Synapse 19

Love the Synapse 19

I have a Syniks 26 and the Smart Alec 2.0 but wanted something a little smaller and lighter for day trips/hikes, but not as small as my Paradigm. The Synapse 19 fits that need perfectly, and, in Spectron, easily packs in my carryon roller so I can still bring my Smart Alec as my flight bag/overage hauler for a month of flexible travel without the need to check a bag. Overkill, yes, but the Synapse 19 fills such a sweet spot!

Great EDC bag

I really love the Synpase 19. I agonized over what size and which bag to get and I’ve found this one is perfect for me. As I 5’3” female, the size of it is very comfortable and the capacity is more than enough to carry my work laptop and other daily things. I also brought it with me on a recent trip and loved how easy it was to get into the side pockets while it was with me under the seat in the plane.

Keeping things in order

I was looking for a compact backpack and this is it. There is the usual excellent TB build quality and lots of useful pockets for organisation. I haven't used it yet but I expect I'll appreciate the central bottle pocket and will be able to use the bag for overnight trips. And Bordeaux Spectron is a gorgeous colour.
