The Carry Awards :: Huckberry Selects…

by Carry HQ, March 3, 2016

The folks at Huckberry know a good thing when they see it, and have one of the finest curated sites you’ll ever click across. That’s why we asked them to share their top recommendations for carry that nails style and practical design. See who they’d crown for the Carry Awards categories Best Carry On, Best Active Backpack and Best Specialist…

Best Carry On – Aer Duffel Pack

The Aer Duffel is hands down one of the most versatile packs that’s ever made the rounds of Huckberry HQ. It’s compact enough to slip into a crowded overhead compartment, but spacious enough to store a 15-inch laptop, a weekend’s worth of clothes, and a pair of size 13 (or in my case, size 9) sneakers. Plus, the separate ventilated compartment keeps loafers from getting crushed, and gives running shoes a much needed breath of fresh air.

Best Active Backpack – Alchemy Equipment 25 Litre Softshell Daypack

This 25L Daypack is built with a protective exoskeleton that provides some of the best protection out there. The main compartment is completely enclosed by EVA padding which cushions fragile items like cameras and computers, while the reflective trim and anodized alloy hardware makes it fully prepared to tackle the rigors of a bike commute to work, or a trek through the backcountry.

Best Specialist – Peak Design Everyday Messenger

Designed to meet the exacting standards of professional photographer Trey Ratcliff, there’s a good reason the Everyday Messenger became Kickstarter’s most successful camera bag of all time. The expandable, origami-inspired removable inserts easily fit a full-frame DSLR and three lenses, while still leaving plenty of room for the integrated tripod carrier. Finished with a handsome weatherproof waxed shell, the Everyday Messenger is the most stylish and specialized solution out there for hauling camera gear.
