I forgot to mention a couple of things about the shoulder straps. Quite impressive that the strap extends down past the buckles so they don't rest against your body. Maybe other high-end bags do...

Thanks, Laura! I have an iPad from work, but have yet to find much real use for it, so I don't take it anywhere. I hardly ever touch it actually. I just think that it could get in the way when...

Not as exciting as Laura's story, but I my Synapse and Matterhorn bottle came the other day. Black/Iberian. It's really nice. Iberian interior was the only black available, so I went for it and I...

It arrived yesterday. Pictures of what? It's just the Synapse. :)

Many many thanks to Mr. jmachats for meeting up with me yesterday so I could check out the Synapse and Smart Alec. I was thrilled to find out that the Synapse will fit what I generally need, so I'm...

I know there are older threads on this, but I would like to bring it up again. I play electric bass guitar and live in NYC, which means subways and such. The only really nice super-protective...

Thanks! Private message sent.

Thanks for the reply. I wouldn't be running with it. I have an Inov-8 backpack for that. It would just be to stash my stuff while I'm out running and then to carry home.

Hi there. I live in NYC and love the idea of the size and setup of the Synapse. In general I think it would be perfect, but I'm a runner and one thing I'd be using it for is carrying my running...
