“30-40L seems rather big for EDC, but if you are OK with the lower end of the spectrum, the Able Carry Max is pretty nice.”

Top Criticism
+3 pts
“+1 for the MPL22. Especially instead of the Max EDC. Max EDC is the worst bad I have ever tried. The compartments are small and taught while the bag itself feels huge.”
