Tom Bihn Synapse 25

The Synapse 25 delivers 25 liters of organized capacity, with five exterior pockets that keep everyday items within easy reach and a half-zip main compartment for intuitive packing. Built-in Cache loops allow you to attach a laptop sleeve or accessories securely, and nine internal O-rings keep smaller items tethered without rummaging. The design also emphasizes comfort: edgeless, cushioned shoulder straps and a breathable back panel, plus a layout that moves seamlessly from daily commuting to weekend travel and fits under the plane seat for easy on-the-go use. It can carry a laptop up to 16 inches via the Cache system, balancing access with protection. Made in Seattle, WA, USA, the Synapse 25 embodies Tom Bihn’s American manufacturing ethos, with the product page listing the bag as Made In: Seattle, WA, USA. This domestic craftsmanship is reinforced in Tom Bihn’s storytelling about the bag, including a blog post that shows a partially constructed Synapse 25 at the TOM BIHN factory, underscoring its American-built heritage. The Synapse 25 also highlights bluesign-certified materials (exterior 630 denier Ballistic or XPac and interior Halcyon) and is backed by a lifetime guarantee and 60-day returns, signaling confidence in its durability and long-term craftsmanship.
