See our other mask designs: V5 Mask / Mask Head Strap Description Our multi-layer non-medical V6 Mask is designed to have as many interior filtration layers as practicable , while remaining cool, breathable, comfortable, and convenient to wear. In spite of its multiple layers, most folks who’ve tested this mask find it to be our most breathable, comfortable mask design yet. Why did we choose sewn-in filter layers instead of a user-inserted filter? Because the interior filter layers can be machine washed and machine dried, there’s no need for a separate, removable filter.

First Aid is how you take care of yourself. Second Aid is how you take care of others. Our First and Second Aid Pouches are zippered, clamshell-style organizer pouches. Both feature two interior zippered pockets: a flat one of clear urethane, and a 3D-pleated one that’s made of mesh and divided down the center into two sub-pouches. Two elastic bands along the spine can accommodate an extra pen, pencil or similar item. Inside, both pouches are the same; outside is a different story: the First Aid Pouch is red; the Second Aid Pouch is blue.

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?

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.

A clever travel sack that keeps clean and dirty clothes separated. Based on a design from our archives (circa 1981) and inspired by Tom's time hosteling around Europe, the Travel Laundry Stuff Sack works like this: start your trip off with the sack full of clean clothes, and as they become dirty, put them in the other end of the same sack. A floating divider midway keeps the clean and the dirty clothes separated. The volume of the clothing doesn't change, but the ratio of clean to dirty does. You don't need separate sacks for clean and dirty laundry anymore! Yeahh!
