I have this bag and I love it. Its great for tech conferences when you need to carry your laptop, notebook, snacks and water and to carry all the swag you get.
How'd you compare this with the Peak Design 30L (not their 40/45L travel bag)? They seem to weigh about the same, so it'll come down to carrying comfort and gear organisation.
peak design attracts a lot of dust and dirt. Xpac doesnt. that alone is reason enough to never spend money on a bag with that material. same with black ember shadow. the bags are good but the exterior material ruins everything. how people commercialize these bags knowing all the dirt it attracts is insane to me...
Hi. The Able Carry Max is lightweight for its capacity at 1.8kg, just slightly heavier than the Evergoods CPL 28 at 1.58kg but with extra organisation features. It’s designed to carry a lot comfortably without feeling bulky!
the water bottle compartment is really annoying! you want to have all the space inside to put your things, if they put a normal water bottle compartment inside you could have just taken it out if you needed to see if it fits in the airline bag size frame thing then put it back... i would have loved to see you use packing cubes to get a better understanding of how it would be packed. but i really like the bag and you showed it well
Hey there Zikriya! Yeah sorry we haven't been able to get round that - we're still working with TNF so that we can do more videos on their gear. Hopefully soon! Your comments have been noticed! :) - Ed
Although there isn't specifically a shoe compartment, you can definitely pack shoes in the bag. Actually the water bottle compartment might work for them if you have slim shoes - Ed

Glad to know you love your Able Carry Max Backpack. Also, thank you for the awesome comment :) Have a good one!
Have you tested the backpack with water? Is it waterproof or just water resistant?
Those are a lot of loops pockets and zippers, I love it
This is a great product! Thank you for the thorough review!
Cheers for the feedback! :)

Can't wait to travel again. @rushfaster would you say this or the Black Ember Forge?
🤔
I’m still looking for the perfect tech pack/hiking pack hybrid. Any suggestions?
Peak Design, Wandrd, Nomatic, Boundary Supply.
The best is Peak Design, then Wandrd
or there is a new one coming from Tropicfeel.
@@desoncunado5155 thanks man!
Great suggestions by Deson. I'd also add:
Evergoods CHZ22
Topo Designs Rover Pack
Incase Allroute
Bellroy Shift
TNF Borealis, Recon & Kaban
Mystery Ranch Urban Assault
Heimplanet Motion Series
@@RushfasterTV thanks mate!
Ok but how many 6 packs does it fit
Agh! Didn't do it for this one. Just did a quick one now. Defs was able to fit 4 tinny 6 packs (and more on the sides).
- Ed
It’s better than peak travel design backpack
Can the bag stay upright on its own (when filled)
It can stand on it's own at times, but not naturally - you kind of have to pack it a certain way. Hope that helps!
Is there a bellroy transit work pack video in the works?
Yes my friend! Bellroy gear came in a few days ago actually! Hopefully will able to get one done after Christmas! :)
- Ed
Will this fit under the seat on an airplane (particularly Delta, American, United, etc)?
are you ok?
Is this backpack really heavy? How does it compare to the Evergoods CPL 28?

Question
Is the main compartment deep enough to incorporate a camera cube?
the water bottle compartment is really annoying! you want to have all the space inside to put your things, if they put a normal water bottle compartment inside you could have just taken it out if you needed to see if it fits in the airline bag size frame thing then put it back...
i would have loved to see you use packing cubes to get a better understanding of how it would be packed. but i really like the bag and you showed it well
Seeing the water bottle gets eaten like it's nothing 👀
Good review. Please review the NorthFace Surge Backpack. I asked this many times so please consider this. . .

@@RushfasterTV thank you. I like the way you review the products in detail so the buyers can be able to make a decesion. . .
Very nice 👍
Thanks Carl! :)

How do you pay taxes on it?
How much this?
Hi Erwin, you may check out the link for Able Carry (Worldwide) here bit.ly/ablecarrymax. Cheers!
No shoes fit in?

For $260 US I'd want this bag to pack my things for me.
