Best Everyday (EDC) Backpack of 2024 | Carry Awards XI

[@viktor.egelund]

4:42. Granville 16 has the same zipper flaw that dates back all the way to Arrakis models: No overlap or hood on the zipper closing point. With motion and use, the zipper wiggles up a few millimeters and water drips through. It’s incomprehensible why Arc’teryx do not fix this design. There’s no point having watertight zippers with a single point of failure.

I hear your voice but your mouth isnt moving!

[@jkamp]

CTB26. Best bag design on the market. They really need to offer an XL harness option. That’s the only down side of that bag. The pack itself is perfection but the harness loses too A19/GR/MR.

[@BacheweyChomp5150]

Totally agree. While I find the harness mostly comfortable, I do wish it was larger.

[@andrewhalevi1042]

The Able Carry Daily Plus is my pick-stylish and just the right size. At 16 liters, the Arcteryx is too small for what I want to carry everyday or for travel.

[@dominikg4818]

Able Carry Daily Plus is my go to bag for one and a half years. The back panel is insanely comfortable. +1 for Able Carry Daily Plus

[@wizerdjuice9589]

Any have a separate shoulder strap for duffel like carry?

[@marianthelibrarian2274]

Hands down, the Able Carry Daily Plus

[@ChrisRdrq]

1+ Able Carry Plus. Been rockin it the last few months. Love it.

[@wvu1999]

CTB 26. I wish they would make a mirror version like they did for the CPL24.

[@lIllllIllllllIl]

Great lighting on this video, and the red backpacks in the background separate the one being showcased, making everything more visible (compared with previous videos with black table, black bag, black background, darker lighting). Great work!

[@SkipHarper]

Catalyst 26 and Able Carry Daily Plus are my go to EDC bags. AON 1.0 has great materials but the organization is lacking, ultimately it was sold. Black Ember materials and handles you have to pay additional money on top of a hefty price felt cheap and the pack was sent back immediately.

[@ANumberOfNames_PoGo]

Depending how much to carry i shift between AC Daily plus and CTB 26, both in xpac. Its just one design issue with the ctb. The smaller front pocket can't stand heavy rain even with ag zippers, its soaking wet. So but overall great bag, both of them are my most used. Will check in the winner bag later today, never used a Arcteryx.

[@maxsharkey5622]

Not a big brand like the others, but my Rehose Buddy 30 is the absolute perfect pack for me!

[@TheCrow1966]

Alpha one niner!

[@houserhythm]

Why not feature the CTB20, if this is an EDC lineup? That's the one in the series actually meant for EDC.

[@CarryologyTV]

That was released after our testing window :)

[@houserhythm]

@@CarryologyTV Your testing window for 2024 closed with more than half the year still remaining?! Cause it was released in the first half of June...

[@CarryologyTV]

Sourcing carry from all over the world and proper testing takes time 😉

[@framesandframes561]

I agree! Arc’Teryx number one! although that A19 option looks sweet.

[@DrewG0950]

Evergoods CTB 26 alllll day 🙌

[@dedduck87]

Missed the mark on this one, CTB26 is hands down the best bag out there

[@atl3630]

The Able Carry is nice but it should be noted that the laptop slot is not a dedicated one, you have to open the main compartment and root through other stuff to get to the laptop slot. Major mistake

[@cesarcano9584]

CIVIC TRAVEL BAG 26L - GRIFFIN EDITION in Waxed Camo one of my top favorite of the year hands down!!

[@jimbergmann8633]

Aer city is my work bag, all I need.

[@vernvarela5973]

I know it's a bag video...but I dig that hat...anybody got info on make of the hat?

[@kauailaw]

CTB 26!

[@jmdazsol]

My vote is for the Mystery Ranch Catalyst 26 if for no other reason than to lift up decades of outstanding backpacks before they all soon disappear underneath the Yeti brand.

[@richardwong864]

CTB26 is my favourite backpack for everyday carry and travel by miles.

[@mkj8757]

CTB26 🎉 and even better the CTB20

[@cwarfield]

Evergoods CTB 26!

[@michaelklein23]

Evergoods CTB 26 for me. I use it for both edc and pair it with a small cabin luggage for travel. Still fighting the urge to get the Griffin 2, it's an ongoing daily battle not to pull the trigger.

[@JovanniG678]

Would you guys be able to come up with alternative sports bag episode? Would love to see if there are any alternatives for like a pickleball bag without the bag looking like a pickleball bag.

[@ottenburg]

Great lineup. Per the other video, I'd rather use any of these packs as my work pack. The only headscratcher is why some of these packs leave out a luggage passthrough function-that should be standard on any pack these days, IMO. I know these are all fully featured backpacks, but I have to say, that we are getting tons of use out of the Matador/Carryology EDX backpack. Even my wife loves and uses it!

[@everyweekcarry]

CTB26 for reader’s choice!

[@BacheweyChomp5150]

Awesome list, with some great packs I haven't seen yet. The CTB pretty much ruined packs for me. I haven't yet found one that works as well for my carry needs. I just wish I had snagged one of the waxed canvas ones!

[@N1njaSnake]

Weird winner but I can see it. Messenger bag though, you really overdid it.

[@MartinLeschinski]

My Champ ist the Evergoods CTB 26

[@pointsdexter73]

CTB26 for me

[@Stelios86]

CTB26 here too.

[@TheKoss11]

It’s the last time Mystery ranch will not be called yeti.

[@manueldelgado5336]

Granville 16 is a bad champion. No exterior Water bottle pockets? If it is an EDC, most will definitely benefit from exterior water bottle pockets. My pick is the Evergoods CTB26, and close second Mystery Ranch Catalyst 26

[@humanbeing7927]

CTB 26

[@BrandonBaecker]

Evergoods CTB26.

[@mat8650]

CTB is a great bag, however, i would not consider this backpack in the EDC category.

[@tliu.]

CTB26!

[@ljrodriguez25]

No Aer City Pack??

[@CarryologyTV]

Not this time! It's not a new release from the 12 months (ish) between Jan23 - Jun24

[@brettmoore6781]

Arc'teryx Granville 16 linky no worky

[@brittonknaphus1425]

CTB26 in X PAC

[@Dahaaan]

Able Carry Daily Plus not even in the running?...

[@MrHeinekentay]

Black Ember Citadel 25, sleek, minimalist design with ample storage, and comfortable ergonomics, it’s perfect for everyday carry.

[@KenConley]

CTB26

[@JonCross]

Don’t like the winner at all I get it you like the water proofing but just looks like a jelly bean.

[@johnwan1116]

Ctb20 plz

[@davide2268]

CTB26 or CTB20

[@blueshadow84]

ctb26

[@PanaMaJwaaRd]

No tbb, no axiom? This is crazy, but at the same time theyre like : Dont forget to get your cpl16 that carries 10L and depth is 8inches deep 🤣. Yall strange.

[@CarryologyTV]

Don't forget, Axiom and TBB are old bags, not new releases from the 12 months (ish) between Jan23 - Jun24

[@PanaMaJwaaRd]

@CarryologyTV very true. Didn't know was year Based capped.

[@skipper4114]

Congrats to Arcteryx for first place. Love their stuff. My #1 pick is the Evergoods CBT 26. Cheers from Canada.

[@OneTakeEDC]

CTB26 > Granville 16

[@HisGraceHisGlory]

Totally agree with you on the Granville 10L, I will never sell mine. They made it in a 15L as well, but for me, the 10L is the perfect size carry. That is one of the greatest messengers ever made. As far as the winner for me, that would go to the CTB26. Even though I hate external water bottle pockets on an around town EDC pack, the CTB26 is still one of my favorite bags of all time.

[@sunimit]

CTB26 for sure. I’m surprised you guys didn’t include the CTB20 instead. That would have been my pick for the best EDC Backpack of 2024.

[@CarryologyTV]

That was released after our testing window :)

[@SHORTandPROUDD]

literally nothing from aer on any category? yall are crazy

[@DaveStern2]

yeah, TP3S Ultra is outstanding

[@BigFuzzyGuy11]

CTB26
