WTS Synik 30 Black Ballistic / Moab $285

Selling a Synik 30 in ballistic black and moab halcyon with blackout label. Hardly used with the zippers still needing broke in. Some slight marks on the front consistent with what I've seen from other Tom Bihn dark colored ballistic. Frame sheet, sternum strap, hip belt, and key strap included.

Asking $285 shipped CONUS. Actual shipping anywhere else. Please let me know if you have any questions or would like to see additional photos. Open to offers as well. Thanks.

Does anyone else accessorize their TB?

I may be 40 and have back pain but I'm going to be stylish one way or another.

Specton vs Ballistic

Hello,
I’m looking at getting a synapse 25 backpack and was curious if Spector or Ballistic is the better choice and why?
Also looking to see what a better inner material would be to pair with outer -210 Cerylon vs 200 Halcyon
Has anyone seen any differences in how the outer material stretches with books in the bag?

Thank you!

Internal structure for Side Hustle?

I have a Side Hustle which I find to be the perfect size for EDC when I am traveling, but the floppiness of the internal organization is so frustrating! Often the bigger side pocket is the dominant space when I unzip it and the central space gets lost when the outer two external areas collapse inward, effectively closing the inner pocket altogether, and even when I’ve got some gear in the central space (e.g., larger flat wallet, water bottle laid in the bottom, folded stocking hat). Any ideas for how to improve this? I’d rather not have to purchase a bunch of smaller organizers to provide structure because I like the contents of the bag to be more easily accessible.

Resellers straight smoking crack these days?

I've made a few reasonable offers ($185) on a NW/Moab makers bag on Ebay. Doesn't even have tags. The seller declined, ran it down, and instead re-listed for $45 more than the previous listing price. It's been up for six months already, so whew lad.

I mean, yeah, discontinued fabric - that's cool, but is there anyone out there actually paying this kind of batshit pricing? Like, I mean, at $265 - $285 USD without even bothering to include an absolute strap - stuff like this is basically just going to sit there for years until the scalper gets bored right?

Including the $60 in shipping, a classic Ebay overcharge, the listed pricing would be almost $650 NZD - which is like double the cost of locally commissioning a fully custom bag in my own fabric and colors at that point hahaha. No color combo is worth an 80% markup over retail for a production line knitting bag, certainly not in this economy!

Please tell me nobody is actually paying those kinds of prices for this stuff, I need some faith in humanity restored here.

WTS> Bunch of bags

Shipping included in the CONUS, Venmo or an extra 4% for Paypal Goods and Services. Everything will ship in poly mailer(s) unless stated otherwise. Please state you’re DMing me here first before messaging me on Reddit: Trying to keep this objective as a sales post but feel free to ask my reasons for reselling these, I like to yap about my opinions.

❌ NWT 630d Burnt Orange/Mountain Grey Trinity $360 sold to u/svengastic

  • Catch and release. Impulse bought it for the price/condition but already knew upon looking at it in person I had no use case for it. Will ship in the TB box.

🟢EUC Nightwalk/NWS Le Grand Derriere $150 Washed and cleaned.

  • No foam padding on the back, whitening on the corners of the bag but no delamination I have modified the bag with a Woojin magnetic magic buckle, I accidentally nicked the strap when removing the original buckle but it shouldn’t cause any wear and tear. I added little paracord loops on the back thinking I could use the empty space where the padding used to be as a hidden slip pocket for pouches. This mod is basically invisible/you won’t feel it.

🟢 EUC 550d Mars Red/NWS Co-Pilot $135 Washed and cleaned.

  • A couple marks on the front and bottom exterior in certain lighting, I have taken photos of the most obvious. Previous owner has modded it with four 1 inch tabs in an attempt to use backpack straps on it.

🟢 VGUC Black Halcyon/Wasabi Synapse 19 + EUC Wasabi Clear 3DOC+ NWOT 3rd party Waykit Flexframe insert bundled together for $270

  • Barely there scruffs throughout. Third iteration of the bound straps (2” apart) before edgeless straps. Stiffer Aquaguard zippers for both the s19 and 3doc. The 210d ballistic side panels have completely delaminated, although I washed/scrubbed most of it off. Still needs to be washed again. The center small pocket zipper flap is beginning to yellow, no halcyon delamination elsewhere so far.

❌ EUC Black/NWS Side Hustle with black out label $65 Washed and cleaned sold to u/roboloboski

  • Basically like new.

🟢 Horizontal Cache with fold over flap VGUC $25 Washed and cleaned

  • Label is worn (Starts with “N”) but after measuring it it has the same dimensions as 13D (11x8”)

🟢EUC Moss medium Yarn Sack (clear bottom) $25

🟢 EUC Solaris small travel tray $30

❌ VGUC Gray parapack all fabric 3DOC $20 sold to u/lizard_doctor

  • The plastic hook is missing, and I have scrubbed off 95% of the delaminated urethane coating inside. It has reverse Aquaguard zippers.

🟢 GUC 1050d Forest/Wasabi Swift $70 Washed

  • Two barely there scruffs on the exterior. Selling at a loss: upon washing the bag the wasabi is fine/all marks cleaned off, but the ballistic interior is delaminating in small flakes, and it is too much of a hassle for me to thoroughly strip :\ Someone else can attempt or use it as a beater bag

Trade for VGUC and better Nightwalk/NWS Co-pilot or Aubergine/Seafoam NFTD, will entertain bags with seafoam interiors. Will share more photos if serious.

  • 🟢 EUC Nightwalker/Tidal OSCA
  • 🟢 EUC Olive/Dawn DLBP with the old seatbelt straps
  • Showing signs of whitening and delamination under the zippers
  • 🟢EUC 1050d Aubergine Mini Yeoman
  • 🟢 VGUC 1050d Aubergine/Wasabi Co-Pilot
