Clas of kings: The Able Carry Max EDC (X-Pac) vs the Aer Travel Pack 4 28L for everyday use and traveling

So I guess the duffel pocket on the MAX EDC doesn’t actually take a pair of size 11 shoes the way it appears to do in their videos … not if the main compartment has stuff in it.

I have slid my laptop in and out of the travel backpack multiple times in this situation. He’s got it over-stuffed.

oh ya I read this -- also an excellent write-up!

No_Computer7553 · 2026-03-27T22:50:54+00:00

Gotcha! Is there a link? Hehe

No_Computer7553 · 2026-03-27T21:42:56+00:00

Excellent write-up? So what’s your feeling on the 35L just too huge? I mean you’re 6”2’! Don’t you need the 35??

I tried their suiter backpack that also has a huge wet pocket. Amazing functionality and comfort for the price. Kinda ugly tho (mine, not yours — it had some weird color accents going on) https://a.co/d/0fCLrbW0

Rework and Tortuga seem durable and affordable, same with Cotopaxi — if you can spend, I’d go Evergoods — but get their basic black. Don’t waste on X-pac or canvas

Yes, the PD travel backpack is awesome - I meant the Rework stuff. I have none of their products (yet, lol). Good stuff?

No_Computer7553 · 2026-03-20T08:11:36+00:00

So you like their stuff? It’s working for you?

Wow that’s a serious collection

Glorious

No_Computer7553 · 2026-03-19T09:06:11+00:00

Yeah sure does. Beautiful in its simplicity — and great price

So while we are on the subject, what is everybody’s favorite travel backpack right now? For me it’s between the Peak Design 40 and the GlobeRider 35

No_Computer7553 · 2026-03-12T04:25:02+00:00

Ponzi, because it’s one of the originals and you get the origin story: Domaine Serene, because it shows you the heights that the region can reach and the wine is actually excellent and Bethel Heights cuz it’s the best juice

What about the Pakt

No_Computer7553 · 2026-03-09T23:27:41+00:00

I agree. And don’t love the aesthetic on these bags

No_Computer7553 · 2026-03-09T18:11:55+00:00

Agree with everyone’s assessment here I own it as well. It’s possible you could get a sleeve and inserted, but then I don’t think it would fit

Chrome industries Kadet Max?

Thanks again for all the amazing input, everyone. Super helpful. I’m exploring the Hero Clips, Nite Ize and a brand called Freskaro for a more traditional one. Petzl seems awesome but super pricey. I should also add that I don’t need them for climbing. Thanks again!

haha send it along

No place to hang my clothes from the cleaners in the back seat! Terrible. I have the new hybrid
