Able Carry Daily Backpack Review
The Daily backpack from Able Carry is an affordable, sleek little bag for daily carry.
- Compact size — nice and tight, possibly a little too compact for me, however, which is weird because other bags this size carry with plenty of space for me.
- Solid organization — a nice collection of pockets thoughtfully placed.
- Not my favorite feel — the fabric feels cheap to me to the touch… it’s solid fabric, won’t let you down, but it feels cheap to my fingers. Not a deal breaker for many of us.
- Super affordable — for a nice looking bag with decent organization, this is about as cheap as they come.
More on the Able Carry Daily Backpack
What I like
- Seriously comfortable to carry. The straps are very padded for such a small bag, almost overkill, and it feels nice.
- Looks pretty good on, without being boxy or rigid.
- Solid organization: a nice collection of thoughtfully placed pockets.
- Clever zip-entry outside pocket.
- I like the webbing, the seatbelt-style strap material and the handle.
- Super affordable for a nice looking bag with decent organization.
Watch for
- It carries smaller than other bags this size. Everything fits, but it feels tight. If you carry a lot, I'd skip this one.
- The fabric (and the thin nylon lining) feels cheap to my fingers. It's solid and won't let you down, it just doesn't feel great. I like the X-Pac sailcloth version even less.
- A water bottle in the outside pocket makes an awkward lump, so I keep mine inside.
- A charger in the side pocket falls way down and is hard to get back out.
- The flat quick access pocket sits between rigid plates, so it squishes things. Fine for a phone or wallet, not headphones.
- No real protection for a tablet sitting in the main compartment.
