The Synapse 25 is the best backpack ever made. It's perfect for minimalist one bag travel, as well as my EDC.

I machine wash my S25 twice a year and it comes out brand new every time. I don't know if doing that removes whatever protective coating was on it, but it doesn't matter because I'm so hard on the...

Merino wool everything has really helped me turn into an ultra minimalist traveler. Just spent ten days in London, packed three merino wool shirts, two pairs of MW underwear and two pairs of MW...

I'm a minimalist traveler, both for work and vacation. The NF was perfect for me. My original bag got ruined last year and I never see any on ebay. It sucks, it was a great bag.

Can't you just compare them side by side?

My S25 only, whether it's for work or pleasure. Short term or long term.

My company just moved to polyester (the under armor/dry fit/golf type shirts) for the company shirts and they want us to wear them on the road. Up until now I packed cotton or merino wool, and could...

Does anyone else have issues with Tapatalk not properly updating the bihn forums?

The S25 is my daily carry. It might seem just a tad big for the stuff I carry (typical stuff: chargers, cords, kindle, pens, etc) but so many times I need to carry something else, food or whatever,...

That thread is funny. I travel 200 days a year with just the synapse 25. Granted, I work on machines and don't have to wear a suit, but I fit everything I need and fully stuffed it still fits under...

My S25 has been with me on multiple continents, all over the US. It's my one bag travel and my daily carry. It get tossed under airplane seats and in the back of my truck. It looks a little...

I fly about ten times a month and even when Pre Check is closed, I never take my liquids out. Every airport in the world has signs that say to take out the liquids, but nobody does and nobody cares....

Mars red is too close to Sooner red :)

I forgot to add what prompted this post. The new frame for the Synapse. No framing on the back was the one thing that was keeping the bag from being perfect. It was lumpy and uncomfortable. But I...

I travel a lot and use my Synapse 25 as my only bag and there is simply no better travel bag, not if you want a day bag as well. I have spent hundreds and hundreds, maybe close to a thousand on bags...

A fully stuffed synapse 25 will fit under the seat of every airplane I've been on.

OK i got both ends in and it appears the frame in installed. I bent the right t bar and I hope it goes back to shape. I'm going to try to upload a quick video and someone can tell me if it was it...

I'm trying to upload an 18 kb jpg file and am getting an invalid file type error. What do I do?

I resized it and it now it says invalid file. It's only 18kb and still won't upload. ugh.

So I got the frame last week and it is not like how it is in the video. It looks like it's supposed to unvelcro and lift up so you can take the t bar out, but when I lift the velcro it's sewn to...

Just ordered a burnt orange S25. Debated for months between this or A30, both are big enough for my travel needs. Also a one bag traveler.

For the Burnt Orange A30 to be finished already.
