Darcy,
You mentioned that you saw a prototype of the larger version of the Synapse. Can you tell us how big it will be? And is there an approximate release date yet? I have a new indigo Brain Bag and I'm trying to decide whether to keep it, exchange for one in plum, or return it and wait for the release of the new larger version of the Synapse. I like the Brain Bag, but I love my Synapse and would be so happy to have a larger version too.
Does that mean we won't be able to buy the smaller one once the larger one is released? The small size is the main reason I want to buy a Synapse (but waiting for my colour preference to be in stock).
Don't worry: the current sized Synapse is here to stay. The new larger version will be offered in addition to the current size. Who knows, you might even see a *smaller* Synapse someday as well.
As far as release dates, dimensions, or any other details about the larger version: I don't have those yet. When I do, I'll definitely share them with you guys!
is there any chance that the larger synapse might be offered in ballistic? (or, heck, even the regular/current synapse?)
i love my indigo synapse, but sweet cracker sandwich, does it ever pick up cat hair! ...and while i really like dyneema accessories, i'm not sure that i'm especially wild about it as an exterior fabric.
This leaves me in quite the bind. I definitely need something larger than my Synapse. Ideally that would be a larger version of it, but I don't know if it's reasonable to wait. :(Quote:

Count me in for a smaller Synapse & Aeronaut!
Darcy, how long does TB usually test a prototype bag? And is there any relation from the time the prototype is developed until it is available for purchase? Thanks.Quote:

Soon I hope! I love my Synapse but would love a bigger version. I wanna sign up!
A larger Synapse would be most excellent! :)
A larger Synapse - might be interesting..... might it open clam shell-wise to facilitate packing? Personally I like the notion of an open wide/flat backpack with roughly the capacity of a Smart Alec - kind of like a go ruck gr1. (Maybe this should be in the 2013 wishlist!)
Have you given the Western Flyer a good look? Obviously very different from a GR1 (and Synapse), but it is a Smart Alec sized backpack that opens wide for easy packing.Quote:

A WF size bag with the exterior pockets of the Synapse would be ideal for me.Quote:
