Just dropping a comment to say your review was the final video of my ~20hr bag researching binge. Out of the 30 or so contenders, you have helped me FINALLY decide on the Able Carry Thirteen. Thank you!

This is a fanatistically thorough and precise review. So helpful. - especially showing the water bottles that fit in the main compartment (without using the actual interior pockets). Very well done!

Great review! In such a succinct video, you’ve managed to cover so much. 👏 I also appreciate that you’ve had the OG 13 since it first came out and so you’re speaking from a user’s perspective. 👍 Two additional comments from me: * The outside pocket is both down AND up, and in the top (up) there is another daisy chain. You can attach the same key loop again, or use it to attach other items. It’s clever design of AC to make the key loop removable and have various attachment points around the bag. * I’ve got a well-used Mystery Ranch backpack with aqua-guard YKK zippers (like the older 13). However due to usage and UV exposure (with daily carry) they are now deteriorating. If the new YKK zippers on the update 13 are just as water-resistant, then I MUCH prefer the new ones. The aqua-guard zippers look terrible (and the plastic comes off) when it gets old. I feel Able Carry made the right call on these new, updated zippers. (I’m guessing they weighed up changing them very carefully knowing the pushback people would make. But IMO they made the right call.) 👌

Awesome insights! Yes, the good news is that the updated zippers are coated for water resistance and so far they are holding up well!

Good review. Thanks for doing the water test. I was really disappointed to see the zippers got switched to less-waterproof ones.

Should be equally as waterproof if they're dwr coated and reverse coil.

Omg I’m sold! Decided to get myself the able carry thirteen right after watching this video. Been looking for a small backpack that fits my gigantic water bottle and it actually surprised me that able carry thirteen does fit a 40 oz bottle. Your review is indeed a gem!

I bought the new Able Thirteen bag because of this review. It’s my first Ablecarry bag, and I like it despite its small size. Thanks for this thorough review!
