Full Description

Main Compartment

The main compartment is slim but capacious enough for everything you need for a day out, whether you're at a co-working space, on the plane, at a coffee shop, or in your favorite brewery. It zips closed to keep the rain off your equipment while you're on the move.

Inside the main compartment you'll find a padded open-topped device pocket measuring 15.5" x 10.5" and made from spacer mesh (the same mesh as our Synik 30's laptop pocket).

Front Pocket

The front pocket features several smaller pockets, big enough for a pen or stylus, charge bank, or smart phone. It also has plenty of room to hold all the things you need quick access to: power cords, wallets, fobs, and snacks.

Zippable Luggage Handle Pass-through Pocket

The pass-through pocket measures 14½" / 370mm wide and features a zippered bottom so it can be converted to an open-topped pocket when not being used to secure your tote to a roller bag. Plenty big enough to put your laptop into if you just need to move a few feet and don't want to go through the motions of zipping and unzipping the bag, or if you want quick access to a notepad or eReader.

Crossbody Carry Option

You asked with the Nomad 11 and we answered—the Nomad 16 features attachment points for a shoulder strap and comes standard with the Standard Shoulder Strap, with the option to upgrade to the Absolute Shoulder Strap.

What's Included

Standard Shoulder Strap
1.5" / 38 mm nylon webbing strap, includes .25" / 6mm texturized rubber pad and heavy-duty plastic snaphooks. 

One 8" Snaphook/Snaphook Key Strap

As with most of our bags, we've included a key strap. 8" long from tip-to-tip, a snaphook on either end. Good for attaching your keys to.

One 4-pack of Black Pulls Du Jour

A set of our new pulls come with your bag, great for adding a little extra length, leverage, and texture to the metal pulls.

What's Optional

Vertical Packing Cubelet

Vertical Packing Cubelets' vertical orientation work well in this bag to keep all your cables contained.

Size 2 Handy Little Thing

The HLT Size 2 is great for those who are hyper-organized. Put all your cables, syluses, and fobs all in one bag for quick-access and have a place for everything and everything in its place so you don't have to think about it while on the go.

Mystery Organizer Pouches

Take an adventure with our Mystery Organizer Pouches -- all sorts of fun combinations of colors and a size that is very useful for the small stuff that attaches to the o-rings in our bags for easy access.

Ghost Whale Organizer Pouches

An alternative to the Mystery Organizer Pouches, plenty of different sizes and choose your color for coordination and differentiation.

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.
