Tom Bihn shipping new Zephyr Bag

TOM BIHN introduced the Zephyr, a new medium-size briefcase with "smart" pockets, pouches, and dividers for quick access and organization, as well as the option for adding the TOM BIHN Brain Cell hard-sided laptop case as a highly protective interior compartment for a laptop computer.

The Zephyr has a highly professional appearance that, for all its organizing features, also looks compact. Made from 1050 denier ballistic nylon and 500 denier Cordura, the Zephyr is available in several color combinations, including Black/Steel/Olive, Black/Steel/Steel, Black/Hunter/Steel, Black/Black/Deep Blue, Black/Black/Crimson.

Smart organizing features of the Zephyr include:

  • A horizontal zippered pocket designed to fit DVDs or small electronics.
  • A vertical zippered pocket to provide quick access to a cell phone.
  • A diagonal, open-top pocket perfect for a plane ticket or any
    similarly sized accessories.
  • A large, zippered front pocket under the front flap that extends
    almost the width length of the bag, and behind that pocket, a large pouch that features 3-D pockets for a PDA, cell phone, and pens, plus one of several small "O" rings that offer a place to attach either a key snap or a TOM BIHN Organizer Pouch.
  • Ample area in the rest of the pouch for storage of gear
  • A main compartment that unzips low on the sides, exposing a
    "bellows" that permits easy access to the depths of the bag, and
    that is completely padded by 1/4" (6mm) closed-cell foam to protect contents and maintain a sharp look.
  • Three hard plastic file dividers inside the main compartment that
    make organizing papers a snap, and
  • Clips for attaching the optional Brain Cell hard-sided laptop case,
    so the Zephyr can be turned into a sophisticated and highly protective
    laptop briefcase.

The asymmetrical front flap of the Zephyr closes with a sturdy 1-1/2"
side-release Duraflex Warrior Buckle and has three outside pockets.
The comfortable handles are constructed of Ballistic nylon and are rolled around high-quality, 0.5" thick Poron(r) foam. The handles lie naturally together at the top of the bag. The unique TOM BIHN
Absolute Shoulder Strap can be added if Zephyr owners choose to carry the bag as a shoulder bag.

The Zephyr is in stock and ships worldwide when ordered through the TOM BIHN Web site. TOM BIHN is a designer, manufacturer, and retailer of laptop bags, backpacks, messenger bags and briefcases. We use several TOM BIHN products. It's great stuff! [Bill Fox]
