Synik 22 / 30 Questions & Answers

[Jeffon]

Thank you! Or as they say down here... Cheers!

400d Halcyon/420d nylon ripstop exterior / 200d Halcyon lining
Synik 22: 2 lb 7.9 oz / 1130 grams
Synik 30: 2 lb 13.7 oz / 1295 grams



This is exciting as every ounce lighter makes me happy with my 7kg limit. The compression straps inside can be removed? They must weigh at least one ounce? (I only wish I were joking about this)

If you're really chasing ounces, you can remove the internal compression/tie down straps; the waist strap; the sternum strap; and the frame (but it affects how the laptop is suspended). You can also snip off the metal pull tabs and only use cord.

Hi Everyone,

Just letting you all know I posted my initial review in the Photos, Videos, Reviews section. It is titled “Synik 30 Review: The New Pack For You?

It felt like a big huge brainstorming session to figure out this bag through pics and different packing strategies and comparisons to other Tom Bihn bags.

Happy to answer any questions!

We originally planned to offer a Guide’s Edition Synik, but then we decide to move forward and approve lab dips of our 525d ballistic in Coyote (couldn’t help it: it just looks great). Having 525d in Coyote means we could make “full Coyote” Guide’s Edition bags and we figured it would be best to wait until we could offer that combination…. and that’ll probably be early next year.

Darcy, sorry for making you repeat on this subject, but I'm not sure what you mean by your paragraph. Is a Guide's Edition Synik planned for next year? I love the Guide's Edition Synapse Deep Blue / Coyote and would love to get a Synik of that color combo. I see that one of the Synik pre-order colors is "Deep Blue 525 Ballistic/Coyote 210 Ballistic" but I presume that one has black zippers instead of coyote colored zippers?

Am planning a factory visit the first week of November...is it possible to pre-order and have them picked up from the factory myself, rather than waiting for it to be shipped to me in Singapore?

I'd like do the same if I could...
directly ask to TB : emailus@tombihn.com

Hi. I have the Mars Red version of the Synik 22 and I did a video review here:

Enjoy.



That’s my mom with my new Synik 22. And Marc’s new mini Yeoman that came with my own shipment.

Thank you so much for your comprehensive video review! Bonus added for the cute picture of your Mom with 2 TB Bags.

Would you mind posting pictures of the PCBP and the Daylight Briefcase inside the Synik 22?

Is the main compartment zip on the Synik chunkier than the one used on the synapses? I'm thinking of the S19 here since that's what I have.
It looks bigger in the photos.
How does the zip size on the new bag compare to the sizes used on other TB bags in the same size range e.g. Western Flyer, Smart Alec, A30?
Reason I ask is that the Western Flyer has a super chunky zip which is ok if the bag is ballistic but seemed a bit heavy for the halcyon fabric (which is why I switched to ballistic, well that and the Nordic colour wasn't really me ).
I'm thinking ballistic for the S22 anyway because of the colours available, so maybe it doesn't matter, but I was wondering.

I'm pretty sad that the Synik 22 can't accommodate a MacBook Pro 15 😭

I have a 24oz hydro flask. Its 12 inches long. Will it fit in the synik 22?

Did any reviewers get a Parapack version? Or a Halcyon version?

Would really love to see Parapack pictures!

Same. Saw that one was posted in the Facebook group but haven’t seen a review posted here.

I know that at least one reviewer has a Navy Parapack Synik! I got to see it last weekend and I loved how the parapack seemed to glow. (I'm going to be reviewing a Synik 22 in Nebulous Gray Ballistic/Island Halcyon, which is also a very pretty combination.)
