Think Tank Photo just keeps cranking out the hits. I got an email from Brian at Think Tank Galactic HQ last week telling me they’ve updated their already excellent bags. This LINK will take you to the page with the three new bags – they’ve updated my favourite bag of all time, the Airport Addicted, as well as the Airport Acceleration and the Airpot Antidote. Key upgrades include some re-organizing of the internal space to give you more space in the smallest airline-compatible bags possible, as well as new security cables the roller bags have but until now the backpacks have not.

My trip to Kenya put me onto some re-fitted Air Canada planes and folks, even if you get your heavy over-sized bag past the gate agents, the overhead bins are getting smaller. My Airport Security was a tight, tight fit. Really tight. There was sweating involved. I’m thinking the new Airport Acceleration will be just the key for getting it all onto an international flight without having to admit defeat and gate-checking my precious gear.

I’m hoping to do a solid review of the new design as soon as I can get my hands on one of these, but in the mean time I’m relying on extensive experience with many of their other excellent products when I tell you that if you’re looking for a bag along these lines, you can’t do better than Think Tank when it comes to quality and excellence of design.

The image above is a comp I put together. I tried as best as I could to scale them all correctly to each other, but please check the Think Tank site for exact specs, and don’t forget to verify your airline carry-on limits before you travel.
