Looking forward to the v3. My v1 keeps slipping off my nose when I talk.

My partner and I (in the Toronto area) are tracking the progress of some masks we ordered.

We watched it go from Seattle, to San Francisco, to Compton then Los Angeles. Wha? I get that items will...

Yeah. I got tired of bringing my Air Boss AND a messenger/camera bag. The Synik 22 performs double duty. When I get to my destination, the compression pack, dopp kit, etc. come out. I keep a rain...

As carrot says, the Synik 22 is deceiving. When I got mine in December my GF said “You’re one-bagging it in THAT?” I then proceeded to do a test-pack and it did, indeed, fit all my stuff....

Agree 100% with homerslog about the NAFTA stuff. We shouldn’t be paying any duties on this stuff. I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again ... I really wish that TB had the USPS option on orders...

Yeah. I did the whole DE razor, fancy soaps, brushes thing a few years ago. It was fun for a bit but became a chore.

Now it’s just my Mach 3 and Cremo.

I ran a few “mock travel” shave experiments over the holidays.

I got my best result with plain old hair conditioner (and my Mach 3). Worked equally well with cold water before shower, or hot water...

Yes. For my early December Synic 22 delivery: “We’ve missed the scheduled transfer time”. This is my third consecutive delay with UPS (though not all from Tom Bihn). I wish Tom Bihn would ship via...

USPS shipping to Canada for orders over $50.

For many years I detested shaving. I went through the Edge gel goop and electric razor phase. I got tired of shelling out for expensive cartridges, so started looking at Harry’s Shave Club. That got...

Doh. I meant Synic 22. Thx.

It’s the strap attachment location on the HLT that’s concerning me. I likely would only ever wear it sling-style.

Can someone enlighten me on the two shoulder straps that can be used with the HLT? I can see one has the waist strap style clip, and the other has the hook type.

Does one perform better than the...

The addition of just a few items would likely make the 22 untenable.

I don’t usually carry a water bottle. If I do, it’s not one of the larger, tumbler types. I don’t carry a laptop or full-size...

Consider Air Transat. I’ve never done long-haul with them, but they get good reviews. Their Club Class is similar to PE.

When my 22 arrived, I had a brief spell of buyers remorse. It did seem small. However, I committed myself to making it work.

If you’re doing long-haul on Rouge, beware of economy. We did a flight...

I went through the same thing. I’m 5’11” and 160 lb. I was agonizing between the 22 and 30, and went with the 22. This is for one-bag travel and “conversion” to daypack at destination. I’ve gotten...

Placed my first TB order yesterday ... Synic 22 and a bunch of pouches. My shipping app said it had cleared customs with C.O.D charges due in Mississauga, Ontario. I thought ... “Wow. That got here...

My first TB order!

Synapse 22 Navy 420 Parapack / 210 Cloud Ballistic, Ghost Whale Super Minis in Black, Island and Cloud, and a Small Q-Kit (plus a bunch of key leashes).

That felt like an...

Did you get any more info from your meeting? I'm preparing to order on Monday but leery of ordering too many little bits.

If you really need to carry your iPad mini, then you can cross the Aer City Sling off your list.

The largest, flat item I can fit is my Field Notes notebook, at 4.75 x 7.5”. I’m sure a Kindle...

Yup. The whole camera gear thing can get very philosophical.

Bring a larger kit, and cover everything (or most things). Or, bring a minimal kit and know you may miss some shots. However, the...

Like GrussGott, I’ve gone through tons of camera bags over the years. I’m long past my full frame, heavy glass days. I’m now down to a Fuji XE-3, a couple of small primes and a mid-range zoom....

This is really helpful. Thanks for sharing. Many of us still carry actual cameras. I’m using a Fuji XE-3 with the 27mm pancake, similar in size to your Oly.

Do you wrap your 45mm lens in anything?

Add to that the 30% exchange rate.

This is why I’m seriously considering purchasing my gear when I’m in Seattle next June. I recently received an Aer City Sling. It was $75USD. The UPS brokerage sheet listed the “Total value for duty”...
