great review, i'm tempted by one as i have a Makers bag right now, but it is only slightly too small for all my stuff should i go on holiday. maybe i should organise it better :p
Hi! I am struggling a little between the WF in 525 vs. Halcyon. I am kinda leaning towards Halcyon, just because its a little more flexible. However I worry about abrasions . I am new to TB and just bought the Synik 22. What is your opinion on the two fabrics when traveling on a plane? Do you feel the WF could possibly fit a weeks worth of summer clothing (mens) using the TB packing cubes designated for the Wf? Or should I go with Tristar? Cheers!
Hi Kevin O. I haven't used the 525 myself, so I can only say that the Halcyon is going to be a lighter and less abrasion resistant fabric. I like it in bags like the WF because it grows with the bag, and is good for when it is underpacked. As to the question on a weeks worth of clothes, I think this is certainly doable in the WF, and maybe easier than the tri-star. It all depends on what else you are looking to bring. At 26L, the WF holds a fair bit.
Chris Delp They are the halcyon TB packing cubes for the Western Flyer. It is a discontinued packing cube that has been replaced by the current line of Aether cubes. I much prefer the halcyon fabric.
@@HazyGator no, i wear a size 13, so the Aeronaut 30 wouldn't fit a pair of shoes in the end pocket. And the Tri-Star sections only work if you pack flat. I like the versatility of the Western Flyer
Keep up the great reviews. As a fan of Tom Bihn I already had a few bags. But because of your videos I now own a Western Flyer and DLBP. Where are you reviewing from? Cheers from Canada.

What exactly are the small packing cubes in front? Are they a TB product? If so what size and name please!!

What color is the interior material here?
Andy, the interior of this one is Wasabi green
Was that a 9.7 or 10 or 12 inch Ipad?
Shawn Powell it was a 9.7”
Do you wish at all that you had gotten the Aeronaut 30 or the Tristar instead of the bags you chose?
