    Tom Bihn Synik 22 | Best backpack under $300?
    The Tom Bihn Synik 22L is a distinct and creative approach to an everyday carry 🎒. The organizational wizard of this bag is an alternative version to a long time favorite from Tom Bihn, the Synapse. Check out the full review!

    15:02 The laptop compartment is deliberately designed in this way to prevent the laptop from slipping out accidentally if the zipper is left open

    That’s a great looking bag. I have a Synapse 25 and used it as my one bag for a 10-day winter trip to Sweden and the Netherlands. These hold so much more than you might think, and the quality is amazing. It’s not hard to see how people (including me) become such fanatics for this company and their bags.

      Agreed. These bags are deceptively stylish and big (in a good way). I’m a fan right there with you even though it’s not my style really.

      Were you able to pick everything you needed for that 10 days in the synapse 25? What organizers did you use for the inside? I just got one also and love it. I added the pulls to all the zippers.

      @@cynicsupreme Yes, everything fit easily. I used a lot of merino wool and did some laundry in the sink at night so things would be dry by morning. I had two packing cubes and some smaller Tom Bihn organizers. I also had a Sidekick that fit inside. It all worked like a charm and I wasn’t missing anything I wanted or needed. Best of all, I took the packing cubes out at the hotel and used the bag as a day bag. It was great.

    I think you missed one of the best qualities in the fact that the easy acess to the two side pockets is when you swing it round off one shoulder without having to take the pack off.

    Tom Bihn seems so sick for EDC. The internal bottle carry on them is so nice. Luminary (~$140) would be a cheaper, smaller, less organized option.

    • @DaveSam13
      @DaveSam13  2 роки тому +1

      That’s a great call. I love the Synik and use it all the time but something a little lighter would be nice too. I’ll check it out. Thanks for watching!

    Weird question--do you think the Synik 22 would work as a baby bag? It seems like the bottom could fit a few diapers and the side pockets would work for wipes/cream/snacks. Tom's parental unit has super hard availability and isn't a backpack.

    • @DaveSam13
      @DaveSam13  2 роки тому +1

      Hmm I’ve never carried one but I can tell you for sure that my brother and sister both have diaper bags about this size (infants and toddler each). You should be able to carry a sufficient amount of parental gear in it

    I was close to buying the Synik 22 but I think the lack of breathability sounds like a dealbreaker for me. Any suggestions for a EDC backpack that could also be used as a carry on and travel bag (for hours on the back at a time) that has good breathability? The only option I've come across is the Osprey Parsec 26 (which is getting bigger than I wanted to have). Thanks.

    • @DaveSam13
      @DaveSam13  Рік тому +2

      I think of breathability is your main focus you’ll want to go with a hiking bag from Osprey, fjallraven, etc.. For tech/edc I’ve always liked the black ember shadow as well as the bags from evergoods. And to be clear, the Synik is an EPIC bag to use on the daily

    Hi great review amongst all the synik reviews I have come across. One question ❓ can we fit a pair of shoes or flip-flops in that bottom compartment? Do let me know . Thanks n good luck 👍🏻🙏

    • @DaveSam13
      @DaveSam13  2 роки тому +1

      Thank you!! I’d say on the 22L it would be very hard because of the available width, for a shoe. Flip flops should be fine and I’d say max size of about 10-11. Hope that helps!
