Would you be able to share your exact model of Macbook? Looking to use a 15" Thinkpad with this bag, but I'd like to compare my laptop's dimensions to whatever you have, so I know what to expect in terms of sleeve fit.
The zippers aren't noisy. It's the metal zipper pulls that are noisy, which you can easily quiet by adding the non metal pulls TB provides for their bags, or adding your own pulls. Personally I like the jangly zipper pulls for the added theft deterrent when I'm wearing my bag (Synapse 25). As for the small pocket, I keep my receipts in that space when I travel and the water bottle I use (smaller than the giant water bottle you have) doesn't impede at all.
even when i add the zipper pulls (which i did to the other bags they sent me), it still makes noise. But for some reason, this bag didn't include them! Maybe they forgot...
The noisy jingle won't deter theft, as when it's in their hand it won't jingle. For a $350+ bag after tax and shipping it's definitely below industry standard in this regard, most come with quieting cord.
the last 2 bags tom bihn sent me, had those zipper pulls. this one didn't have them! But regardless of that, even with those zipper pulls on, they still make noise!

Great video! The bg music sounds a bit like RPG combat music though 😸
yeah my bad, bad choice of music! I'll be sure to choose better music for my next videos!

I think they should have those quiet pulls attached already
Does add cost and also people like to personalize alps the jangly nwothnzippers really seems a percent issue with people.

@@JonCrossAt this price this isn't an excuse. $100 American made bags do it just fine.
If you want to quiet the zippers, that's why Tom Bihn gives you a bunch of zipper pulls to attach
The zipper jangle wards off evil spirits.

The pulls I know of aren't quieting. You would need to use flat cordage like gutted paracord for that.
@@DesmondCheng I have two of the bags with pull attached. They are silent once attached properly
@@ManuBalasree interesting! mine are not silent!
4:20 Some Quick Release Buckles for the shoulder straps would be nice to pack those inside the luggage pass-through
agreed!
I’ll bet that smaller pocket wouldn’t be as tight with a smaller water bottle
correct!
Desy what bag is that in the beginning with the Canada patch?
Eberlestock Switchblade!
I've made a couple videos about the Eberlestock =)
Cons first gang 😁🤙🏽🤙🏽
No daily backpack?
you could use this as a daily back pack for sure!
What bag at 0:36?
