Remote Equipment Alpha 31 Review
"Legend."
Easily one of my favorite bags for serious urban and outdoor daily carry. The Alpha 31 from Remote Equipment is a delight to use and will remain durable for years and years.
- Built extremely well… this thing is a goddam delight from detail to detail and every panel in between. Durability for days, and a few nice touches in stretchy materials as well.
- Unique aesthetic… to me this is the backpack Elon Musk chooses for his personal militia.
- Utterly comfortable straps and back panel… squishy enough, rigid enough.
- Solid external access… tenderloin pockets, quick access pocket, excellent water bottle pockets.
- Does *not* stand up… the bottom is designed for distributing weight for carry, not for standing up next to the table at the cafe.
- Spendy tho… it’s not cheap. So you gotta ask yourself if you deserve it.

Alpaka Traverse 30L
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.

Tortuga Daily Carry Pro
Light & DurableYou'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
GoldilocksThe 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.

Boundary Supply Rennen Pro
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.
