Tom Bihn Synapse 25 Review

Review of the Tom Bihn Synapse 25 which is a popular edc and minimal travel bag that offers a solid build quality, tons of space, and a really great organizational layout. I wasn’t super crazy about the harness system and I wish the bag included a laptop sleeve given it’s higher price point, but overall I can see why this has become so popular over the years.

Pros: 

• Awesome organizational layout with multiple useful pockets that provide plenty of space
• Main compartment can hold an impressive amount of stuff
• Great build quality 
• Cool ecosystem of accessories to allow you to tweak the bag to your needs

Cons: 

• Lacks an included laptop sleeve / frame sheet
• No side water bottle pockets
• Back panel does not have much elevation for airflow
