boomana Posted January 14, 2011 Report Posted January 14, 2011 TN released the dog tags as they were at my house when I got home. Perfect luggage tag size for the Tri-star.
The Monkey Posted January 15, 2011 Author Report Posted January 15, 2011 Jeff, I'd be interested in how your clothes do in terms of wrinkles.
Voltron Posted January 20, 2011 Report Posted January 20, 2011 I'm in, and would appreciate suggestions for the best "weekend bag" choice.
VPI Posted January 20, 2011 Report Posted January 20, 2011 Depends on how you pack. The Airboss is a very good bag for the organized packer and the add on of the Metro makes for a secondary laptop bag which will come it handy for business travel. After playing around with the Airborne a bit I think I might use it more as a weekend bag than I will the Airboss and I tend to cram stuff instead of properly packing.
Fitz Posted January 20, 2011 Report Posted January 20, 2011 Would the Gator count as a "personal item" to take in addition to a normal carry-on bag?
VPI Posted January 20, 2011 Report Posted January 20, 2011 I carry a larger bag than that as my personal item quite often.
boomana Posted January 20, 2011 Report Posted January 20, 2011 Yes, the Gator would be a personal item. Guys, Dan kindly moved posts re HC Red Oxx Bag Buy into the Group Buy Forum. Look there and sign up.
tyrion Posted January 20, 2011 Report Posted January 20, 2011 My ID and Aeronaut were waiting for me when I arrived at the office this morning. I will post some pics tonight.
boomana Posted January 21, 2011 Report Posted January 21, 2011 This is kinda a stupid video with bad editing, but it gives a real good idea of size for the tri-star and aeronaut:
VPI Posted January 21, 2011 Report Posted January 21, 2011 Carried the Metro today. With my other bags I have constant troubles with the strap slipping off my shoulders when I wear large coats. The strap did not move at all while walking or trying to read the iPad on the subway. I'm not exactly sure how it works but the strap alone might make this a better carry bag than my typical Tumi Townhouse bag.
grawk Posted January 21, 2011 Report Posted January 21, 2011 If anyone's interested, I've got a travelpro briefcase/overnight carry-on with backpack straps I bought back when I was a road warrior but rarely used. I'm not really a backpack type, so it's spent most of it's life in my basement. Has a clever suspension pocket for laptops, and a decent amount of space.
tyrion Posted January 21, 2011 Report Posted January 21, 2011 I really like the ID messenger bag so far. It has lots of room and is very comfortable to carry. While my Tumi briefcase is more professional, I think it will be retired in lieu of the ID. I prefer across the chest carry to shoulder carry, which the big advantage the ID has over the Tumi. It also has a nice zipper pocket on the front flap where I can keep a gun. I am looking forward to checking out the Red Oxx gear but I think I am a Bhin fanboy at this point.

I might be remembering wrong, but I think Travelpro was the brand of luggage American Airlines made my brother get when he was a pilot for them. It's nice, extremely durable stuff.
grawk Posted January 21, 2011 Report Posted January 21, 2011 yup, it's VERY sturdy, that's why I got it. I just then rarely used it because I preferred my crappy bag with more internal space (no backpack straps)
MexicanDragon Posted January 24, 2011 Report Posted January 24, 2011 Re: biscuits -- I hate you all. Mmmmm.... biscuits. I need a new EDC bag, and some new things to fill it with. Gotta keep an eye on this thread again... **BRENT**
luvdunhill Posted January 24, 2011 Report Posted January 24, 2011 wow, I like that Mike as well. Very good choice!
shellylh Posted January 24, 2011 Report Posted January 24, 2011 (edited) Looks nice Mike! I am still heavily leaning towards the Aeronaut. The only thing I fear is that I would overstuff it so it was bulging and then they won't let me take it on the plane since it was larger than the "maximum" carry-on (this would be more likely to happen to someone like me because the bag would look bigger on me, being 5'2", than a normal to large sized male). Now that I write this, I realize that I worry way too much. Edited January 24, 2011 by shellylh
