Best Backpacks
Kifaru X-Ray
Carryology score
avg. reader score
Manufactured in Colorado using 100% American-made materials, Kifaru’s bags occupy hallowed ground in the the carry world. Between obsessive design work and relentless testing, they’ve built a passionate following among outdoors and military types. The X-Ray is Kifaru’s approach to a small, tactical daypack/EDC bag, but it’s an incredibly versatile bag. The $331 price tag is no small sum, but it’s tempered by the fact that the bag can be adapted to a countless number of unforeseen future carry needs.
