The Smart Alec 2.0 sits at the intersection of DIY spirit and modern pack design—versatile, spacious, and built for customization. It shares the same frame and capacity as the Synik 26 while offering a more open main compartment with fewer built-in elements, giving you room to make it your own.

The Smart Alec 2.0 at a glance:

• DIY Organization Master: 26 liters—primarily in the main compartment—with 6 o-rings inside to attach pouches and keep them easy to find
• Easy Laptop Access: Two-way entry to a padded laptop compartment that fits most 16" laptops—secured with a velcro tab to keep your laptop in place, even if the bag tips upside down. Your tech stays protected and easy to reach
• Grab-and-Go Essentials: Quick-access pockets on the sides and just under the lid
• A Traveler's Dream: Breathable skeleton back panel with a slot to slide your bag over your rolling luggage's handle
• Support If You Want It: Accommodates an optional, easy-to-install frame sheet to add structure and stiffness when you need it
• Flexible Modularity: Built-in low-profile loops and a removable bungee let you secure organizer bags via Gatekeepers—or stash items like a jacket, biking helmet, or tennis racket
