One of the internet’s most beloved backpacks due to its accessibility, organization, build quality and capacity. Dad-bag looks tho.

Now available in two styles:

The “Synik” available in 22L and 30L, clamshell opening, new edgeless straps.

22L is PERFECT for my daily carry needs (a little tight, I gotta get a little funky on the laptop setup, but it’s perfect for me). Highly recommended.
30L is quite large for daily carry (larger framed people and folks with bigger loads to carry may not think so, tho), solid for travel (although I’d like something that’s a little smaller as a daily carry once I arrive).

The “Synapse” available in 19L and 25L, not clamshell opening, older straps. (Watch the Synapse Video.)

19L is real minimal and light and great for day hikes.
25L is epic for minimal travel and larger daily carry loads. Highly recommended.

Also covered in this video and this video.
