The reviewer considered the Able Carry Daybreaker’s 15-inch laptop sleeve insufficiently protective because it lacks inner-facing foam and has an insubstantial false bottom. The Able Carry Daybreaker includes a sternum strap attached to daisy chains, while Duraflex hardware lets the shoulder straps adjust like seat-belt webbing. The reviewer fit an 18-ounce bottle easily in the Able Carry Daybreaker’s tall side pocket, which retains extra space with an elastic gusset.
The Able Carry Daybreaker’s zippered quick-grab pocket includes a long-leash key clip, allowing keys to reach a lock without repeated detachment. The Able Carry Daybreaker opens only around the top, but the reviewer found its folded-back hatch provided a reasonably useful view for packing.
