The things that are special about Tom Bihn bags are (1) the quality of construction and (2) the fact that all the pockets and interior compartments are "lined". Some other bags have good construction quality, but not in every area like these bags (zips are fantastic as is everything else). Also, most other bags do not have every pocket or the interior of the main compartment lined (basically two-wall construction for everything). If you add the fact that these bags are made in the US and that the workers are paid a real salary, then that makes the Tom Bihn bags #1 in my opinion. If we want good US jobs with real wages for the workers, then we need to pay a little more to support companies that have that philosophy. Thank you Tom Bihn for doing your part.

Really good review and I appreciated getting that 2nd point of view. The only other thing I would add is the light weight of the Techonaut 30 which, depending on the fabric, is as light as 2 pounds, 2 ounces. That is really light for a tough premium travel bag with this capacity. That could make a difference if you are doing one bag travel on one of those airlines with a 15 pound carryon limit. Also, The Tom Bihn Synik 30 is actually 30 cubic inches and not 35. I own one and agree completely with what you say about the shoulder straps. They are identical to the ones on the Techonaut. In my opinion they are outstanding.

I have a Synapse 25 and used it as my one bag to Europe for 10 days. Brilliant bag. I also have a Sidekick for smaller loads, and now an Aeronaut 45 on the way. I have several other non-TB bags as well, but there’s just something about the TB ecosystem with all the pouches and accessories that keep me coming back. I’ve not found another manufacturer/system that works as well for me. Everything is so well made and thought out. I’ll probably own one of these someday. Thanks for the review!

So torn on this bag. I have an older Synapse 25, and it’s really comfortable to carry, so I’m guessing the Techonaut with those new straps would be awesome, but it’s just missing some of those organization features I’d love to have. I had the Peak Design 45, and while the organization is great, it never found it very comfortable to carry. I had the Tortuga Outbreaker, which is comfortable to carry, but I’ve had to check it a couple times, and I’m always nervous watching those unprotected straps go down to the conveyor belt monsters. I’m still looking for the “holy grail” bag: I want something comfortable to carry, easy to pack, straps that tuck away, durable, and has a basic office/tech pocket (another thing TB doesn’t have). Seems like someone ought to be able to come-up with that. In the meantime, I’m currently using a half-packed Osprey Porter 46, which is…meh. I guess my quest continues… Thanks for the review. Love your stuff.

Honestly... I’d rock the aeronaut 30 over this bag. I would just get over the fact of the lack of laptop. I’m not a huge sleeve user, but maybe I’d use sleeve for laptop and put it right in bag of the aeronaut. For some reason the aeronaut seems like more space for traveling.

My new standard for carry-comfort is Shimoda, particularly the Action X30. I’ve never worn a more comfortable backpack and it was pressure tested on a nightmare day of travel where I was stranded and lugging it around at Chicago O’Hare for over 12-hours. The adjustable straps are a game changer IMO, and I’m comparing it directly to similar bags I have from Peak Design, Wandrd, and Boundary. SO, that said, how do you think this bag compares to Shimoda for comfort? I’m liking a lot of the other features. Thanks!

Hmmm.. got my Synapse 25 several yrs ago off the back of your review. In particular, the fact the laptop c'pmt is away from the back. Its noticeably more comfortable, esp with a jumper/jacket padding it away. So the Technonauts laptop right at your back is a step back in comfort :( Lovely bag for sure tho... less 'dad bag' than the Synapse

(I found a woman to marry me for 30 years, so I appreciate that’s a miracle.). 2) When I can’t make up my mind between 30L & 45L: I just reserved a Series 2 Large Knack Pack, which expands from a 30L daily carry bag to a 46L max. carry-on travel pack. Chase liked the medium size S2

I’m not saying you’re wrong exactly. But prices of everything are going up. I work in packaging manufacturing, and our industry in our region is probably about to have its 3rd material price increase this year. I’m certain many materials in these bags are experiencing similar things. But to agree with you, it’s certainly too steep for me.

Their bags are pricey, but they make everything in their US factory in Seattle and use top quality materials.

I have owned almost every Tom Bihn bag up until 2 years ago. I sold everything off as there are so many better bags for a cheaper price. They need to stop using this "made in the US" excuse. I am all about keeping business in North America but there is no way this bag is worth that price. Great materials yes. Tom Bihn bags all seem to be floppy and no structure. This looks the same. Good luck getting that water bottle in there if this bag is packed out. Everyone talks about how their customer service is great. I disagree. I have had better service with other bag companies. Not to mention after spending $2500 they would not even give me a $10 off my shipping for being a loyal customer. That was the final straw for me. Never again Tom Bihn.
