Tom Bihn Aeronaut 45 Travel Backpack

This bag is the Mary Poppins of all travel bags. You think it’s full, and BOOM you find you can squeeze just ONE more souvenir inside. It fits perfectly in the overhead of flights worldwide—it’s been all over SE Asia and Europe (gotta keep those baggage fees low). I’ve never been questioned or asked to check it.   I purchased this bad boy after extensive research on the perfect bag for “one bag travel.” I’m obsessed with it, and I’ve turned several friends onto it. It’s sturdy, but flexible. The materials are all durable and made in the US (Seattle!) and sewn by hand. It’s not too bulky and not super ugly, and yet it fits so much.   To give you an idea—I as a plus size lady took this and only this bag (plus a personal item) for 5 weeks in South East Asia, for 3 weeks in Iceland, Scotland, and Amsterdam, and for two weeks in Italy while traversing trains. It’s perfect. I’m just upgrading to a different color.   There are some *slight* stains on the front flap—I tried to get them in a different light. It’s incredibly hard to even see them in any other light, but they are there. This material incredibly sturdy and can withstand going through checked baggage (with wine wrapped up inside even).
