Synapse 19

Calls her Synapse 19 the best backpack she's ever owned and says it fits her short frame perfectly.

“my Synapse 19 is the best backpack I've ever owned.”

Loves her Synapse 19 for day trips and a light travel wardrobe, though half the volume is in the outside compartments.

“I have this bag and love it. I think it just makes a really good day bag (because compartments, low profile and fit) plus has just enough room for an on-the-lighter-side travel wardrobe & essentials.”

Used the Synapse 19 for a three-day work trip with clothes, toiletries and a Kindle, and walked around Toronto with it afterward.

“I used the synapse19 for a 3-day work trip by plane (essentially fly-in, meet a lot of people, give a talk, meet some more, fly out). If you only have”

Finds the Synapse 19 too small for one-bag use as a plus-sized traveler but a good family daypack with quality she likes.

“the synapse 19 is a bit too small for me to use to one bag. It works well as a family daypack for water, medkit, change of clothes, snack, electronics, etc.”

Has used the Synapse 19 for 6 years as commuter bag and for short trips with zero issues.

“Synapse 19 has been my go to for 6 years. Daily commute, one bag for short trips, you name it.”

Finds the Synapse 19 perfect in every other way but it hurts to wear.

“Having same problem with the synapse 19 right now, hurts to wear but is perfect in every other way.”

Uses the Synapse 19 without the frame sheet and says it works so well for EDC.

“I have an S19 without the frame sheet and I've never felt I was missing anything regardless of how full I pack it. :) It works so well for my EDC”

Uses the Synapse 19 in X-Pac as his go-to everyday bag but wouldn't carry a MacBook in it because it is not big enough.

“Tom Bihn Synapse 19 (X-pac) is my go to EDC bag, but I wouldn’t want to carry my MacBook in it because it’s not big enough.”

Loves the design of the 19L Synapse, which is still going strong after seven years, but finds the larger sizes get a bit unwieldy.

“I absolutely love the bag design on the 19 liter Synapse, but once it’s sized up it gets a bit unwieldy”

Her favorite work bag: a good amount of pockets, easily fits a Nalgene, and her ballistic version is still mint after more than two years of daily use in industrial shipyards.

“My favorite work bag (and I travel at least once a week for work so meets that too!) has by and far been the Tom Bihn Synapse 19. It has”
