I think the plus is worth it for the upgraded xpac material, water bottle and especially the quick access points. Still prices pretty competitive, about the same as Tomtoc xpac. Thanks for the video.
I'm saving up for this pack right now! And been watching a ton of reviews but your enthusiasm, style and vibe is so wonderful!!! Absolutely loved your review!!! ♡♡♡
I really like this design. Love the versatile water bottle pocket. It does not impact the silhouette of the bag, can be easily accessed from the outside, fits a large bottle and can be used for other things if you don’t want to carry water at that particular time.
Really thinking about pulling the trigger on this bag. It looks great. Also, your reviews have GREAT b-roll footage. So many bag reviewers do a terrible job showing what the actual interior of the bag looks like (and so many manufacturers have terrible photos or none of the interior). You get a great view every time of all the nooks and crannies. Excellent job!
Thanks for sharing your review of the Able Carry Daily Plus backpack! It's great to hear that the new version has so many upgrades compared to the previous Daily Pack. I especially love that they added a water bottle pocket - it's such a simple feature but makes a big difference when you're on the go. Can't wait to check it out for myself!
I just got the Daily Plus and I love the design, but some things pi** me off a bit: 1. Why isn’t the laptop compartment fleece lined? The rather rough ripstop material grinding against the laptop while sliding it in and out isn’t all that pleasant, seems like a very obvious oversight on Able Carry’s part, all of my other backpacks have a soft liner in the laptop compartment. 2. Like I said, the design is pretty sexy imo, but the rounded shape leads to the bag feeling rather big compared to what actually fit’s inside of it imo, it’s basically just as big as my Aer Travel Pack 3 Small, but it fits way less than the Aer because the rounded shape leads to you missing out on room that the corners of the rectangular Aer TP3 Small would provide, but I guess that’s a logical trade off for that design. Still annoying though because you carry so much bag with relatively little capacity. 3. I’m missing just one more zippered pouch somewhere on the bag for organizing smaller stuff, something like a sunglass quick access compartment or something, since the hidden pocket against the back is only useful for very slim items like a passport because it’s so tight and it’s hard to get any bigger items in and out of there, that currently only leaves me with the zippered pouch in the front compartment, all my small items like chapstick, chewing gum, etc are in there which makes it tricky to dig through there and get the right item I’m looking for out without having to dump everything out to find what I’m looking for. All in all, I really like the bag, if only these few issues where taken care of (especially issue number 1, maybe even separate the laptop compartment entirely like you said and make sure to add a soft lining!), the bag would be pretty much perfect. Sorry for my rambling btw, maybe someone that finds my insights helpful read through the novel I’ve left in the comment section here lol.
Good review, George! I received Able Carry's e-mail on the updates this morning, and I missed the removal of the 1000D Cordura on the base of the bag. Do you prefer it with or without? This is a feature I love about my Max; I'm confident it can withstand the elements every time I sit it down (when there's no chair available). The water bottle addition is a nice touch, but as you mentioned, it can take away from the interior storage space. This happens inside the Max too, but it's also a bigger bag. Able Carry is killing everyone in the game, and the owner is awesome!
What you got in those pouches? Next video? Noticed you rocking with the cap one and two in the last couple bags. Seems like somebody's dialing in their load out.
To be frank they're meant for different purposes albeit the max can run as an EDC but its too heavy for a traditional EDC. I feel the AC Max is more of a travel bag.
