Deciding on EDC bag.. looking at the synapse 25 and 19

[egodrunk]

I'm 5'5" and 145lbs with a wide upper back, but slim torso. I'm deciding between the S19 and S25. Other than being my edc bag, I will also bring this bag as my daypack for traveling and short day hikes.

Here's what I carry every single day:
- Gym shoes (fairly bulky/heavy lifting shoes Nike Romaleos)
- Knee sleeves
- Shorts, socks, compression shorts, tank top, t-shirt
- Small umbrella
- Water bottle
- Wallet
- Cell phone charger
- External Battery charger
- Pack of gum
- Small lock
- Lunch container (27oz)

I want to be able to carry all this, with a little bit of room to spare so that it doesn't have that really stuffed look, but I also don't want the bag to look like it's too big on me (S25). I've tried on the GR1 26l and it seemed to look fine on my back. I like to carry my backpacks fairly high up on my back also.

I'd go for the Synapse 25. Shoes, even small ones, take up a lot of space in the 19. Though it's doable. I'm smaller than you, and the 25 isn't too big on me.

Do you happen to have a picture? There should be a thread solely dedicated to people posting their height and weight and pictures of them wearing their bags...

I did, but it's still hard for me to tell since the people that are my height, are females with slimmer frames than I have.
