    Does anyone else want something from TB and want to split the postage?
    I'm after the Aeronaut 45:
    Aeronaut 45 - Maximum Carry-On Travel Bag. Converts to a backpack. One Bag travel. - TOM BIHN
    I have a very similar set up with an older North Face duffel which converts to a backpack with straps exactly like the Aeronaut. I have never used it as a backpack because if I'm carrying a lot of weight with a backpack, I like a waist strap.

    You have a look at Crumpler? Or the Eagle Creek?

    Nah, this is more utilitarian. When we start talking timepieces, we venture into the handbag realm.

    Nope, it's still handbags. And FWIW I once counted that I had fifteen different backpacks

    (Watches are just jewellery for men).

    I am honestly scared to count my backpacks, briefcases, camera cases, luggage, duffels. They seem to multiply in the closet even though I regularly clear some out. I may have inadverdently purchased a breeding pair of bags and they are producing offspring.

    I've decided I'll get an A45, Co-Pilot and Side Effect. I've spent a bit of time reading the TB forum and I'm surprised what a sub culture it is with lots of threads comparing bags and colours. Lots of good info in it including travel and packing tips.

    I have no idea what I just read, but for some reason I couldn't stop.

    Seriously though, I thought Ristretto was coffee

    Huh, I just had a look at the linked forum.

    Please help me choose color combo on Aeronaut 45 for a guy

    This stuff is definitely handbags for men!
