Darcy do you know about how long orders are taking to get to their destinations these days? My mask head strap was last scanned in LA on Dec 30, no tracking since then.
Edited to add: I’m not in a...

I love all the green and/or arboreal colors TB have come out with lately!

I can’t wait to see Le Grande Derrière, what a name! [emoji1787][emoji1787][emoji1787]

Taika Waititi is a film director from New Zealand. I have only seen his great film Hunt for the Wilderpeople,...

Great review Willowbreeze! You’ve just made me hungry though [emoji1787]

I asked about ironing the V6 somewhere, and Darcy recommended against it. Glad you’ve got a Sharpie-based alternative. Numbering them is a clever idea!

Thanks Darcy! Lovely to get some a happy little shooting star of news during lockdown. Is the Paragon the same as the Insigne? The preview drawings are adorable.

I can’t wait to see Taiga, your...

I can’t say I’ve done cardio with my V6 but it is my favorite mask. It is the most breatheable by far. I’ve had other masks get clammy but not this one. I say the V6 would be a pretty good bet for...

Oooh I just went to the Smartwool site to check these out and the glove liners have touchscreen conductive thread on the thumb and at least one fingertip. Nice!

I have had this happen once with a 5/8” shoulder strap, when a strong preschooler grabbed my bag and pulled on it. Dislocated the ball and socket joint on the swivel clip completely!

I cannot...

I really enjoy the challenge of giving a present that is amazing but doesn’t cost a lot, because among my friends we have an informal price cap. I’m a practical person and I always choose presents...

The last time I checked (a while ago) you needed to pay $5 in order to post photos in the forums in the way that you would need to (you’re asked to include photos to sell stuff in the TB group). Of...

Thanks for the clarification! I just wanted to ask in case the idea of an invitation-only group put anyone off or made it seem like an insiders-only group. Right now they seem to have a good balance...

Could someone clarify for me please what “invite only” means for a Facebook group? I thought the TB BST group was a closed group, meaning you have to click a Join button and maybe answer questions...

I’m so sorry for your loss.

I agree that the Tom Bihn BST & Discussion group on Facebook would be the easiest way as you only need to make one big post instead of going through over a dozen...

I have no idea how it works, sorry! Darcy can you share anything about the development of the V6 and how you figured out how to make it more breathable with more inner layers?




It has only...

Hi Darcy,

The V6 certainly feels much more breathable! In my experience the V6 does not leave my face feeling damp as I walk outside. I remember wondering if the mask was on properly because it...

I’m so delighted that you have announced the V6 because I want to talk about it! I have been washing and reusing the V6 for a couple of weeks now and I have to say, the V6 is my favorite because:
...

I might also suggest the Shadow Guide 23 or 33 as I find they hold much more than you’d think, and they’re really versatile for everyday/non-travel use. For a big black hole bag like those though, I...

Great review bartleby! I too had not considered using my longer packing cubes. Thanks for the idea.

Hoping to see a PCSB-sized Side Kick in 2021. It would be the perfect companion bag-in-bag for the SG23 (or SG33) top pocket!

Loved reading your first impressions, G42

I get about 18” in length for the SG33 compared to about 16” for the SG23.

I can’t wait to find out what you think as you use the SG 23 and take it...

As b1gsky pointed out in the thread of my review post, there is a great review out there that discusses the Smart Alec extensively and with lots of photos. I don’t have a SA so I can’t help...

Here is the SG23 on its first trip out, appreciating the view of the English countryside:

I think it would be lovely to have your review here as well, bchaplin, though you might want to add a line saying it’s from the Tom Bihn BST & Discussion Facebook Page to avoid confusion.

Thank you very much for the link! I had forgotten that there was a Smart Alec in there, which is a relief since I don’t have a SA. It’s a fantastic review.
