Tom Bihn Synapse 19 Backpack Review

This is a review of Tom Bihn's Synapse 19 Backpack. This is a high quality backpack available at tombihn.com. Tons of uses from an everyday carry for work or play and can also be used as a camera bag.

Thank you! Your review is the best one I've seen. Very useful information.

As a small woman (5 ft, 100 pounds), I am generally leery of backpacks because they are almost always too long for my torso. So I appreciate that you modeled the Synapse 19 - very reassuring to see that the pack should indeed fit me. And, wow, it holds a ton of stuff. Many thanks and well done!

Good review! I liked how you showed the depth of all the pockets. I think I'm going to buy the S19.

Glad you liked the review Laura. You won't be disappointed with this bag, no matter which size you buy. Tom Bihn is the best!

Thank you! this was a great review. I think I'll go for the 19 litre one as well :)

nice review, question, in the thicker material available I have heard that one pocket with stuff in it does not encroach on other pockets like most back packs do. do you find the same is true for the material yours is made of?

Nice review. Should this bag replace Think Tank Perception Pro?

[@victoriadiaz6356]

Weiyan - This Tom Bihn Bag is not a replacement for the Think Tank Perception Pro - they are two completely different bags. The Synapse is not a true camera bag and as such, does not have any padding except on the back panel and there are no compartments on the inside of the bag for camera gear. You would need to use inserts to use it as a camera bag. The Think Tank has compartments built in specifically for holding your gear and is a larger bag overall. Hope this helps. Let me know if you have further questions.

Thank you. Very nice review. Did you have a chance to try Tenba BYOB 10 before deciding on BYOB 9? Was BYOB 10 too big for the backpack?

[@PatriciaEstrada88]

How tall are you? I am trying to get an idea of just how big/small this bag is.

[@victoriadiaz6356]

I'm 5'5" tall.
