    I like Moab too, very calm colour.

    Things may have changed, but they're theoretically keeping Island and Northwest Sky Halcyon and rotating in other colours.

    Updates & What's Next

    Our dedication to spontaneity and nimbleness as a small and creative business, combined with continued worldwide supply chain issues and port delays, has meant that it's been a little more difficult to keep everyone as updated as we'd like. That said, here's a long-promised update on the remainder of 2021 and the very


    "200d Halcyon Going forward, our plan is for Northwest Sky and Island to be continually available colors. All other colors have the potential to rotate: that’s a way we can offer a wider variety of colors and give more folks a chance at ordering their favorite color. Continually Available:
    Northwest Sky
    Island"

      I like the earthy colors - coyote, taiga, moab, northwest sky. The brights, not so much. It'll be fun to see the new Halcyon colors coming.

        I pretty much like all of them! I find that I have all the earth tone accessories to match up with specific bags/interiors and then a separate set for when I need some bright happy colours.

        My current assumption is that Coyote halcyon is probably gone... It hasn't been in much for quite a while. It made it into the VPC back in January and there were a few other accessories floating around for a bit.
        ETA: it's showing In Production for the Spiff Kit but I don't know if that's real

        Moab had likewise been diminishing.
        I like both versions of Taiga, but they don't seem as popular as other colours. Hopefully you know that the 400d factory closed so the last of it is running out...you'd have to ask if all the 200d has been converted to inventory or if there's still a supply.

          Aww, you think coyote is on the way out too? Yep, I knew the 400d factory closed and what's available is the last of what there is. I really don't have any purchases in mind at the moment, but I'd snag a Paragon if the right color combo popped up (ursa outside, taiga inside).

            You'd have to check with the fine folks in Customer Service to be sure, but from what I've seen, Coyote is either mostly gone or maybe it's just taking a vacation from rotation.

            My Paragon (review bag courtesy of TB) is Taiga/Taiga and I really like that warm golden tone on tone together!
            I was a bit bummed that when I bought the Paramour and Paradigms in Taiga, interior NWSky was the only option; it's not bad, it's just the two Taigas together is very appealing. I definitely don't think the photos capture the vibe. Both Taigas go well with Coyote and Wasabi to me too... late summer grassland or the desert thing going on there.

              I have a Synapse 19 in taiga/northwest sky and love it very much. The taiga/taiga Paragon is very tempting... but I don't really NEED another backpack. I do love browns and greens together, though, so I'll wait and see, and if ursa b. and taiga ever show up, I'll consider it a "sign" and snap it right up.

                  Is Verde here to stay or is this a one time run through the travel bags? Will there be other liner options in the near future? I am thinking of going in for T30, but it is really not a convenient time to free up $400.

                    TL/DR: 1050 not going away but not as popular

                    MikeV talked about 1050 here

                    Hey! This thread serves as a place to discuss new colors and designs recently added to the website. It's a good place to ask if new colors are coming, comment on new colors or designs we've just added, or post anything else you can think of. Unfortunately the previous iteration of this thread is not recoverable without some



                    My guess would be that they'd probably stick with NWSky because it's neutral and probably appeals to a wide customer base
                    You can always ask the fine folks in Customer Service if there's anything on the horizon, but since it just restocked, I doubt there's another batch in the next window of time

                      I know 1050 isn't going anywhere, but Verde seems to be in a different category. BO 1050 has restocked on travel bags several times in the past 2 years, but I've only seen Verde appear on road buddies, yeomans, and pocket pouches. I always assumed verde and aubergine were in that category of 'gone because fewer color options will be available for 1050'

                        Since black is by far the overall most popular colour per TB and the lighter fabrics are more popular than 1050, I assume that they are only rotating in one or maybe two of the other 1050's at a time, depending on what is popular per bag, and most likely with the interior that sells the best. Navy isn't around much either.

                        Best course is to contact TB directly.
