Welcome! We're glad you are here. This is the place to ask for bag advice, help other people out, post reviews, and share photos and videos.
First, select your desired search engine:
S19, Pilot, S25, SE, NFTD, SCB, LCB, LS- in that order, all in Halcyon. Newest: Brain Bag. Oh, and some Shop Bags and Travel Cubelets. And some pouches. And a couple of Organizer Wallets. And a SSK. And some stuff sacks. And a laundry sack. But I'm not hooked on TB.
James Clear reviewed his original halcyon S19 on his blog. https://jamesclear.com/ultralight-travel
I recently stumbled on a youtube video review of Brain Bag by Chase Reeves.
The Brain Bag in the Review looked like the recent updated with 525 Ballistic Navy.
I was surprise to see how beautiful the Brain Bag with the 525 Navy. And how I wish, there is a smaller Brain Bag some day while retaining the classic design and its practicality. I wouldn't mind the smaller Brain Bag has only 1 compartment - just saying.

That Chase Reeves review is VERY thorough. He includes packing cubes, the Freudian slip, cache with rails, organizer pouches, organizer cubes, O-rings, straps, and a comparison to a few other bags. The full treatment!

Yup, I can feel that he is among us - a fan of Tom Bihn, very likely in the forum too.
You can feel his words whenever he did a review about Tom Bihn's bag. Hehe

I've noticed that the list doesn't include reviews of the Stowaway. That's a shame, as it's perfectly sized for Ryan Air's new rules on personal items. (They take effect Nov. 1, 2018.)
Here are two. The Gadgeteer review is quite thorough; the Carryology review quite brief:

There are also these reviews in the forum:

I just discovered a YouTuber that I have followed for years recently became a Tom Bin fan. The back story involving Tom Bin himself is great and the review is more of a day-in-the-life style review. Pretty cool!

Not a review exactly, but there's some good packing tips in this video and it features our Packing Cubes and the Aeronaut 45:
Have a question? @Darcy (to make sure I see it)
Current carry: testing new potential materials in the form of Original Large Shop Bags.
I wrote a bit about how I'm using and really enjoying the Daylight Briefcase:

It's honestly way better and more versatile than I had originally expected.
I have a Daylight Backpack on the way which I'm excited to try out as well.
Hi, stumbled on this review - feel free to delete or whoosh if it's been seen here before:

I feel like I should note, though I'm sure it's referenced already, that Chase Reeves' Synapse 25 review is what led me down this rabbithole.
Great tips!
