I gave the Nomatic 40L to my college aged son who -breaks everything- He loves the bag, and he has been unable to break it in several years of use. It is heavy but it delivers.
We had at one point three Tom Bihn Synik 30s in the family. Now we have zero. They worked okay, were very durable, but always just carried weirdly. Like a saggy diaper. Thankfully they resell readily to the TB cult members.
I remain thrilled with the performance of my $80 on sale Osprey last generation Transporter 30L. Works great as EDC bag, hiking, walking to work, travel bag. I bought two to have a spare since they changed the design.
