Attitude Supply ATD1 Backpack Review
"Expandable AF"
The ATD1 is an expandable backpack you can use for both travel and daily carry. Looks pretty damn good too. One of the best in this category for sure.
- It’s meant to be the ONE bag you need for carry on travel and daily carry, and it does a damn good job of it.
- Massive Capacity — expands from 20L to 55L with a roll-top enclosure. Tons of space.
- Does decent as a daily carry — there’s a lot of fabric and straps to manage, and I can’t seem to get the rolltop to look very stylish (for my personal style). However, it does get compact, and it’s rare to have something that travels with THIS MUCH SPACE and is still capable of being a decent daily carry.
- Great materials and water-resistant build — I love the 500d, PU coated Cordura fabric with DWR. It feels good to the touch (though it does pick up lint like a motherfkr). Solid shoulder straps, nothing fancy, but quite comfortable even when it’s totally packed out.
- I like the front panel with organization. They did a great job on the materials and the way the internal pockets are laid out.
- Definitely some straps hanging off of this bag. Nice for attaching things to the outside of the bag; not so nice for going for a minimal look.
- I’ll be honest, this is a challenging mix of great materials, interesting design, and too floppy, not enough clean enough-ness.

Burly TechSuper well designed for EDC. Durable exteriors and interiors with nice details. Check the video to see how the pocketing works because it's nicely dialed in. Hideable water bottle pocket (with insanely cool stretch mesh). Great side "always need you never want to see you" compartment. Cozy straps, etc. Super solid and worthy companion.
Able Carry Max
Solid & SoftReally lovely and thoughtfully crafted bag. Tons of organization, excellent comfort (super cushy straps), large enough for bigger EDC and travel needs but designed in a way that doesn't make it look funky when it's not packed out. Looks excellent, in fact. Super unique in its "softness." Watch the vid to get a sense of what I mean.

Silhouette PerfectionIncredible materials, not just on the outside. The liner feels insane and different in a very good way. Lots of organization — kit this thing out however you want, hidden pockets, visible pockets, very well thought through. An incredible silhouette — I just love the shape of this bag. Oh, also, RAD back panel.
