bags and they are not as nice as if they were integrated.

So: perhaps reflective tabs? Reflective zipper pulls? Reflective labels? Straps with reflective edges? All of these would be appreciated.

Ben just ordered a small quantity of a reflective zipper pull that we happen to love. The pull itself feels great: just a nice, natural curve to it. They're small, but it's a start.... will share photos + details when they arrive!

Back when GWOPs were introduced, there was a possibility of making their color-choice system available for other organizer pouches. I wish for that! (Clicks heels together three times)

Because I enjoy color coding my organizers, so I don't need more in the same colors, but it would be amazing to have them in the new colors. New colors!

How great, thank you so much.

I’m repeating my wish for an Original Halcyon Travel Cubelet, before the fabric is gone for good. Pretty please?

How about a mushroom foraging bag made of mesh (assist spore release) and halcyon with a few pockets for knife, collection bags, and what not.

I wish that all in production bags can be treated like pre orders.

So many times you wait for an in production bag to come in stock and then other things you wanted go out of stock. When you’re paying 65 dollars for postage that’s pretty steep to have to make two orders. It would be fantastic if you could do things like pre orders are done. Buy the things then have everything ship at once. I’d also bet people would buy more because they have more time to think about what to add to their orders [emoji23]

Oh man, I was JUST thinking about that today. There are a few things that I plan to buy, but most of them are in production. So unless I get ridiculously lucky and they're both restocked the same day, it's going to be at least 2 separate orders for me.

I'm coming at this from the perspective of someone who travels in random countries....

I would love an essentials purse (wallet, phone, chapstick, passport, etc.) that has a very flat shape for travel. (I guess I want the much-flatter child of the Travel Cubelet. Maybe if the TC and Passport Pouch had a baby?) It can be smaller than the TC, but it mostly needs to be flatter. The TC holds its shape, even in Halcyon. It would be great for my essentials purse to be able to be under my clothing, with a cross body strap, if I feel the situation necessitates it.

Aside from travel, I think the TC (or something small like it) would just be more comfortable with a flatter design that hugs the body more. It's actually what I love about the PCSB with attachment points on each side.

Wouldn't the P.I.K.A. do the trick ? It's flat and can hold a passeport, minimal wallet, phone and likely chapstick
as minimal carry I use the cubelet, it's cute and minimal (my phone fits barely but it's ok)
also 3D pouches are small enough and big enough for minimal (travel) carry

At least for me, both every day and for travel, I really want zippers on each compartment. I never considered the PIKA for that reason -- and it's not really minimal enough with the fancy inner lining. I've seen videos of the older Passport Pouch with a zipper. If that was just large enough to fit a phone (w/ passport and tiny wallet,) it'd be more along the lines of what I'm looking for. Super minimalist essentials purse.

I'll always second this! <3

Tritto. I thought I was retired from buying LCBs but the thought of Wilderness/UV, Ursa/Solaris, Nebulous/Sitka... oh dear
