Are Tom Bihn bags buy it for life, or has the quality dipped in recent years? (kbin.social)

I'm considering buying a duffle bag and I've heard good things about the brand, but if it's only good for 4-5 years before degrading then I'd rather get something else.

Update 7/12/23: I bought an Aeronaut and it's supposed to arrive soon. Looking forward to it.

I have a travel bag I bought from them around 2017. It was my daily driver for transporting my laptop and gear to and from work until I started WFH in 2019, it is also my main carry-on bag when I travel.

It still looks and feels brand new, nothing about it feels even close to breaking.

YMMV, and I don't know about recent years, but I would absolutely buy from them again if I had a need.

Agreed. I’ve owned an Aeronaut 45 since 2015-ish, have flown transcontinental at least monthly since, no signs of aging, breaking, etc. These bags are absolutely bulletproof and I would not hesitate to recommend. Cannot speak to recent trends but if past history is an indicator, there shouldn’t be an issue.
