Every time a person leaves the house, they have to decide what to take with them and how to best transport it. It can be challenging to find the right balance of convenience, comfort, and storage space, which makes finding the perfect everyday backpack all the more exciting.
Many people in this position turn to everyday carry bags, or EDC bags, which come in a variety of sizes and styles and are not all built the same. If you want to find just the right bag for your daily needs, Able Carry can help. Whether you’re working, traveling, or simply running errands, we have an option for you.
What Is an EDC Bag?
EDC is an acronym that stands for “everyday carry,” and it refers to the items that a person tends to carry on a daily basis. Think of what you take with you when you leave the house to run errands, go to the library, visit friends, or work in a shared space, and it’s likely that a handful of items come to mind in multiple scenarios. These are your everyday carry items, and they usually consist of essentials like your phone, wallet, keys, water bottle, laptop, headphones, and sunglasses.
EDC bags are designed with these common scenarios in mind, and their design goal is to fit all your most frequently used on-the-go items as efficiently and comfortably as possible. Some everyday backpacks opt for minimalism and fit little more than the essentials, while others prioritize flexibility, providing space for a day trip or a couple days of light travel. In short, an EDC pack maximizes the convenience of your standard daily backpack with user-friendliness and efficiency in mind.
Able Carry’s Best EDC Backpack
At Able Carry, we’re dedicated to making durable, functional, and fashionable EDC bags that our customers can use day in and day out for years to come. Whether you’re out for a morning hike, going to a festival, or spending the weekend hopping from one airport to another, we have an option to suit your needs. Our most exciting everyday backpack model to date is the newly released Max EDC.
The Max EDC backpack is a 26-liter daypack that prioritizes versatility, practicality, and comfort. Compared to our popular Daily Backpack and Daily Plus Backpack, the Max EDC has:
- Overall Extra Storage: The Max EDC backpack has 30% more storage space and can fit large electronics, up to 17” devices. This makes it ideal for professionals who need to transport a work laptop to and from coworking spaces or while traveling, whether for work or pleasure. It’s also handy for hobbyists who want to transport a bigger drawing tablet or handheld gaming consoles, like a Steam Deck™ or Nintendo Switch™.
- Work Compartment: The work compartment has an expandable admin pocket, where users on the go can hold laptop chargers, phones, battery packs, and other important accessories.
- Main Compartment: Another benefit of the Max EDC’s increased volume over other daily backpacks is the increased utility of the main compartment, which can hold up to 25 liters of gear all on its own. The open design allows for users to arrange it easily while the bag is laying flat, while also making loading large items a breeze. Inside this cavernous compartment, there are two stretch pockets and two zippered pockets to help keep smaller items and delicate pieces easily separated from the rest of the bag’s contents. The stretch pockets are even big enough to hold most tablets, maximizing space for sensitive electronics.
- Front Compartment: The front compartment takes advantage of a gusseted design and directional stretch fabric to unlock up to 8 liters of storage space, which is perfect for a pair of shoes or for providing easy access to a windbreaker or other outerwear. There’s also a 1-liter bottle pocket to make stowing your beverage easy and convenient.
Thanks to an innovative A-frame design and a removable sternum strap, this is one of our most comfortable and versatile EDC bags yet, and it’s sure to make the perfect daily bag, no matter your routine. The zotefoam cushioning provides plenty of ventilation for a comfortable, cool fit.
