A simple bag with some modern upgrades and excellent materials that will stay useful for years to come.

Excellent materials — DWR coated 525 ballistic nylon cordura, YKK aquaguard zips, excellent feeling straps… the guy mentions the THREAD he’s using on the info page. I like that!
I love the straps, very comfortable, very quality feeling. And I love that there’s a luggage strap.
It’s a bigger bag, 25 liters, with two tall compartments, one outer pouch.
However, I do not like the lining on the inside of the bag! Feels too thin to me, bag bunches up, hard to get laptop in, etc.

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.

Alpaka Traverse 30L

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.
