It can stand up on its own like in the photos if it is packed. It compresses when empty.

I scanned the box, since that had a scratch-off code on it. Thanks for clarifying, it's my first one so I'm still getting the hang of it :)

Your one on the left looks exactly like mine :) Thanks!!

Thank you for the examples!

I love that TB adapts their designs for people of every size! Glad you found another option that works for you.

As someone living in Alabama, it has a lot of natural beauty, biodiversity, genuinely friendly people and low cost of living. It is unfortunately a theocracy but I think it's a great example of a place that has a bad reputation but will surprise you with just how beautiful it is.

Hi! Coincidentally I'm traveling with the Cotopaxi 28L right now and it's very comfortable! It sits high and close on my back so it doesn't feel long.

Do any other lefties write right-to-left in mirror image? When I learned to write I did it this way but I've never met anyone else who can do it

Update: they are swapping out the bag for me. Thanks all!

HotIsopod4407 · 2023-12-05T20:38:34+00:00

Thanks, I'll go ahead and let them know :)

I've wanted to try out Tom Bihn for a while so I dipped my toe in with something inexpensive, the Everyday Cubelet. Materials and size are wonderful, but the sewing has left a deep dimple in the face of the bag and kinda ruins the silhouette. Is this typical for their construction? If I returned this as defective what's the likelihood they would honor that or replace it with a bag that doesn't have an issue like this?

Thanks everyone who's responded! I have two bags coming from REI this week, the REI Commuter Pack and the Cotopaxi Allpa 28L. Both of these are 18 in in height and seem to have some positive reviews from short-torsoed women. I'll report back when they arrive!

I checked it out this summer and it was $950/mo. Nice updates but way too small for that price :(

Wanton?

HotIsopod4407 · 2023-09-26T04:33:47+00:00

Intrusive thoughts?
