    It arrived to my work address TODAY - that was super fast! But I'm out on a work trip, so I'm still a couple thousand miles away from it -arrgh!


    Hopefully my trip and return flights back to CA work out so I can swooooop into the office Friday and pick up my lovely new bit of happiness
    I'll keep my fingers crossed for you!! :-)

      Our order arrived yesterday and I sent pictures off to my college-ager! He'll be home this weekend and he's pretty excited to check out the new Coyote Pilot and Dawn ZTSSB!

      (And I was pleased when I got the Pocket Pillow folded back into it's pouch!)

        My package arrived today but I want to give it the proper unboxing it deserves, so I’m waiting until I am settled somewhere (driving kids all over the place at the moment). It arrived just in time because my middle son and I are going to an NBA game Friday.

          I just got my pre-production shipment in today. A day late because UPS saw a puddle on the ground a called it a "weather delay" (seriously, absolutely no bad weather near me or surrounding me in Florida.)

          Now I need to figure out what I'm doing, because I don't need $400 worth of bags. I ordered:
          luminary 15 in deep blue/canyon,
          daylight backpack in deep blue/grass,
          pcsb in black,
          sidekick in nebulous grey/island side,
          cubelet in deep blue,
          large zip-top shop bag in black.

                Oh dear. Wish there was a Dislike button.

                  Maybe, maybe, my box will be delivered today. Fingers crossed. UPS implies that it is out for delivery, but they said that 3 days ago, too.

                    YEA!!! My shop bags finally arrived!!! Since I bought one in every color ballistic, I was surprised that the 210 ballistic in Cloud felt so much thinner and floppier than the other colors.

                      We should ask that the fabrics be labeled by date/born on, like it's fine wine - see when/how fast the aging process settles in. I have old 1050 ballistic (5yrs?) that feels more supple/less stiff than new 525 ballistic. Likewise, old 400d halcyon feels thicker than the 200d but more supple than the newer 200d.

                        Yeah, but, these zip top shop bags all came at the same time as part of the preorder batch. Cloud, and also coyote, feel thinner and softer than viridian and grass. Weird.

                        Anyway, I couldn't stand it. I put in another order today for a coyote Pilot. It's not like I'm using my aubergine Pilot every day, but I love coyote and I want to get one while they have the color.

                          I'm with you on the pre-order, but who knows when the roll of material was actually made? Gently aging in the TB racks, like fine wine, lol

                          Yeah for the Pilot!
                          I'm currently torn between getting a second A30 in Coyote or in original (white grid) black to join my Navy/NWSky - it's the bag I travel with the most...

                              I may have kind of sort of maybe ordered another S19 yesterday... because Original (white grid) Black is going away and there was an oBlack/Island sitting there all by it's lonesome...
                              Now if only TB will make a SK and TC as little siblings...

                                OK, I bit the bullet and ordered frame sheets and hip belts for our Aeronauts and I hope that I don't regret parting with my hard-earned cash (not because of quality, I'm sure of that, but just because of general grumpiness about spending money). Also, nothing else found its way into the order apart from a few parts (gatekeepers, slides, side buckle and triangle hooks). $4 worth, that I can live with :-) $45 for shipping was not so easy to swallow.

                                I shall continue my attempt to replicate the smaller stuff at home, it's working OK so far!!!
