Able Carry Daybreaker 2 Review (2 Weeks of Use)

[@yeeisme]

I have had this bag for almost 6 months and here are some things that I noticed besides what you covered: • The sternum straps are comically short compared to other multi-use backpacks at around 10 inches • The magnetic sternum strap has a weird shape to it, so combined with the short sternum strap if your chest is broad or you are wearing a winter jacket, it will dig into you • Marketed as an Outdoor Backpack it is strange that there are no good places to put hip-strap webbing especially with all the attachment points • If the bottle pocket was moved back half an inch then the whole front pocket could open full clam-shell • The small top mesh pocket would be better served as an external mesh pocket that runs along the opening of the bag But at the moment, this is one of the best backpacks for single bag travel where half to a third of the weight does not come from the bag itself.

do you thik you could insert a frame sheet to add structure if so whrere would you find that?

[@yeeisme]

@@BerkCanAslandogan There is actually a thin piece of foam that is used as a Fram sheet on the inside of the bag and the back channels for airflow are thick so that also gives it more structural support. My concerns were more about the lack of a hip belt to help distribute heavier loads and anchor support for say climbing rough terrain. And replacing their sternum strap was a must for me because it was just too uncomfortable. What are your plans for this bag?

Y’all read my mind! It’s in my cart ready for them be in the US so that shipping fee can come down a smidge.

Enjoy the new bag!

Great video. Do you think the olive green xpac version would have a lot more rigidity/usability? Looks heavier, but potentially more useful and less packable?

This one has the Bellroy Via Backpack vibes. That’s not for me, but I can appreciate the design.

Cant really say since the daybreaker existed way before the via

Looks like a nice pack! Can you please do a review on the mystery ranch superset 30? Thanks!
