I have the kit in indigo. It is gorgeous.

Except I won't be there.

I has sad.

While waiting in line for bathroom, one of the flight attendants admired my Little Swift bag and the indigo kit peaking out of it, and wanted to know where I got it. Ended up showing her and two other intersted flight attendants my Tri-star and Mike's Aeronaut and ID. Realized I'd become a bag geek, and Bihn fangirl.

I'm ordering the Tristar this weekend.

The tristar will be coming out in black with ultraviolet lining shortly.

Yes.

Some Model shots to help the uninitiated to understand the size/colors of the Tom Bihn and Red Oxx bags.

Lovin the pics and sound bites Jeff.

My aeronaut was delayed due to "adverse weather conditions."

That's the same thing that happened to my Aeronaut. After using it this weekend, I can say it is a great bag.

No trouble using the ID as a personal item either? [i wonder if I might have more trouble since the bag will look bigger on me.] The co-pilot should be here tomorrow.

I've been considering picking up a Murse. I'd like to be able to carry my iPhone, maybe my iPad, some Nick Nacks and my small frame 9mm with a spare clip. I have a permit but up to this point I haven't carried because it's a PITA. Any suggestions?

Yes, for those of us who are not as tall as others of us, the ID is kind of a big bag. But I still love it and it works great as a carry on. And you can fit a ton of stuff in it without it getting too bulky.

Vertically challenged kids need cool laptop bags too!!!

Check out the Tom Bihn Ristretto with the Absolute strap. I have the 13" MB version for my iPad. It has a pocket to slip a handgun separated from where you keep the iPad or comp.

Do you mean Colin or the bag?

No, you're right, the red on black definitely looks a ton better in person or good photos than it does on the Red Oxx site.

Got the Aeronaut today and it is great. I tried taking pictures of it but the colors are not coming out right... the blue is more purple and darker than is portrayed in these pictures. I will try to take some in the natural light at some later point. Also, the Absolute strap is so much more awesome than I thought it would be!

Shelly, they just discontinued that color, saying the last of the indigo is being used in some tri-stars. I think I'm going to order a sidekick in the indigo, just because it's such a great color.

Thanks for letting me know Vicki. I better decide if I want to get anything else in Indigo before they run out.

Shelly, the bag looks great.

Agree.

^^^ Shelly, ignore Mike and Dinny .. they are nothing but Bihn shills and fanbois.

The bag does look very nice, however, and that's from an Oxx person, so it's a real compliment.

I do like the color combination. Indigo and Saffron FTW
