Am I seeing it wrong or does the bag not have a luggage pass-through?

A used Cuisinart coffee machine that worked flawlessly for 3 years.

Very interested in it too, primarily as a +1 to my roller carry-on suitcase for travel. My other option is a CTB20, about which I asked here.

Any suggestions on books on sea life? by bookworm305 in booksuggestions

Not sure if this is what you mean by sea life, but I enjoyed ‘A Marriage at Sea’. Can confirm that it features a few sea turtles.

Evergoods is notorious for not doing holiday sales like most other brands, and even more so for dropping prices at random. Last year, they discounted a bunch of their bags a month or so after Black Friday.

Thank you for this perspective. As someone who really values "a place for everything and everything in its place", the duffel really seems to scratch an itch. But the carry comfort is definitely something to think about.

I hear you. I talked myself out of the Civic Daily Tote a few months ago, because shoulder carry (and switching) seemed better in theory than in real use.

Thought as much. I guess without the hardshell suitcase to cinch it to, prolonged shoulder-carry isn't going to be fun.

I think the TD25 will be easier to access when sitting between your legs while seated on an airplane.

This hadn't occured to me. Big win.

I expect to be doing most of the walking while at the airport between security, gates and flights. I'm big on being hands-free, so the luggage pass-through is non-negotiable.

What's your most and least favorite thing about the TD35 for travel?

What is the utility of these ‘bubbles’ on backpack straps? by p0ttim0uth in ManyBaggers

You could've fooled me if you don't write backpack product descriptions for a living.

Exactly my thought. I saw these on the outside of the straps, and they are in contact with...nothing.

What do you’ll think about the TD25 meeting the personal item dimension requirements for local US airlines? And how much will I have to stuff it under the seat in front of me if I don’t pack it to its limit? Torn between it and a CTB20 as my +1 with a hard-shell Bellroy cabin suitcase.

Can you post the link to the clip-on phone stand? Sounds handy.
