Very helpful. Thanks, everyone.
I haven’t 100% decided on the Synic 22 yet. I’m seriously considering one bag travel. I also carry camera gear, which complicates things a bit. Just getting tired of schlepping two bags.
I have a trip to Western Canada next year, so may order the Synic without any pouches or cubes. When we’re in Vancouver (or Victoria) we may do a side trip to Seattle. That way, I can see all the pouch/cube options. I’ll need time to figure out what I need/don’t need.
