It happens. I'm just sorry I didn't grab more Tidal when I had the chance!

They did have some of those low-stock shop bags in Tidal Halcyon available for a while, but let me point out that the Packing Cube Shoulder Bag in Tidal is currently available, and also there is the Trucksana in Black Ballistic Nylon with the Blackout label but with a Tidal lining. In the case of the various size Trucks, I generally find the all black interior rather stark to use. Having the Tidal Halcyon lining in the Trucksana design is a nice touch.

Could've sworn I saw Tidal listed among the small original shop bags for this morning, but guess I imagined it...bummer!

Limited quantity restocks mean there could be several, or as few as one, of the listed item. The oSSB in Tidal was probably very low quantity and the blog post was later updated with what was left...
Also, the halcyon fabric supply was constrained due to pandemic related supply chain issues, so there seems to be a lot of pent up demand for halcyon in the TB community; sorry it didn't work out this time!

Anyone who had more than one Synik notice a difference in material in the water bottle pocket? I got one from February, then saw they released an original halcyon, so I got that one, and am selling my older one (Ursa). I am noticing a difference in the material in the "mesh" part of the water bottle pocket. Just wondering if anyone else had?

Nice spotting that difference! There was a delay on the supplier-side for the mesh we typically use. Thankfully, that same supplier had an alternate mesh that was quite similar in its quality, durability, and function as the mesh we typically use, so we opted for that.

The new mesh worked out (and sewed!) well and we liked it quite a lot, but then our original mesh was restocked and we decided to stick with that just because it’s what we’ve traditionally used.

It’s time for another low quantity restock! It’ll be 10/21 at 7:00am PT. It’s been several months since the last one, so the list of items is long.

Here’s the link to the blog post with the full list of items that’ll be restocked: https://www.tombihn.com/blogs/main/lqr1021

So someone who's better with all this fabric stuff might be able to tell me if I'm right here-I have a Boreal Tough Stuff Grab Bag and a Boreal Cordura Ghost Whale. Are they two separate types of fabrics? They feel a bit different but I'm wondering if I just can't quite tell because my Ghost Whale is kind of on the smaller side. I quite like their looks/feels so I'm not complaining, just wanted to make sure I wasn't crazy when I compared them and was like "wait...are these different?"

Those are the same fabric! Just a little goof on our side and the Boreal Pouches are all called Tough Stuff now. Sorry for the confusion

Will there be another run of the co-pilot soon? Preferably BH?

would those of you who like the Recycled colors share why you like them so much?

I like the hand. Its sturdy but supple. Its got a lovely sheen which makes it look, to me anyways, a little "dressier" than a typical fabric.

I agree with sturbridge that I like the hand in the 630d recycled fabric, as well as liking the color. It has a more cloth-like feel to the weave than the Ballistic Nylon, and I’ve like the material ever since it debuted in the Icons. It’s slightly less stiff than 525d Ballistic Nylon but closer to that than 210d Ballistic Nylon. When it was first offered in the trucks and monster trucks these were the last versions to sell out. I figured that might be because several people were buying these for “rugged” purposes where they might store car tools or chains and machinery in the trucks and drag them over concrete and rough surfaces so they didn’t want anything that hinted of a less tough nature in the feel of the fabric.

if you want to try a sample of the 630d fabric (apart from asking the TB crew for a sample swatch) you can try ordering a Ghost Whale Organizer pouch in 630d. They mostly sold out in 630d early, but there’s a Super Mini GWOP still available in 630 d Nebulous Grey

Then, again, some people just like the colors and the different weave and slightly different sheen (it looks like a tighter weave)
