Done and done. :)

I actually have a Guide's Pack. It's a little too "loud" for the office environment. The all black look would have been more appropriate for business travel and trips to the office. :)

I should have ordered it when I had the chance... :(

I roll a small hand towel (sometimes even some clean socks) and put it at the bottom of the cache. Piece of cake.

The SA is basically a bucket on your back. I love the lack of structure. I can put in whatever I want, such as kids' sweaters, snacks, packing cubes, or whatevs. The SA isn't the most eye pleasing...

I have both. I would recommend the S25 for school. The Brain Bag is huge. Unless you need to carry your entire semester of books all at once, I would just get the S25. Good luck!

I keep coming back to this backpack. I love the top loading design because it lowers the risk of things just falling out if something wasn't fully zipped. I also love the side pockets for quick...

The SA is my favorite TB bag. If there’s an all ballistic reboot, count me in too.

I couldn’t believe the A45 fit in the overhead bin on the CRJ900 plane. Most people with rollerboards had to gate check their stuff, I just walked right in and there were no issues fitting the bag...

I've tried all TB backpacks, and the SA is also my favorite. My only regret is not buying a halcyon version. The SA made me realize how much I love top loading/bucket style bags. Add me to the list...

Not my blog, but I got the S19 for my brother :). See the blog post and more pictures here:

I usually carry books in the front portion of the BB and the snake charmer sits nicely on top of the books. It would be nice to suspend it if there wen't enough books though... :)

With the announcement of the new material, all of my desires for black dyneema are completely gone.

This is what kills me. I have 5 these items and feel like I need to upgrade. :D

I'm hoping the Brain Bag comes in the new parapack material (and cordura is retired)!

The gloves were great.

I noticed that too. I waited too long to order the steel dyneema for the SCB. :(

If you have a sweaty water bottle in those side pockets, you'll appreciate those little holes at the bottom of the bag. :D

One more small stop for the LCB. The dyneema material kept my stuff dry during on and off rain. The LCB makes an excellent diaper and camera bag. :)

A few shots to share.

You'll find that Japan has delicious food. Many people think it is all fish/sushi type food, but there are excellent chicken, pork, and beef dishes that are fantastic. Some of the best Italian...

The only thing I don't like about using the WF as a briefcase is the single handle on the top. I wish it had the dual padded handles like the Empire Builder or Tristar. I usually would carry a laptop...

I have both. I use the BB the most. The best thing about the BB is that you can cinch down the sides. If it's just carrying a laptop, you can really squish the bag down and have a slim profile. The...

The brain bag is my most abused TB bag. It's truly a workhorse. It'll be perfect for travel with heavy equipment plus extras.

I have a linen bag and it does get dirty. I usually throw mine around I. The car and it tends to pick up dirt. There's a small stain that I haven't bothered to get out yet. Black will also pick up...
