    Guide's Edition Synik 22
    Rated 5 out of 5 stars
    Every day with a rare, unique appearance

    I love this pack for EDC, but better is the fact that this is quite unusual and no-one will have a similar. The green and camel combo is my ideal and has that rustic feel. Love it and grab these limited editions when you can!
