Those of you that have read my blog over the years and did not know how big of Tom Bihn fan I am, raise your hand. In my opinion, Tom Bihn is the top maker of quality luggage and gear bags in the country. Since 1972 Tom Bihn has ben working out of their Seattle factory making bags by hand and making certain every bag you get from them is of the top quality.
I have been one of the lucky people over the past years to review many of their bags. Here is a list of some of my favorites:
Zephyr:
CheckPoint Flyer Breifcase:
Ristretto for the iPad (My Favorite):
Co-Pilot:
And the unique Field Journal Notebook:

Lets start this review out by saying that when anyone asks my opinion on bags, whether they are laptop bags, messenger bags, carry-on bags or briefcases, I always tell them that the best high-end bags made are from Tom Bihn. Over five years ago I received my first Tom Bihn bag, the Empire Builder. It’s [...]
