i’ve had hip belts for other bags i’ve owned so i knew this would be a smart purchase. the belt does exactly what it’s supposed to do and is easy to stash away when not needed. the one complaint is the attachment. i don’t seem to be able to get the clips on or off without breaking fingernails. either the plastic clip doesn’t compress enough or the metal extend far enough to easily open or close. i’m hoping there’s a trick that i’ll eventually learn.

I love my bag even more now that I changed straps. It is well made and works great.

I could talk about this hip belt quickly. I could wear it forever. Absolutely the most comfortable hip belt I have ever worn. It distributes the weight of my Techonaut 45 perfectly. Even when that baby is loaded for a week's journey I can easily traverse the cobblestones of Firenze or the hills of Ithaca.

Sewn in Seattle
Our bags are designed and sewn right here in Seattle, Washington, U.S.A.
That allows us to be control freaks in the best way possible; we have direct control and oversight of the quality of our materials, our products, and the jobs and working environment that we help create. It also offers us a unique spontaneity: when we have an idea for a new product or accessory, we can design it, figure out how to build it, add it to our website and be ready to ship it out our front door all within just a few weeks. How cool is that?
Intrigued? You can find out more about the unusual way we do business on our Company Philosophy page.

THE BIHN Guarantee
Everything you buy from us here at TOM BIHN is satisfaction guaranteed. We’ve been in business since 1972 and we stand behind what we make.
If something goes wrong and it's our fault, we'll fix it for free. Repairs due to normal wear and tear or due to other things that are not our fault will be performed, when possible, at a reasonable charge right here in our Seattle factory where your bag was made. Defects in materials or workmanship are uncommon and almost always evident while the product is still new. Keep in mind that bags and packs are often subject to extreme wear in everyday use: do not expect them to last forever. Only true love lasts forever! You can expect a TOM BIHN product to give years and years of hard service.
