    Will you do a review on the black ember citadel 18 and 25 soon by chance? Im debating on the city pack x-pac from aer or the citadel 18 from black ember before Christmas! Please advise If possible haha. Love the videos!
  • @krisk.4935
    seems really similar to the Bellroy Venture Ready 26l but without so many quick access pockets.
  • @ChrisCarries_EDC
    Some really nice features on this bag, yet it manages to be nice an simple as well. Makes me think of the CHZ 22/26.
  • @JC-wj3hx
    NICE! I might get one.. i had a 36L Cabinzero but my wife wants it lol! so i might get this lol! Made in HK its GOOD!! 25L is actually quite big
  • I have the Thirteen, which I love - it's a good size for me - and it's not that much lighter than this bag. Crazy weight for the liters!
  • @jg6241
    Hello, man! Could you recommend EDC stores in HK aside from Suburban? We will be visiting first quarter next year and planning to check some Able Carry, Aer, Bellroy, and Evergoods products.
  • @Brian_Lau
    Only things missing on this is some padding on the hydration bladder sleeve for laptop carry and to increase back padding, and maybe another quick access pocket on the outside. Not sure how these changes would affect the weignt of the bag though. Any laptop sleeve recommendations Aaron?
  • @jackjack_jk6633
    Please review the FreeLine BP 350 AW, and the Brevite Jumper large next time
  • @Vindicare86
    I think those lash points might be for guiding a hydration pack's tube?
  • @jonuiuc
    This is a nice total package, but yeah the lack of real structure for laptop carry sorta limits it. Despite its light weight its probably a smidge too structured for real packable duty. I really like Able Carry's stuff, but the Max seems to be the one that could fit in with my collection the most.
  • @ambushbr20
    Good looking bag; however, I compare bags like these to the REI Ruckpack. I think for the price, features, and quality, the Ruckpack is the standard for these ā€œoutdoorā€ EDCs.
  • @Amariths1
    CAn you do a backpack line up for people that skates and want to wear a backpack that distribute the weigh making it easy to do. Cause just recently started skateboarding and want a pack that does sway or get in the way while being able to carry a decent amount of stuff such camera and a water bottle.
  • @yeeisme
    I have the Cordura Ripstop Nylon version of the Daybreaker 2 and though it is light, that and it's ability to hold close to its listed 25L is the only thing good about it. An urban bag without a laptop section is a huge miss and it didn't even need to be dedicated. Also all the aesthetic lash points but no place to put a hip belt if you are going to load this thing up with a huge hydration bladder? I do use this bag for my EDC but once my ULA Dragonfly comes in, unfortunately I think this bag is going to fall out of rotation since the new bag does Urban and Outdoor significantly better.
  • @hsientsay
    These have improved since the 1st versionā€¦.i loved the weight on my 1st version but just not enough quick access for me so i had to sell itā€¦I loved the pricing of the brand but they r increasing in price now
  • I am looking into able carry, evergoods and aer . My topo designs global briefcase is still going strong after 4 years of use but I am wanting to switch out for something different, and could really use the extra backpack and not have to change out as a work bag to a family bag every time I need a backpack for other than work
  • @exergyone7164
    This pack is amazing. It'll be my first Able Carry bag since I've had to pass on the versions ruined by a ridiculous diagonal left-handed use side pocket. Not the case with this one. Side-handle on both sides. The one for the left hand will be ignored, but won't bother me.
  • @arlencarlson
    I really donā€™t like their 3/4 opening. Donā€™t like it on the Able Carry Max either. Would prefer that both sides opened to the same distance.
