Hi everyone. I have a Samsung Galaxy Note 4 phone. My phone died. Or not. I seem to have somewhat revived it after monkeying with it for a couple hours this morning. It didn't fall, it is perfectly...

Even though it is a work day, I'm not around a lot of students today since I REALLY REALLY need to be working on writing an article....

So I decided to re-wear the Ibex Sol Tee I wore yesterday....

All the things people have said.

And maybe also: a waterproof or water-resistant or moderately sand-proof container of some sort. I like to have this to put my glasses into when I'm in the water...

My Black Halcyon/Iberian Smart Alec arrived this evening. Wait a sec.....

OK. Yeah. I just cut the tags off because this baby is MINE.

I am too exhausted to do a full report on the unboxing and...

The sweet, sweet joy of anticipating a TB bag for days and weeks and months.... and then opening that all-too-familiar, all-too-mundane brown cardboard box and finding the Smart Alec as you always...

I'm wearing my first Ibex "Sol Tee" today in a women's XL. I'm 6 feet tall, about 175 pounds, breastfeeding breasts (ummm, so they fluctuate and honestly I have no idea what size they are because...

I just made an Ibex order of tshirts and ordered a long-sleeve tshirt from Mons Royale that I found on backcountry.com. I'm eager to try them all out and report back! I'll be looking out for your...

Thanks again for all these suggestions. The more detailed, the better.

I wish I could wear the baby! We have an Ergo that my husband wears often (actually, wearing her is the ONLY way he can get...

Ooooh, I'm intrigued by this suggestion. Tonight I'll see if the older one's tush fits into the younger one's seat. So you're suggesting that maybe she can just sit on/in it and that way we wouldn't...

Many, many thanks, @readmore. Hmmm. Things to mull over. My daughter (3.5 years) is also still rear-facing even though she is very tall for her age; I'm pretty into safety stuff too and it doesn't...

Hi gang. I have read carefully through a number of threads about traveling with kids (like this one started by @Janine in 2014, this one started by @luvdabags in 2015, and this one started by...

I love this reminder! I will be traveling many, many hours with my family in two weeks and I definitely need to psych myself up to remember this. Thanks for this tip.

TOTALLY GORGE. Thanks for sharing.

What is the interior color? For some reason, the interior color is never mentioned on the website, not even in the past when it was always Steel. Is it steel or...

I've been using a mini Dyneema Organizer Pouch as my wallet for about 7 or so years. But maybe it isn't totally working for me. It is always too full, and not easy to access things inside it. A mash...

@Toblerhaus/Amanda, those pics are gorgeous. The scenery, yes; the amazing sky, yes; the awesome and functional Synapses, yes; but that hair that both your kids have---TO DIE FOR. Absolutely...

Great question, @JaneLane! I am curious about this too. My A45 has Solar insides (BAM! KAPOW! VISIBILITY!), my Tristar has Wasabi (super-visible, but I've actually only used it once), and my...

Yay, so glad it arrived safe and sound! It IS really, really handsome. That is a great-looking bag! I may be a convert to the Nordic....

Happy Fourth!

Hi @bchaplin!

Right now it looks like there are Swifts with Nordic/UV, Large Cafe Bags with Nordic/NWS, and in-production Makers Bags in Nordic/UV.

Dunno if these are the bags you're looking...

Black and Nordic Halcyon Smart Alecs are now available! What's a girl to do??

Just reviving this thread to thank those of you who wrote posts for this. I really need to pare down my wardrobe, but I am also struggling with a few hurdles: 1. Will my body EVER "go back" to...

I've checked my A45 several times over the past 7 or 8 years and it has been lost several times by various (domestic) airlines. It is a wonderful Ballistic Indigo/Solar, and it does have a couple...

I'm with you, @TavaPeak. I'd prefer a large 42 or a 43. Thanks for the tip, @Pokilani. Too bad so many shoes max out at size 10 or 11 or even 12 for women. Blarg. The curse of the BigFoot, errr,...

The thread that just won't go away!

Another question: I have noticed that the Smart Alec's Upper Modular Pocket (UMP) and Lower Modular Pocket (LMP), neither of which I have ever seen in person...

WELCOME HOME REESE! I have thought about you a lot, @blackbird, and I feared the worst. This is FABULOUS news and such a happy way to start the day. So so happy for you guys and happy for your kitty!...

I see what you did there, @Kirri! Get it? "Bug"? Get it?
