1. What bag/accessories are you carrying (items + colors, pics always welcome)?

It really is a pile of bs. And ebay will almost always side with the buyer. It's always amazed me because without sellers to sell stuff there wouldn't be buyers and transactions and fees.
One piece...

Years ago I sold books on ebay. For about five years it helped supplement my income, and I made a decent amount of sales (and feedback). Then, around 2009, ebay drastically changed their rules for...

I'd love to see some newer, brighter color combinations. I'm a big fan of halcyon/halcyon bags, and would love to see more options. More island perhaps? I'd be all over an all 210 Island S19 or...

Regret
1050 ballistic Copilot. It's too small for my needs and far too rigid.
Side Effect. It's a perfect size because of portability, but doesn't fit my necessities.

When mine get dirty I soak them in a tub of cold water with a cup of vinegar and then let it air dry for a few days.

Very pretty next to that aubergine. Mars 525 was the next color I planned on, so thank you!

Totally curious if your Stowaway is Mars?

I've had my S25 for almost 7 weeks and the zippers are finally loosening up a little. It just takes time and use.

32 oz Hydro Flask water bottle with straw attachment. Over the years I've bounced between Klean Kanteen and Hydro Flask, but the new straw option is really appreciated when I'm driving or am...

I'm considering getting a SCB in the new 525, but the color is really flummoxing me. On some pics it looks just like the 1050 (that extra little sparkle) and on others it looks flat and extremely...

I have a ballistic Co-pilot that isn't doing it for me either, and I'm debating if I want to trade or sell it. I think a halcyon would work better for me just because of flexibility. Like your issues...

I never imagined fabric being a deal breaker for me, but I've found I prefer my big items in ballistic to hold shape, and small items in halcyon for flexibility. But there are a few models that both...

I jumped head first into the TB addiction, and now my bag collection (which was already rather sizable) is huge. But I've found that while before I would by purely for aesthetic reasons, after TB I...

I keep thinking I'm done, but my alphaviolet S25 is just the perfect size and fit for what I need lately. I'm trying really hard to talk myself out of ordering another one in a different color....

I dislike wasabi intensely. I think in a blue/wasabi mix I could be swayed, but it's not appealing to me. And wasabi is second only in my dislike to NWS.

I'd love it if it was more green (sitka...

This. Totally this.

So I've fallen in love with the S25, Maker's bags, and side kicks. I find myself picking up multiples of each in different colors and materials always searching for the perfect combo.

Anyone else...

I have an older SK and a new SK. At first I liked that the strap on the new one was smooth (similar to ribbon) and hugs to my side very nicely. Three weeks of using it as my edc, and I'm rather...

I've been watching ebay for some bright colors lately, and drooled HARD at all the recent listings. If only my bank account could keep up with my love of colors!
Love the bright colors of your shop...

I'm probably not going to be much help, because I love both. I have severe back and neck problems from a car accident a decade ago. It makes my bag choices even more limited. I have a halcyon 25 that...

For some reason this board won't let me post pics from my phone. I'll upload them tomorrow from the library. ☺

If it's my 20+ oz then it's in the main compartment usually because height is an issue, and if it's smaller it usually goes wherever I have room in my S19. But I do also carry around klean kanteen...

I use the Makers bag as a messenger. I have one for school related stuff (books, notebooks, tablet, and various day to day), and I also have one that I use for weekends (books, quilting supplies, and...

Thank you all for your tips and info! I'm headed back home tonight, and all the help you all provided really helped me. ;) My first flight was amazing!
