By Posted in - Travel Giveaway on Tom Bihn Aeronaut luggage.

Today’s prize comes from a company who is really close to our hearts: Tom Bihn. Darcy and the rest of the team at Tom Bihn have been huge supporters of Beers and Beans for awhile now, and we can’t thank them enough for being in our corner.

Not only do the make awesome travel luggage and products, they’re dedication to their customers, community and employees is bar none. If this is your first time hearing about Tom Bihn, then I highly recommend taking sometime to check out their website and blog.

For our giveaway week, Tom Bihn has donated one of our favorites: The Aeronaut. We use the Aeronaut ourselves, in fact, I used as my main bag during our travels last year through Europe. To this day, it looks like it just came out the factory. We’ve also reviewed the bag, which you can check out here: Straight Outta Seattle: Tom Bihn Travel Bags Review.  As an added bonus for all the dog lovers out there, we’ll also be throwing in a stuffed toy Bat from Tom Bihn’s new company, Skookum Dog, which was inspired by their dogs and their  love for the outdoors!
