The Mardee TB Vortex

Stole this phrase from Lyndash in Pam's trip report. I wanted to respond but didn't want to derail the trip report.

Thanks to Mardee, I was inspired to (ultimately) get 5 pieces of Tom Bihn for our Spring Trip. I got two small travel trays, one for each of us, which we used as our individual catchalls for when we arrived and left our accommodations (keys, change, rings, whatever). I bought a cubelet, thinking is was the size of the everyday cubelet. I ended using that for a first aid kit, perfect. And then bought the everyday cubelet which I used as a cross body everyday bag on non travel days (used my backpack on travel days). Finally, I bought my husband the marathon messenger bag for his everyday bag (ulterior motive: it was big enough to carry any of my things that didn't fit in my everyday cubelet i.e. rain jacket and water bottle, which he was very gracious about). These all worked really well for us and I'm happy we got them.

Katiecem, I read your post simply because I loved the title. @Lyndash, thanks for such a wonderful nickname for Mardee. I didn't really understand it though until I read this post and realized TB stood for Tom Bihn. I'd probably not had enough coffee the first time.
Katiecem, I particularly like posts where they describe how they used a product during their travels. I guess I am now caught in the vortex as the website is the next thing on my to do list for today.

It's a sickness. Be afraid. Be very, very afraid. 😱
