What Makes a Genius Pack?
…e wouldn’t notice about an excellent carry product offhand but a master of Carryology always would? (A carry product is a broad term, I’ll respond in reference to luggage) Oh there’s so much that comes out after using luggage products. Someone would walk into a store, feel the weight of a bag, look at the wheels, the external design, the trolley system, and they make a bet that they’ll all work well while being thrown around the world. An industry…

Carry Wishlists :: Ando
…’s a truth about me and carry… for all the time I’ve spent in the world of carry, I carry too much. I always have. When I used to hit the high country for weeks at a time, I’d do it with a monster pack and every fun thing I could think to bring. When I go backcountry, I have the group first aid kit and every bit of avy gear you can imagine. It means that my carry is usually on the large side, and so you’ll see that my dream list is also that way….

GORUCK x Carryology | The Lore of Kaidan
…THE ICON THAT IS THE GR2 To look to the future, we often refer to the past Carry Awards winners for inspiration. And this one was easy. One of our favorite and one of the most iconic travel packs of all time, the GORUCK GR2. Like its little brother, the GR1, they both have a cult-like following. For great reason.

Top 6 | Best Everyday Backpack
…It’s been a Carryology team favorite, a Carryology reader favorite, and a Carry Awards finalist. So what could they do to make it better? They introduced a V2 with some tweaks and improvements… they also added a second option called the CPL28, adding 4 liters (18.25” x 7.25” x 12”). For this bit, I’ve got the CPL28, but both models are essentially the same, so everything is applicable to the CPL24 V2 as well. The huge clamshell opening gives full…
Choosing a Carry Quiver
Choosing a Carry Quiver At Carryology, we spend much of our lives searching for better ways to carry.

As frequent customers of Rushfaster, we worked with them on creating a guest post for their blog based around picking out a carry quiver from their range. You…
Aer Tech Folio Review
…16″ folio. Who It Suits For this folio, it really depends on how you will carry it. Once packed out, it fills up a 21L pack pretty well. If you want to carry it alone all packed out, then you are good to go. I used this folio in several different setups over the past few weeks. For the most part, I had been carrying this as my personal item on a flight. It was great since everything I needed for work I could pack in both the 13″ and 16″ folio wit…

…packs to suggest to friends and family when they may be in need of a daily carry solution. Fjällräven Foldsack No. 3 | Piotr Ma The Foldsack No.3 is one of the least expensive items in Fjällräven’s line of carry gear. I’ve been using my personal No.3 for almost a year now (all seasons including winter) and I find it not just fully usable, but also absolutely worth the money. It’s sized just right for a day walk in a forest or afternoon city cruisi…

…elegant and specific. During that time Kickstarter was huge, especially in carry. They had really tough competitors launching in the same carry category – more or less at the same time (Peak Design, EVERGOODS and Nomatic… just to name a few). Nevertheless, they managed to get a good amount of money which helped them start production and gained a bit of attention. From there they learned that we are in the year of the Fanny Bag (they named it Sling…

…hands and dye in your pants pocket, plus it slowly shapes around what you carry inside too. It becomes a one-of-a-kind wallet and truly unique to what you carry and where you’ve taken it. Traditionally, that’s achieved with leather stitched together to create pockets for your cards and cash needs. Enter the Bellroy Apex Slim Sleeve, the best wallet carry choice because it reimagines that iconic design language by completely ditching the stitching…

…of water bottle pockets was a no-go from the start. Personally, I need to carry a laptop every day and also like to carry lots of small accessories (notepad, pens, battery pack, cables, charger). I also use my EDC pack primarily for work and the occasional trip and would prefer one bag serve both purposes. I like bags that are between 18L and 22L and I need them to carry comfortably on hauls. Finally, I have a smaller frame (5’8″) and like bags t…
