My local fabric store sells 1/6" banded stretch elastic, that is the best thing I've found in person to make an ear loop. I initially made my own V1 masks with the odd and ends of elastic I already...

A very belated V4 review. I won a pair of the V4 masks a few weeks ago, and have been testing whenever I’ve gone out (and they’ve been freshly laundered), ever since, in hopes to review in a variety...

After 10 days of oppressive hazardous smoke, I've so appreciated being able to open the windows and breathe fresh air, and spend a day working in my neglected garden.
I'm also very appreciative of...

There's another thread that there was a placement mistake made with the straps of the S19 & S25.
Details here:...

What about getting water bottle slings for the kids (at least the 3 big kids) to carry? That way each kid can drink when they feel like, and you don't have to stop, take off your pack, pour glasses,...

When I got my small SC, I was surprised how big it was and was glad I hadn't gotten the larger version. For an example of size, on flights I've used one side for electronics (including kindle...

My son has a hard case like the second one in this review, which has room for some games. Works well, is inexpensive, and fits into any bag. Inevitably on the rare occasions he takes is somewhere, it...

Lots of museums and other tourist destinations won't allow backpacks inside, so something that you can wear over a shoulder/crossbody would be best as a day bag in these circumstances. My first TB...

I made smaller versions of the travel tray out of cotton for my kids. I'll try and snap a photo later.
By being cotton they squish more, and investing in the real TB TT was a lot to spend when I...

[Edited to say I emailed directly, and this should work. Yay!]

Would this adapter/cheater D-ring work for my Large Cafe Bag from early 2016(?), just before the switch to having a clip to attach...

Double s-caribiner as yarn guide? Tell me more, please.

Yes to all that cazique wrote.

I have the Aubergine/Island A45 too, and I think it's a fabulous combo. Conpletely agree about aubergine being a nice not black and not too attention grabbing color...

I've searched for this very same unicorn - convertible backpack & over the shoulder bag. The Patagonia Lightweight Travel Tote is the closest I've found.

My mom has one that she loves for travel,...

For papers in an A45, I've slipped them (in a folder) into the pocket where the backpack straps go when you aren't using them. These are things I want to transport, but am not regularly accessing...

New Balance comes in widths and makes some hiking shoes. I just got a pair at my local wide-shoe store, and they've been great so far (with the caveat I've only worn them in urban environments).

I carry a Klean Kanteen with a loop top in my LCB, using a Nite-Ize S biner (size #3), with one side of the s-biner through and o-ring and the other side through the lid. Works great.
