This is my reservation with using Tom Bihn bags for hiking -- they don't seem to specialty accommodate a CamelBak water bladder. I find having that drinkable straw readily accessible without having...

The TLDR of Darcy's post is: We kick too much ass and made a product that too many people are excited about. We'll try to do better for you international folk. Learning experience. Never give up,...

UPDATE: In Chase Reeves' review of the Synik, he carries his 15" MacBook Pro in the mesh compartment of the Synik 22. Chase says at 18 minutes 30 seconds in:



So a 15" laptop on the smaller end...

No, the Dell Latitude 3590 at 14.96" x 10.16" x 0.89" will not fit in the built-in compartment. The Synik FAQ says:

"Maximum device dimensions for both the external and internal laptop compartment...

Just going by the picture you posted, I'd pick Aubergine. Matches better with that coat.

Tossed logic out the window, huh? ;) Kidding, hope you love your new bag. Do you plan on getting a Cache for your HP Elitebook, since it doesn't fit into the S22's built-in laptop compartment?

I...

I'm in a similar boat, in that my 15.6" gaming laptop does not fit into the Synik 30, so I am forced to use a Cache 15A, and the built-in laptop compartment is largely wasted for me. But I understand...

The schedule information does not list when the Synik will appear as an in-stock item, but perhaps in November or so, after the pre-orders ship?

bartleby, you're the best lol. Thank you for making the perfect videos to answer our inquiry. Out of curiosity, what do you study? You have an impressive book collection behind you.

Cache

If you need to carry two laptops or devices, one can fit in the built-in laptop compartment and the other could fit in a Cache that’s stowed in the main...

I too would like to know if the stiffer fabric of the Ballistic 525 makes it easier to unzip the bag one-handed compared to Parapack. I've read some anecdotal reports of users preferring Ballistic...

No, there will not be. From the Synik FAQ:

"Do you ever have sales or coupons?

We don’t. As a small design house and manufacturer — our offices, shipping, customer service as well as our...

I noticed this on my iPhone with Safari browser as well. If you tap and hold a color choice icon, a pop up will show with the full color and fabric name. But I agree with you that it's more difficult...

A suggestion to the Tom Bihn web designers -- currently, when I select a new color, it resets the photo shown to the first photo. This is inconvenient because I find the 3rd photo (the side view that...

Hah, that's exactly the decision I was deciding between - the softness and deeper blue luminescence of Navy Parapack, or the fantastic color combo of the Guide's Edition Deep Blue / Coyote (Darcy...

You might also like Cristina's review of the Synik 30. Lots of great photos showing how it fits with small A30 laundry cubes, Eagle Creek compression cubes, mesh 3D organizer cube, and others.

Fantastic review and very pertinent to my upcoming decision of choosing Parapack or Ballistic. I received material samples from Tom Bihn, and it made an impression on how soft the Parapack feels. Is...

Darcy gave the dimensions of the laptop compartment earlier in the thread:

Wonderful review with great photos. Thank you for showing all the organizational bags and the way they fit in the Synik 30. It helps me a lot as a future first time Tom Bihn owner with the Synik 30...

Thank you imagineez for the extremely thorough photo review. Since the Brain Bag Freudian Slip fits in the Synik 30, would you recommend using a S25 Freudian Slip or Brain Bag Freudian Slip? While...

Darcy, sorry for making you repeat on this subject, but I'm not sure what you mean by your paragraph. Is a Guide's Edition Synik planned for next year? I love the Guide's Edition Synapse Deep Blue /...

Darcy, thank you very much for answering my questions about the Cache 15A fitting in the Synik 30. I plan to pre-order a Synik 30.

Will a Cache 15A and a Synik 30 Freudian Slip both fit...

1. Will a Cache 15A work well in either Synik 22 or 30? My 15.6" gaming laptop (Lenovo Y540) is too big for the Synik's built-in laptop compartment. My laptop dimensions are 14.25" x 10.5625" x...
