Hey all, I’m looking to get my first Tom Bihn bag and I’ve been stuck between the Synik 26 or 30 and the Synapse 25, which appears to be a relatively common issue. I’ve read through multiple previous posts/opinions but wanted to see if there’s any specific input.

I’m a 5’11” male. The use for the backpack is going to be primarily city day trips and amusement parks with a toddler along with flying about 2-3 times per year. I do often carry a 15” laptop while traveling. I want to avoid an oversized bag, leaning away from the 30 for that reason, but was not sure if based on height that it really isn’t that big. To note, zipper being difficult at times does not bother me.

Thank you to anyone who takes the time comment
