We offer several comfortable shoulder straps to choose from. The Absolute Shoulder Strap has a unique, patented, internal control-stretch system that's a lifesaver when carrying a heavy bag. It's the ideal strap for those who carry hefty loads or simply want the most comfortable strap available. The Absolute Shoulder Strap combines a nonslip, ergonomically curved pad — made of soft, durable neoprene — with comfortable stretch backing to make bags feel 50% lighter and 100% more comfortable.

Some of our bags — such as the Cadet , Synik, Pilot , and Co-Pilot — have built-in rolling luggage handle pass-through slots. But what do you do if your bag doesn’t have a pass-through, or you have rolling luggage with a very thick, wide handle that can’t fit through the bag’s built-in pass-through? There’s two solutions we can offer: Option #1 Use the Webbing Waist Belt On the Bag You Have This is admittedly a bit of a hack, but if you have one of our bags, you might already have what you need for it and, in that case, it’s free! 1.

A Key Strap is a strip of webbing with plastic snaphooks or a plastic snaphook and O-ring at each end. An 8” Key Strap in Black is included in most of our larger bags. That was, for many, the gateway to a world of organization via Key Straps and Organizer Pouches . Key Strap, Snaphook/Snaphook One end of the Key Strap clips to an O-ring and the other clips to your keys, pocket watch, pedometer, or work or school ID. Key Strap, Snaphook/O-Ring A small variation on our classic Key Strap. The Key Strap, Snaphook/O-Ring has—you guessed it—a snaphook on one end and an O-ring on the other.

Our Wheelchair or Stroller Straps allows one to hang any TOM BIHN bag with 1-1/2" d-ring shoulder strap attachment points on to the back of a stroller or wheelchair. Wheelchair or Stroller Loops attach to our bags through the bag’s plastic triangular “D-ring” part. The Loops don't clip into the circular hole where you’d normally attach a shoulder strap’s snaphook, but rather slips through the slot where the webbing, which affixes the plastic triangle to the bag, passes.

Our take on the toiletries kit. In two versions: Standard and Deluxe. The Spiff Kit is the TB take on the ubiquitous toiletries kit. Though we suppose that a spartan few will live off the land and use whatever the hotel washroom offers up, most of us seem to prefer our unique collection of personal essentials for even the shortest of trips. For some of us that’s our favorite flavor of toothpaste or Dr. Bronner's soap (and, well, if Dr. Bronner’s is your favorite toothpaste, we're not sure what to say...); for others it's a refined collection of vitamins or cosmetics.

Make use of the nooks and crannies in your travel bags with these stuff sacks. Our Travel Stuff Sacks serve a variety of purposes: they stow and compress items like down/polyfill jackets and vests (constraining them to a smaller amount of space); they can be used to separate dirty clothes from clean clothes; and some folks prefer to use them for packing clothing that doesn't need to be folded, like underwear — we don't fold our underwear — do you?

The Guide's Edition Synapse 25 takes all of the same clever features, bountiful organization, and top-shelf build of the original Synapse 25 and walks it all a bit further up into the mountains, a bit deeper into the woods. Rather than the all-too-common black zippers, hardware and webbing, the Guide's Edition Synapse 25 has gone terrestrial: it’s trimmed and lined in Coyote brown. The resulting aesthetic might be taken as an homage to another time; but to our sensibilities, bags trimmed in Coyote seem to be a little more at home in the great outdoors.

Made out of leftover fabrics, old and new, in all sorts of colors and materials. Like the Organizer Pouches and Grab Bags before them, this is an initiative to use scrap fabrics. Here's what you can expect with the Mystery Organizer Pouches: It's an clear-fronted flat organizer pouch in Mini or Small (your choice) with a #5 YKK zipper. 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 good and strong duffel designed to pack your dog's stuff: extra leash, food, water bowl, Camp Mat and more. We started with our favorite classic duffel design, added some smart features, removed some stupid ones, and then put it all together with the best materials and stitching you can get. This is the duffel to take on road trips (for your stuff and your dog's stuff) or throw in the back of the truck filled with WCS (Worst Case Scenario) gear. And, sure, you can fly with it or take it to the gym. Webbing loops on the bottom and side for looping through our Lash Straps .
