Hi ashmore

I haven't flown to Europe in a while, but if you underpack a touch, should be fine, hopefully someone will chime in. The Synapses & Syniks generally look smaller than they actually are.

and Welcome to the Forums!

oooh, what was in the order you picked up? :)

Between having attachment points that don't stress the bag and access to pockets, I can see why they didn't put a handle on either long side and why it's an issue across the top short side, the way the hatch/U top pocket is done.

Welcome to the Forums! Thanks for delurking...

The overall length of the bag is 15.9" which is basically the same as the Synapse 19 at 16", but the straps are different. I wear the Cambiata mostly at the absolute shortest strap length and I'm 5'4".

Torso length is key here... the lady in the Packhacker review is 2"...

Sorry, this is a long post of mostly words... TL/DR: I still like the Cambiata and the new Gatekeeper/Clip accessory is dandy



I just returned from a hectic 5 day work trip to several cities in Mexico that involved hours and hours in cars & planes and extensive walking;...

It was an exhausting but very successful work trip! None of the rest of those bags are mine, only the Cambiata :)...

Welcome to the Forums jpinnix

To the best of my knowledge it has always had the pockets as a Daylight Backpack sold by Tom Bihn.

However, they did make a defeatured version for the World Domination Summit swag years ago, see this post from moriond that mentions no pockets (note...

Welcome to the Forums!

I use Small Snake Charmer in the lower chin pocket

I used the inside triangle clip to hang a medium YSS to the plane seat pocket

moriond I don't even remember where I was in 2014; the fact that you can remember where/when to search old Forum posts is amazing, though I'm sorry it takes so long

I think it's partly the visual...BB looks like an obvious backpack. The Techos look like a bag you happen to be carrying on your back.
I find the BB pocket configuration easy and useful to work out of. The two divided main compartments work for me, especially with the ability to cinch the pack...

[G42]

I haven't used the T30 as an everyday bag, it feels like luggage to me. I use the BB when I carry that much as EDC.

Welcome to the Forums jbullock35 !

That's an interesting idea... I don't personally see super ultralight fitting into the TB model, but you never know where they might go as they find new materials.

[G42]

Ack, sorry!
I'm definitely not going to tell you then, that both sizes of Zest and Fjord Spiff Kits are In Production too 😉...
