Expensive, but it’s got an amazing warranty. A simple, understated, powerful bag that will gladly see you through anything in life.

Unbelievable Build Quality: the quality of materials, sewing and construction on this bag is off the charts.
Excellent Warranty: the bag is bombproof, and the SCARS warranty is there for everything else. Basically, you never have to worry about this bag because they’ll repair or replace it.
The Aesthetic is Killer: it just looks so good. Simple + sturdy, minimal + uncluttered, utilitarian + comfortable. Just a gorgeous looking/feeling bag.
Multiple Sizes: the bag comes in a few different sizes. I like the 21L for daily use and the larger sizes for minimal travel.
Daily Carry & Minimal Travel: the 26L is definitely doable for minimal travel!
A Life-Long Companion: this bag will be with you through SO MANY ADVENTURES. Buy one and forget about other bags for a couple decades.

Simple, minimal, tough, bulletproof, classy as f*ck. What more can I say? I wish there was a better quick access pocket and a little more organization, personally. But this thing is a life-long companion.

Burly Tech

Super 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 & Soft

Really 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.

Tortuga Daily Carry Pro

Light & Durable

You'll notice two things immediately: the durability and the lightweightness. Then you get into it and it's got surprising capacity and very intentional organization. It's the perfect kind of organization for me personally when I'm living out of a bag. Gonna last a real long time. Durable, organized, lightweight, insane utility. Also, really fk'n comfy.

Sympl Commuter Backpack 20L

Goldilocks

The epitome of a tech EDC backpack. Tons of org. Materials that will outlast you. Sleek looks. Comfy. Surprisingly roomy. Minimal aesthetics. Available in two sizes (and two materials). INSANE top tech taco organizer/accordion thingy that becomes your end all and be all… it's like a tech pouch built in. Stands up real well.

Silhouette Perfection

Incredible 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.
