The Synapse backpack: Q & A
Collapse

-
The answers to those questions (and many more) are not far off.
I used the Synapse again recently (on a long snowshoe hike). It's so comfortable, and the pockets are so incredibly useful.
The exterior of the Synapse will be 1000 denier Cordura so possible colors are: Plum, Black, Steel, Navy, Kelly, Olive, Pink, Storm, Crimson, Cocoa, Sapphire.Have a question? @Darcy (to make sure I see it)

I just don't like the combinations (for example, I really like steel, but I don't like steel combined with any color but black).
As for dimensions/volume:
I tend to agree about the solid colors, although I think it depends on the backpack design. The 2 colors on the Smart Alec makes sense to me, and having a multi-colored Buzz grew on me, b/c the design does lend itself well to the multiple colors (mine is black, steel, & red; I had wanted just black & steel but it wasn't in stock).
With an upper & lower pocket the way the volume explanation describes, it sounds like the Synapse might be better suited to a single color though (or a single exterior color with a different, lighter interior, like some of the bags have). And I'm kind-of a sucker for Cocoa -- never regretted that color choice for my Cafe Bag, and it might very well be my choice for the Synapse, although I'll have to wait to see pictures. I guess I like kind-of boring colorsBut mostly that's b/c I feel like I'm already pushing things casual-wise carrying a backpack to work, so having a fairly basic color is important.

I love the Cocoa too, but I think I'd like a new color this time because I use my Cocoa Imago everyday.Owner of:

The Synapse may or may not be lined with Dyneema.Have a question? @Darcy (to make sure I see it)

Hm. I'd prefer it to not be lined with Dyneema because I don't like the look, but I'm assuming that if you guys do that, you'll have good enough reason to that I'll accept it =)Owner of:
