Minimalist Commuter Backpacks

Able Carry, a Hong Kong company that specializes in minimalist and versatile backpacks, has launched a consummate commuter backpack in the form of the Daily Backpack, which is designed to withstand anything the urban environment or your travels might throw at you.

This 20L backpack has a main compartment that is large enough to securely fit most 15" laptops, which are protected by way of a padded sleeve that acts a security blanket on top of the padding that sheathes the bottom section of the backpack. Smaller accessories and electronics can easily be stored in a zippered mesh pocket, while a pair of pen and pencil pockets are located either side of the laptop sleeve.

Indeed organization is a massive strength of the Daily Backpack, with its diminutive zippered pocket ideal for storing items like your phone and wallet, while an exterior pocket is ideal for offering easy access to items you might need to grab while in the act of running for that bus or hustling through the airport to make your flight.

All this storage and organizational capability wouldn't mean much without protective materials however, and Able Carry certainly delivers, making this commuter backpack available in abrasion-resistant and durable Cordura Nylon or X-Pack material. Customers in rainy climes can also purchase the custom-designed featherweight rain cover. Regardless of weather conditions, the Daily Backpack offers exceptional comfort thanks to its vented back panel and padded shoulder straps, making this backpack a veritable steal in its $128-$158 price range.
