I. CAN'T. WAIT!
Thank you Darcy, you make us drool
just a Bihnion here
Really hoping for an early summer debut so that I can maybe snag one before moving abroad in late August...do we know what kind of materials it's going to primarily be? I'm assuming 525d ballistic exterior/halcyon interior?
Have a question? @Darcy (to make sure I see it)
Current carry: testing new potential materials in the form of Original Large Shop Bags.
Good to know, thanks! I have one last question-when you say that it'll have a laptop compartment, do you mean a space like in the Pilot that can accommodate a Cache, or something more like the Synik's integrated pocket? It seems like the Synik's laptop pocket is fairly popular, do you guys have any plans to incorporate that into future designs?
"internal zip away dividers" - similar to the one on the WF? Could one theoretically then make one large space out of the Trinity should one so desire? Or have 2 vs 3 compartments?
Something like that would be very intriguing...it might make me move away from my WF - my all time favorite TB bag!
More like the Synik's integrated pocket... although, depending on which laptop and which size of Trinity, you could fit a probably fit a laptop in Cache in there if you really wanted to (though it wouldn't be necessary at all necessary.)
I do think you'll see more designs with integrated laptop compartments, but we'll also continue to offer the Cache for those who prefer that system.
Feel free to ask more questions if they come up.
It'll be like the divider that's in the front-most compartment of the WF and Tri-Star, but in the Trinity, it may be in that front compartment, the back compartment, or both. You wouldn't be able to make one large space out of the Trinity or make it into a two-compartment bag, though.

I thought it was a duffel.

Totally agree! That said, for me, for now I'm going with the 2 Western Flyer travel duo because ....
[hopefully the rest of this post isn't controversial for anyone so disclaimer: we all carry differently, have different style / tastes, etc]
The newest bags since the Hero's Journey haven't hit the mark with me (HJ, Stowaway, Synik, Icon); all for different reasons, although thematically, for me, they all trended away from my preference for office-ready simple-is-best (and many times into whimsy). A great example is the S25 which I think is darn-near the perfect day pack: some built in org - not too much, good number of various sized pockets, great design that can be lightly packed or stuffed, etc. For me, the S30 throws off the dimensions/look & daypack design, so it doesn't work for me (but that's me! I'm sure many will say the S25 is 1 bag travel pack, just not for me as a 2-bag travel person). For me the A30/45, WF, TS, BB are core classics that I hope stick around for a long time to come!
So, while I'm super hopeful the Trinity will be my favorite, I already love the WF enough to commit! (but reserve the right to change me mind any time)

Clever @backpack ! I almost revealed the color. To answer your question: it depends on when the Trinity debuts and when that new color arrives.
It's still too early to say. I will share that in all of our tests, the removable/swappable straps are just as comfortable as the sewn-in variety, and removable of course offers more options to the user.
To be honest, when we're in the midst of a major design (or major design(s) as is the case right now) the complimentary and optional organizational items (while they do occur to us) can fall outside the focus we're putting on completing, testing, and reflecting on the major design. So.... thanks for reminding us about a Freudian Slip for the Trinity! If there's an existing size of Freudian Slip that works well with some sizes of Trinity, we're likely to suggest folks use that one instead of making a new size... that way, anyone who already owns that Freudian Slip can use that one instead of buying a new one. And if there isn't an existing size that works well, we'll make a new one.
