It's actually a good compartment for a Kindle or iPad or anything you want to keep relatively flat and separated, like papers
And if you don't use it, you don't notice it's there...

Definitely want to see this pack up, and before/after evaluation 🙂...

I assumed it was because a Canary is a bird and can fly ...

Totally fine, that's why we're here!...

Welcome to the Forums!

What bag did you get? And what colours of course!

Yes, the plastic parts are for zipper pulls, if you'd like to use them.

This video shows how to use them and also other ways to use paracord as pullls.

Back when the Syniks were released, TB put out this blog FAQ post with lots of info about the two new Syniks

https://www.tombihn.com/blogs/main/synik-faq

In that FAQ, there's a section on what cubes/accessories fit

I have an HP Elitebook for work that looks like it's pretty much the same size and it's just a bit too long to make the turn to fit into the back padded pocket. You can always check with the folks in Customer Service too.

It does fit (without a case) almost perfectly between the back wall...

I believe that Darcy will be posting a blog update within a few weeks with some status updates overall, including on materials - hopefully she will answer your question there or here. I love the original halcyon too ...

The pre-orders will ship Late July and Darcy has said in a couple places that it won't be earlier than that. If you ordered anything from that pre-order, it has the 'ships late July' as part of the name of any items you ordered.
HTH...

Welcome to the Forums epeterson

The Empire Builder was discontinued, so your only options are on the secondary market (Craigslist, eBay, and such). There's also an unofficial Buy/Sell/Trade enthusiast group on Facebook. There's also trading/selling/ISO on the Ravelry site, in the TB subgroup.

These Forums aren't set...

Hi there and welcome!
The Forums recently updated because the old version of the software wasn't being supported... Unfortunately it caused the post numbering to get wonky so many of the internal links aren't working. If you try searching with the information you see in the post, the user name,...

What a wonderfully evocative saying - I'm going to borrow that phrase! ...

I can't tell from your photo exactly where those holes are on the bag. Most of the bags have a couple tiny holes (depends on the design) that TB uses as locators when doing the complicated sewing construction.

I suggest you take a couple more photos showing where those are located and...

Any hope for a redesigned/updated/Design Lab/alt version of the NFTD that avoids the specialty foam issue?...

[G42]

I like the end pockets in the NFTD, so a baby Aeronaut would need those in addition to a sling or backpacks straps for me...

[G42]

The PickUp Truck (also disco'd) and Pop Tote would be my first choices if I wanted the bag to stand up on it's own for that type of carry.
Also, if you didn't catch the update, the Yeomans will be a pre-order at some in the next few months, when they get an open production spot...and will be...

I haven't bought or used this, but perhaps they could work at the top grab handle to the fin straps

in general, I was googling around 'backpack bungee net' or 'backpack cargo net' thinking that some sort of thing like that...

You could check around for actual rain covers that fit messenger bags... when I used to foot commute with a backpack for several miles and misjudged the weather or forgot an umbrella, I had something similar to one of these

The frame sheet is worth trying to see if you like it (with the same return caveats....).
I don't use one in my Brain Bag because I tend to carry two laptops and they provide the rigidity I like... but I have three S19s and two have frame sheets in them - I really like the feel when I'm carrying...
