Think of our Cubelet as a relative of the 3D Organizer Cube . . . a close relative, as in adorable younger sibling . Clearly useful as an interior organizer (it nicely contains a laptop power brick), we’re also pretty certain some folks will also use it as an ultra-simple, über-tiny over-the-shoulder bag. Inside, it's as simple as it gets: no pockets or O-rings. Two exterior O-rings allow you to tether it inside your larger bag or pack, using one of our various colors and sizes of Key Straps .

The Guide's Edition Synapse 25 takes all of the same clever features, bountiful organization, and top-shelf build of the original Synapse 25 and walks it all a bit further up into the mountains, a bit deeper into the woods. Rather than the all-too-common black zippers, hardware and webbing, the Guide's Edition Synapse 25 has gone terrestrial: it’s trimmed and lined in Coyote brown. The resulting aesthetic might be taken as an homage to another time; but to our sensibilities, bags trimmed in Coyote seem to be a little more at home in the great outdoors.

Dual-sided mesh pouch—taming your snakes... we mean cords. A handy organizer pouch with two mesh-sided compartments. Originally designed to utilize the space above our Horizontal Brain Cell laptop case inside of the Brain Bag backpack , over time the Snake Charmer has become hugely popular with folks who have neither. The Snake Charmer has two separate compartments with #5 YKK zippers; both sides of the Snake Charmer are heavy-weight mesh, allowing you to easily see what's inside.
