Hi there,
I'm thinking about ordering a Synapse 25 in halcyon. I'm debating whether or not to order a frame for it as well.
The Karimor bag I'm using now is about the same size. It seems to have some kind of reinforcement in its back - maybe plastic. No aluminum. Not inflexible. I wouldn't want or need anything stiffer or heavier in a bag of that size when I'm just using it for everyday carrying.
What I'm wondering is, what is the Synapse like without the frame? Does it not have anything keeping the backside more rigid to begin with?
And one more question? The Tom Bihn video about the frame sheets says that it is mainly used when using the waist strap. If I don't plan on using it – it doesn't look like it would help much anyway – would the frame be just added weight?
Thanks for any help with these questions.
