Sindrome
a large bag with bike specific features
Sindrome got his name through suffering from middle child sindrome. Yes, he is the poor bag stuck in the middle of the range. Not as cute as his baby brother Papermunky; nor as fully grown as his older brother Elephantitus who has already developed a 2nd shoulder strap. But Sindrome is still fully capable of hauling a serious load; just not as much as his stronger, bigger bro. That being said, Sindrome is popular due to his functional size and full range of cycling features. The girls don’t like him much yet – but just you wait.
Design:
The sindrome is built to haul all your daily gear, while still being a manageable size. It can fit a3 folders, swallows a carton of Bundy stubbies all with room to spare for a goon sack. The padded strap is removable so no matter how much you sweat carrying a heavy load, you can still get it smelling fresh as a daisy. As with all our bags, it's features are customisable.

I changed from my (other bag company) bag to my BOgear Sindrome a couple of years ago and the difference it made was huge.
I was able to carry an archive box, still have room to squeeze in about another 4 lawyers briefs and not totally destroy all the other detritus that lives in my work bag on the days where we were given ludicrous amounts to carry (plus an archive on the bars, any ideas for a front rack??). This was all so much more than I had been able to take when using my (other bag company) bag as I was still able to put the top down with the straps fully extended and lash other items to the outside of the bag.
The padding on the mono strap was sufficient that I did not feel like I was carrying rolls of lead with cheese-wire even when FULLY loaded, it was comfortable and could be fitted snugly to my back even when waggling around in peak hour traffic. The waterproofing works superbly as here in the tropics we are subject to many a summer soaking, work does not stop when the sunshine does.
I loved the main straps lengthening/shortening system as I was able to: lengthen, swing bag around, open, remove item, close, swing bag back, shorten, clip back in all in about 3 seconds. The secret pocket has been useful on many occasions and the other pockets are so cavernous that I am finding loose change in them still to this day.
All in all a great product, well done BOgear.

Thanks for the bag. It all arrived promptly on the Friday and I've had a couple of weeks of getting to know it - it's a cracker!
The only problem is finding things to fill it out when I carry it! It's huge!
I appreciate your service and prompt delivery very much - all the best with the business.

I'm stoked with the sindrome bag I bought a month or two back. It's perfect for my commute and really does carry a carton.
On a trip home from Wallaby Creek Festy, near Cooktown, my sindrome went with me. On the trip home, exhaustion and a hangover set in and the back of the ute was left open when we left camp....the bag, stuffed mainly with dirty clothes but also a MacPro (the metal cased one), was the only thing to go. Off the back and UNDER the 4WD trailer we had behind. We fairly quickly noticed, backtracked and retrieved it. Sindrome was happily waiting in the middle of the Bloomfield track, verrrrrry dusty but otherwise unscathed. Really unscathed - I can't find any permanent damage. None.
Seeing the condition of the bag, I didn't rush to pull out the computer for a geez. This morning I discovered one bent around Mac it'd clearly gone right under the wheels of the trailer. The entire metal casing had been bent around 30deg.
The bag was only closed with velcro, and held it's guts as it went under 3 wheels. The canvas, clips and straps aren't even scratched. Nice work!
