Cadet

Just what I needed

I just needed a simple laptop bag with no whistles and no bells. This bag hit the points that I wanted. I’m retired so I don’t need something to carry a lot of paperwork. ✔️ I only need space for the laptop, mouse and mat, and spots for check book | pen | AirPods | recharging cables for other devices. ✔️ Something light weight. ✔️ The Cadet fits my needs quite nicely.

Perfect everyday laptop bag

I've owned the Cadet for 7 months now, and it's become my go-to work bag. The organization is simple, but often times simple is best. The main compartment holds my 16" Thinkpad (use a sleeve, as this bag does not have a false bottom and has no padding without a sleeve) and documents, and there's a pocket in the main compartment that I'll put a smaller 14 inch laptop or a tablet in. The secondary compartment is a great place to stuff a tech pouch, wallet, phone, your keys. I use an Everyday Cubelet to carry my wallet, work phone, and tech essentials, and with the large size of the secondary compartment, I can just drop the cubelet in and go. Finally, there's a document sleeve on the back. I like to put reusable plastic bags in there - in case I decide to go grocery shopping over lunch, I always have a grocery bag handy. And the sleeve unzips at the bottom and doubles as a luggage passthrough when traveling.

Cadet flies high for local cartoonist

Artists have lots of supplies, even digital ones. Finding the perfect bag to hold all my art stuff and still be able to safely and comfortably transport my work laptop has been a bit of a challenge. I have used Tom Bihn bags in the past for travel and weekend bags, but never for my daily driver. The cadet is the perfect size to hold all of my bibs and bobs, sketchbooks, and art. With accessories, the organization options are endless, but the cadet's built-in pockets are nothing to sneeze at when it comes to organizing. The bag is tough, but light. So I know it'll last forever and not weigh me down. I love carrying it everywhere. Added some teal and green zipper pulls to display my Seahawks pride!!
