They were good in the past. The current team is riding on past goodwill that is diminishing fast with their FOMO behavior, lousy designs, old materials and now, a retail store in a mall
If I were in the market for a new travel bag, I'd give this a serious consider. But I already have both a Techonaut 30 and Synik 30. At first glance, I wasn't very impressed with the Bixby, but after seeing a few reviews and pack-outs, I think this one does have its place in the TB Lineup.
Excited to see the review. I've already preordered, so it won't influence my purchase. Still excited to see others' perspectives. This bag is pretty much everything I had been hoping to get out of a bag. The biggest thing...I love, I mean LOVE Tom Bihn. And this one is likely to fit my wants/desires perfectly.
Thank you for watching and for the support! Fair points on the aesthetic, definitely not for everyone, but I actually like it a little better than the look of some of their other bags :) haha
Great review with a lot of details. Excellent job as always - I've been toying with this new model to replace my Synik30 but I don't care for the Bixi's organization - The Synik30's pockets are amazing and it's hard to switch to something else (except for the Able Carry Max). Question: Do you memorize all of these details or are you working off flash cards or notes somewhere while filming? Your delivery is solid and I'm amazed that you can recite all of this so well.
Thank you for watching and for the support! I’m glad the video was helpful and definitely understand the difficulty of moving away from the Synik layout, it’s so useful! For the videos I do typically memorize the specs / details (although I might need to consider using some sort of notes as I sometimes forget items 😅)
This bag was controversial amongst the Tom bihn diehards, I think it’s fine. I prefer the layout of the techonaut, but for some people the more normal looks of this bag will make it more appealing than the offbeat offerings from tb. It’s like a more colorful, lighter aer with more premium internal fabrics.

TB x Aer Collab as we have been calling it for the last few weeks
Really amazing that Tom Bihn has been so successful given their designers are clearly blind.
Ever since the company sold, the bags just don't hit the same. There was a trade off from aesthetics to function, but the bags seem less inspired

Reminds me of the Tortuga bags from how the organization is laid out.
Thank you for watching and that’s a good point, I can see some similarities in how things are laid out

Thank you for watching and I agree, definitely a solid addition to their lineup!:)

Thank you for watching and great to what you were able to pre order! It’s definitely lived up to what I was hoping for so far!:)
Solid review as always. I love Tom Bihn stuff but agree with most comments that this is not a great looking bag.

Love that interior 🤩
Thank you for watching and I agree, such a unique color!:)

I m discovering and enjoying ur videos .. just an idea could u give the empty weight of the bags, as that is a criteria for me .. tyvm
Thank you for watching and for the suggestion! I will work on incorporating that more consistently into videos:)
I've never been a die hard TB fan but always respected their unique designs. This is just an Aer travel pack clone but uglier.
Thank you for watching and that’s a fair point! Although I like this a lot I can see how it might not feel as distinctive as other Tom Bihn bags
Crazy how ugly this is, given that they have to compete with Aer, Evergoods etc.
