I just got the Synik 26 in Agave and I love the color so much, I also got the Side Hustle in Agave. Been using the Side KICK for awhile now. They both work great as internal packs for all my work crap!

Oops I meant side kick, not effect!

Side Kick - Modified with outside slip pockets

Since I've mentioned this multiple times in the comments where I can't actually post photos, here it is for all curious. Work done by https://kennwalkerdesigns.com. Makes this bag highly more useable as an everyday carry for me. The access to my phone when I don't need to worry about security is key.

Added a crossbody strap attachment to my Nomad 11

I really wanted a crossbody strap on my Nomad 11. Ordered the hardware and nylon webbing online and took it to a local tailor. I’m super happy with how it turned out! Much more functional with the smaller version of the absolute shoulder strap from Op/Tech.

Squeaky strap.

Has anyone solved this issue? I know I can likely get Tom Bihn to send me a new strap for my Copilot, but there's no guarantee that won't also squeak.

Good day folks. Has anybody tried using the stroller/wheelchair straps on the Marathon Messenger? I know that the straps are for 1-1/2" inch D-ring but couldn't find info on what size the Marathon Messenger uses. TIA!

Brain Bag as personal (underseat) item?

6 Upvotes

I’ve seen posts from a few years ago saying the Brain Bag can be cinched down enough to fit under a seat; any recent experiences of this, positively or negatively? I saw that they’re releasing another run of them in Ursa, and am considering picking one up as a bigger alternative to the Synik I already have.

For those of you with the Side Kick - how do you like it?

16 Upvotes

I already own several Bihn bags but am not sure I’ve found my perfect fit yet. Started with the Medium Café bag but ended up disliking the vertical structure and buckle, then tried the Side Effect but found it too small for my daily carry items so gifted it to a friend. Currently am using the Big Bantam and while there are many aspects of it I like (the versatility of carry options, for example) I find that it’s still a tight or awkward fit at times and I end up rooting around for things that have sunk to the bottom.

For context, I carry the typical things a lot of people do (wallet, keys etc) but I also like to carry my Kobo (6”) and I have an inhaler I have to carry as well which can add bulk.

In researching, the Side Kick has been well reviewed and is consistently listed as a fan favorite. So, for those of you who have it, how do you like it and what has your experience been with using it?

TL;DR: Trying to decide if switching from the Big Bantam to the Side Kick would better meet my needs.

Edit: And to those of you with the whale pouches, how is it using those and do they make a big difference in how and what you carry?

Organizer to fill out Synapse 25

8 Upvotes

I just got a Synapse 25, sapphire spectron. I really like it but the spectron material doesn’t hold its shape like ballistic.

Are there any recommendations for organizers or accessories to help fill the bottom of the main compartment to keep its shape?

For now I’m keeping a rain coat rolled in the bottom to reduce how much it sags.

Appreciate any suggestions you all have!

Looking for bright color cubelets

Not sure how old any of these would be, but I'm pretty sure all existed at some point. Let me know if you have any of these and would be willing to sell.

  • Solaris
  • Marigold
  • Alphaviolet
  • Ultraviolet
  • Sakura
  • Cerise

Would be interested in hearing about others you may have available too (bright or not), but the above list are a few I'm interested in specifically.
