TOM BIHN Aeronaut 30

Our legendary maximum size carry-on travel bag. Carry it as a backpack, shoulder bag, or duffel. Travel with the Aeronaut isn't like travel with wheeled luggage: you won't ever hesitate to make your way through the crowd, down a cobblestone alley, across the grass, or up the trail. With the load on your back, you can navigate through not just airports, train stations, and bus depots, but through airplanes , trains , and buses . Hard to categorize, the Aeronaut is at once soft luggage, a duffel bag, and a backpack.

The Hero's Journey is convertible travel luggage that allows you to fly to your destination, and then backpack or hut hop, all without checking baggage. If you are familiar with our Aeronaut 30 and 45 travel bags, you're already aware of the advantages of a carry-on bag that can be worn as a backpack: unlike wheeled bags, a backpack frees you from the smooth sidewalk and the paved path, allowing you move adroitly over any surface your feet can handle.

Why the Mystery? Each Organizer Pouch is made out of fabrics leftover from our cutting process (and possibly some rare, retired, or unreleased fabrics). Rather than let these scraps go to waste, we have decided to repurpose them into fun, mystery pouches. The colorway is only revealed to you when you unbox your order. It's a padded flat organizer pouch in Mini or Small (your choice) with a #5 YKK zipper. Some things might match, but nothing is guaranteed to. You might get a Olive Cordura binding, purple trim. Or you might get Wasabi Cordura binding and Moss trim.

Some things might match, but nothing is guaranteed to. If variety is the spice of life, these are spicy pouches. It's truly a mystery — we aren't offering a choice on which you get past size. Every pouch is a surprise!

A duffel gym bag with a timeless touch—the TOM BIHN Old School Carry-All is built to go anywhere. Back in the 90's, Tom designed The Classic Sport Bag in answer to customers' requests for a bag to take to the gym.Though it was well-loved by many customers, there was some legitimate feedback about the Sport Bag that Tom has taken to heart: specifically, folks wanted separate and substantial compartments to segregate and/or organize their stuff.

Back in the mid 1970’s, I made a firewood carrier for my father and a couple extras for friends. The design was nothing new or revolutionary, but it did its job: schlepping 3-5 firewood logs from the woodshed to the hearth. When my father passed away in 2016, I inherited the original carrier I had made all those years before. Now, over 40 years later, I use the thing almost daily in the winter months.
