Maybe your torque wrench is/was broken? I'm sceptical that they are all created equal i.e. accurate.

that's bad luck, I have the same and suffered from slipping so clamped as hard as I could to stop slippage, with no damage to the seatpost. Synapse clamp may be different though.

@rogan stick with a thomson 25.4 seatpost, my hylix carbon one has a crack already where the clamp goes. I always use a torque wrench and i was torquing it at the recommended 5nm, I have the the wrench between 3-5nm and whilst tightening the clamp, the post cracked. >.> fml
Not sure if it's me fucking up, but I havent even gotten close to 5nm
