Who are Able Carry?

Able Carry is a Hong Kong based company that has been creating high quality gear since 2018.

Their 20L “Daily” Rucksack emerged from a successful kickstarter campaign and they have been going strong ever since.

When it comes to city and travel backpacks, there are no shortage of options. But which ones are the best? We’ve done a lot of research on this topic, and we’re excited to share our top picks with you.

Why are Able Carry Backpacks Good?

Firstly, they are made from high quality materials and have a lifetime guarantee.

This means that you can use your Able Carry backpack for years without worrying about it falling apart on you. The outer shell is made from waterproof material (so no accidental spills), while the inner lining and straps are made from even more durable materials so they won’t tear or wear out any time soon either!

Also consider how much time you will save when using this bag instead of a traditional backpack that has many compartments inside – everything will fit seamlessly together in one space so no digging around for things like shoes or snacks later on down the road!

Able Carry Rain Cover

When it comes to protecting your backpack from the rain, Able Carry has got you covered. The brand’s Rain Covers are designed to fit every type of bag in their line-up, so there’s no need to worry about whether or not it’ll fit yours.

Able Carry Everyday Backpack Rain Cover

The Everyday Backpack Rain Cover is made from nylon fabric that can withstand the elements and keep your goodie safe from the rain. It also has an adjustable drawstring waist belt for added security when traveling on foot or by bike.

Able Carry Travel Backpack Rain Cover

This lightweight rain cover is designed specifically for travelers who want to protect their belongings from unexpected weather conditions while also keeping things light and easy-to-carry around town when not in use. It’s made with siliconized fabric that keeps water out without affecting functionality inside or outside of your backpack (and doesn’t scratch up against metal zippers).

Are Able Carry Backpacks Waterproof?

Water-resistant materials are built to resist water, but they are not waterproof. Water-resistant means that a material will repel water, while waterproof means that the material won’t let any moisture through it at all.

Able Carry explains, “However, like most zipped backpacks, our backpacks are not waterproof: water can eventually seep in in prolonged exposure, so to protect your bag in for longer exposure or in heavy rain, we recommend adding a raincover for enhanced protection.”

This is a crucial difference to understand when choosing backpacks for use in wet conditions. If you want your backpack to be completely impervious to rain and snow, then look for one with a fully waterproof exterior shell made from materials like GoreTex or TPU (Thermoplastic Polyurethane). These materials are designed specifically for this purpose and can keep out both snow and rain indefinitely.

What is the Best Way to Clean Able Carry Backpacks?

When it comes to the best way to clean Able Carry backpacks, there are a few things you should keep in mind.

First and foremost, never put your backpack in the washing machine or dryer!

This can cause damage to the material and stitching. To wash your backpack with a mild detergent, simply wipe down any stains with a damp cloth first, then wash by hand using cold water and mild detergent.

Avoid using bleach or any harsh chemicals when cleaning your backpack as these may damage its colour or material over time.

Once you’ve washed it by hand and wrung out excess water (don’t wring too hard), let it air dry overnight on something like an old towel so as not to stretch out the seams of your bag unnecessarily during drying time
