Oh dear! I spent the weekend convincing myself that I don’t need a Paragon...now I have to have one! How to decide which one!

Are you crazy !? How will I resist the Guide's edition Wilderness TAT
Awesome
just a Bihnion here
Ah, it looks like the lash points on the bottom have been removed from the prototype showed previously according to the description! I really, really wanted those two bottom lash points. They would have added a lot of functionality to the design.
Synapse 19 (Burnt orange/Steel) | Side Kick (Deep blue/Wasabi) | Side Effect (Nordic/Wasabi) | Travel Cubelet (Burnt orange/Northwest sky)
I was originally thinking the same thing, but I find myself instead being drawn to the Black, with the blacked out label.
I'm also very intrigued by Taiga, and can see an argument for having a simple halcyon version. Will the real Taiga please stand up? Is it yellowish light brown, sage green, light green, oddly grey? The pics are all over the place.Also, where's the Tidal version?

I like all the blues and greys...and all the happy citrus colours too! My search unicorn is the Sapphire Dyneema original Small Shop Bag...
Wilderness/Coyote is fantastic, I have it on my GE Synapse and it just looks so good. That being said, I think Ursa is my absolute favorite color Tom Bihn does right now, it really seems to go with everything. Darcy, is there a chance of the regular non-Guide edition Paragon getting an Ursa colorway in a future batch? I'd love to see it with Halcyon linings that aren't Northwest Sky.

Guide's Edition Synapse 25, Pilot, HLT2
I really like the look of this! Kinda a more robust version of the day lite backpack - something I was actually thinking I would really love, and the green guides edition looks incredible.
@Darcy I noticed from the “street” pics of the DL Paragon that there is a gatekeeper waist strap attached to it, but it is omitted in the “included” product description. Will either versions have the waist strap included? Also, glad to see the lash straps included for the GE Paragon.
good catch @cinderblock
@Darcy - also missing the sternum strap for both versions
and does the GE get the 'leave no trace' tag?

The Guide's Edition Paragon page has been updated with a new description and some new photos!
Nice spotting that! Both Paragons will have the usual included waist and sternum straps.
We won't be including lash straps with the GE Paragon, though... sorry for the mix-up there!
Yes! The LNT tag will be included in the GE Paragon.
Have a question? @Darcy (to make sure I see it)
Current carry: testing new potential materials in the form of Original Large Shop Bags.
What's the size of the laptop shown in the pics? Just curious how various size laptops will look and fit in the pocket.
