The Carry Awards – Best Carry On
Best Carry On – Goruck GR2 “Our favorite Carry On for traveling the world with only one bag” We can’t think of a better Carry On bag to travel the world with.

…crowds and concrete without supporting the load vertically. However their design has generally been plagued by small wheels and weight issues.

So you get a 3-odd kilogram case that can haul gear without creating excess luggage fees. Styling looks, ‘just enough’ design, and some really well considered details (like the inset…

Best Work Messenger – Second Annual Carry Awards
For us, a work messenger should look great in an office environment, help you organise some tech and personals, and then be at least OK on a bike commute to the office. Work messengers gets tricky, as lots of the best stuff costs a bomb (if you want to look sharp around expensive suits and board rooms, 500D polyester often doesn’t cut it). If you are dropping a bomb on a work bag, it’s really easy to look like a sucker and buy something a bit cra…
Best Work Backpack Finalists – Second Annual Carry Awards
There’s always a lot of love for the Work Backpack. If this was the Oscars, it’d probably be the award for Best Lead Actor. So when we finally open up the lines and the votes flood in, we’re forced to hire a horde of trained monkeys to help us collate the data, but don’t worry, I’m one of them. And thankfully, we’ve clawed through the mountains of votes, including from our contributors, and risen to the surface clutching a handful of really speci…
