I agree with bartleby's overall assessment. The 6L difference in volume is noticeable.

I have both Aeronauts, both Techonauts, and the RB36. The A30 was my first TB love and I still really really like this bag and it's my goto for most travel, as I like living out of it. Having the two...

I haven't seen one in person but the first photo on the product page in the carousel of photos shows the back pocket; it's basically like the Cafe Bags... I attached a screen shot...

Someone asked in the recent blog post Q&A about the PU and the TB answer was: "...Not in the works currently but potentially next year"

There are always a few extra bags from a pre-order, due to cancellations, returns, etc.

Make sure you're signed up for the newsletter and watch these Forums and the blog for notice of when they'll be available. Sometimes we only get a days notice and rare items may sell out instantly. Black...

Check out the Daylight Briefcase... yes, it's much bigger than a SK, but more organization than a PCSB, and it has great quick access. Ballistic will give it stiffness/structure or go for Halcyon for flexibility.

I personally don't mind the handles on the DLBC, but you could always cut...

bchaplin My A45 and T45 are my least used large bags for travel as i feel they're pretty big for me at 5'4". I usually only take one when I'm carrying an unusually large amount of stuff flying. Usually I think having the capacity divvied up into two bags is more flexible.
With that being...

This restock has Q-kits and if you haven't tried them, they're neat:

1050 ballistic Navy is deeper than Deep Blue somehow...I remember folks discussing it when the 525's first came out. It's partly the sheen/appearance difference from the different materials. Whilst I like Deep Blue, I think Navy is even nicer FWIW.
I do have a 36L Road Buddy from the last run...

Agree with Shortie ... Only caveat is that it is a pretty big capacity, so it can get heavy if you're carrying gold bars

The CoPilot fits in both directions in the center pocket... Sorry about the poor lighting

If you haven't noticed, the TriStar colours in production have been updated.... if you haven't heard already, there's an old friend back in town

Tonya yep, Jennifer Ackerman! I love her writing and I really enjoy good nature writers. Bernd Heinrich is another good one!

The bottle fits in the front divided pocket but better in the main. I've only put it in the front when the main contained mostly soft flexible things.

The DLBC fits into other travel bags flat or rolled and makes a good minimalist laptop bag for the work day and then a great walking around...

Welcome to the Forums EJNL 😊

Yep, the horde of Gatekeeper clips make the pockets secure and structured but they can be a pain to take on and off.

There are some knacks that help...

When I use the DLBC (400d Halcyon), I often have a magazine or book or Kindle in the back zip pocket or inner flap pocket. My Kindle in case can also fit in the front diagonal zip pocket.
The main space usually has an E/T Cubelet that moves bag to bag.
A 16oz Nalgene bottle can fit upright...

Not Darcy... But basically, when the software for the Forums was upgraded, the links were broken... So we manually edit some as we find them but there doesn't seem to be an automated solution right now.

The web crawlers from the various search engines (ie, Google and such) have indexed...

FWIW, I believe TB knows how much 400d works for some of us and that they're going to do all they can to find a solution.... fingers crossed!...

That actually means you should just hold out... Because one may come up at some point and then you'd be ready.

I really like original white grid Nordic, (which was long gone by the time I found TB) and over time managed to get the Copilot, Pilot, Western Flyer and Shop Bag... Some were...

I have black on my NW... I'd be more tempted by grey or a lavender/purple with a lot of black in it, like the Dawn, than the Coyote... But it depends on what mood you want

[G42]

Surrealle I'll just say that I know what you mean...
I partly think of it as 'renting'... If I get a bag and don't ever end up using it, it does hold it's value pretty well, so I'm out the opportunity cost of the money, maybe a little value, and the fuss of selling...
But it has worked...
