I'm the proud owner of a brand new Aeronaut 30, my first Tom Bihn bag, which I already love. I'll be taking it on its inaugural mini-trip this weekend, and then on a longer trip in a couple of weeks.
I want to get some small packing cubes, which would be great to have for this weekend, but are really essential for the longer trip in two weeks. And I would really prefer the Tom Bihn cubes (in either Halcyon or Aether, both of which are out of stock right now). If it's likely that either one will be in restocked within the next two weeks, I'll hold off and do without this weekend. But if it's unlikely that they'll be restocked that quickly, I guess I'll pull the trigger on another brand now so I can use them for this trip.
It looks like "2 to 12 weeks" is the standard restocking time, at least that's what it says. That's quite a range. For long-term, Bihnions, has your experience generally been toward the longer or shorter end of that range? Or does it really just depend on things we have no way of knowing?
Also, I first looked at the A30 cubes about two weeks ago, and they were out of stock then. But I don't know if it's been significantly longer than that. Has anyone been watching for these longer and is able to give me a better idea of how long they've been out of stock? I guess, if they haven't been available for more than a couple of months (and if the 2-12 weeks is accurate) that would indicate that they should be restocked soon.
Being brand new here, I'm not quite sure what to expect, so I'm looking to you veterans for some insights. Thanks!
