Size
Osprey syncro 20
It was the perfect size, had just enough room for both active pursuits and commuting necessities (e.g. laptop), and the side pockets fit my Nalgene. Everything on that pack was in a place that my brain expected it to be in, within reach and without fuss
Zipper

BUT, they took away the double/two-sided zipper from all of the pockets and while it was a small change, I definitely notice a difference and "fumble" with this pack a lot more. I used to be able to comfortably reach behind me and slip my Nalgene into the side pocket, and now not only can I not do that because of the pocket redesign and sizing, they don't come close to fitting a Nalgene (and carrying/refilling a bladder everywhere isn't practical). The front pocket, since it only has one zipper, flops open and everything falls out. With the two zipper system, I could control the size of the opening
Commute
Osprey syncro 20
I absolutely love this pack. I recently switched to commuting by bicycle to work every day and I needed a compact pack that could fit a change of clothes, iPad, etc. I have a larger Osprey backpack and am addicted to the "airspeed" mesh backing that keeps the pack from resting directly on your back. Instead there is always a buffer that air can pass through
