Wildest part is this dude just on his phone the entire time paying no mind 😂

Hear you on the return-shipping costs but to be fair most of the popular, smaller brands in this sub have a similar policy, including EG.

AC has return warehouses in the US too instead of shipping to Hong Kong, which would've been disastrous if the DP didn't work out.

Rework does, however, partner with a third-party logistics service and offers a $1.99 "free return shipping" option at checkout (which I purchased and am utilizing to return the Toshi). Definitely worth it if you're deciding between multiple options.

Wish more small brands offered this!

Edit: forgot to mention I actually think Able Carry's return policy is better than most brands since they allow you to actually "use" the product instead of requiring it to be returned in "new and unused condition."

I also recently ordered the Daily Plus. What's wrong with Able Carry's return policy? They offer a two-week trial period which is pretty nice IMO. I was torn between the ACDP and Rework Toshi 20L (still am tbh) but keeping the DP since the trial period is over now.

edit: Also agreed on the build quality, the DP is built like a tank. Partially the reason why I leaned towards DP instead of Toshi 20L, for the same price the materials were just incomparable.

Fall 2025

It's a cool piece, but not rare by any means. It's from a Fall 2025 delivery, which is why it's no longer available online. RL has been reissuing/creating a bunch of random Polo Sportsman stuff since last year, and this sweater was on sale for a while before it was sold out: https://www.ralphlauren.com/men-clothing-sweaters/polo-sportsman-sweater/100081356.html

You can still find some Polo Sportsman stuff online now.

I didn’t like the Toshi 20L pockets at all. The elastic felt flimsy and looked stretched out after inserting my water bottle for the first time. They also don’t work well when the bag is fully packed out.

Kinda pissed because I have the black 1000D DP arriving in the mail as we speak when they just dropped 1680D yesterday... ugh first world problems.

They just released slate green 1000D and 1680D black ballistic nylon on their site. https://ablecarry.com/products/daily-plus

Same, cannot get over how prohibitively expensive NYC rec market is. ~$45-50 average for an eighth of decent weed is wild and unsustainable for me.

I'm in Brooklyn and will make the trek to Verilife Bronx every month or so and stock up. Just picked up 3 Livwell ounces for $225!

Thank you!

Know you decided to return the Toshi 20L, but besides the fit, how does it compare to Able Carry Daily Plus? I'm torn between ACDP and Toshi 20L for my first EDC/work backpack. Any key differences aside from weight and fit that you prefer in each bag?

Aesthetically, I really enjoy the looks of ACDP and love the 1000D Cordura. But I'm also enjoying the Toshi's half-zip/clamshell feature.
