It's my first full day with my Synik 30 and I can already tell it's be best bag I've ever owned. As a professor, I usually only have a few things on me: my computer (16" MBP), a couple books, water bottle, coffee cup, some pens, and an umbrella -- and maybe some notebooks (but I didn't have those with me today) and of course all the dongles. I decided to see what it would be like to really load up the bag. So I grabbed the closest books I could find and threw them into the bag along with the normal things that carry ... plus the addition of a Cup-o-Noodle. There was still more space available. I probably could have added a light sweatshirt to the main compartment and a few odds and ends (my phone would have fit ... or a bottle of Tajin in the side pocket).
In the photos you'll see 19 average sized books, a HLT1 with dongles, random cables, and a lapel mic, a 16oz Contigo coffee cup, a 1L Hyrdoflask, 8 pens and pencils (obscured by the Contigo), an umbrella, a Cubelet with my Mac power brick inside, an assortment of personal care things (allergy meds, contact lenses and solution, tissues, medicine, teeth cleaners, a Tide stick), a couple of Ghost whales with random things inside (super mini and mini sized), and a bottle opener and AirTag connected to a key strap. And my Mac.
So, like ... not bad. If I needed to haul a load of books to/from the library or to/from home, this would totally do it. I am certain that my last bag (a TNF Surge, which is technically more voluminous) couldn't do this. And again, there was still some room to spare.
So if you're a grad student or professor or a particularly studious undergrad, this bag can totally work for you.
