There are many many Synapse 19 vs 25 threads out there. But somehow still couldn’t find an answer, so apologies in advance.
I currently have a S19 and think it’s awesome. I’m a woman who’s 5ft 6 or 5 ft 7 and about 150lbs. I think the bag sits well on me. BUT I’ve had it for almost 4 years and there are days when I feel like a turtle. When it gets overstuffed. It happens if I stop and get groceries, or if I have to go to a meeting which isn’t in my office. So not an everyday thing but also not out of the ordinary for me having to need to stuff my bag.
However, I recently purchased a Daylight Backpack in ballistic (if that matters). It hasn’t arrived yet (and I live in the UK and chose USPS so it may take forever - so I’m relying on others views right now). I got it for weekends/groceries/walks and envisaged keeping my s19 as my EDC.
However, I also decided the next time a friend comes from the US I’ll buy myself a new black synapse (in a corporate environment the orange codura doesn’t go).
But I’ve been thinking - when I replace it should I get a 25 or a 19? I can’t keep both (my husband will disown me!) I don’t want a massive bag. I had a massive one in the past but it was one of those ones you got from IT. It may have been Targus. Wasn’t great.
I’ve read some people believe the 25 is too much for EDC. But some think it’s great for EDC. Can the Daylight also work as EDC?
Thoughts?
