The All Day Carry: The Perfect Travel Companion by Matthieu LEROUX

You know, sometimes you find gems that completely change the way you travel. The A Day Carry (or ADC) by Six Moon Designs is one of them. Let me tell you why I fell in love with this little innovation jewel. 


Imagine a backpack that's equally at home on a mountain trail or during an urban escape. With its 35 liters, that's exactly what the ADC offers. I can tell you from experience: whether it's for a day in the city or a week of adventure, everything fits in, and you're a bit organized. And believe me, I've done plenty with it! 

What really amazed me is its exceptional comfort. The engineers really did a great job on the shoulder straps. It's as if they naturally hug the shape of your shoulders. Even when the pack is fully loaded, you don't feel any tension in your back. And if you're the
minimalist type, you can even remove the hip belt. Handy, right? 
Speaking of practicality, I had a little "eureka" moment with the rings at the end of the zips. At first, I wondered what they could be for... And then got it: they're perfectly designed to slip a padlock through! A simple but ingenious detail for securing your belongings while traveling.

 
My little secret for optimizing this pack? The SMD Backpacking Packing Pods. I never travel without them now! It's like having well-organized drawers in your backpack. I always keep an empty pod for dirty clothes. Or for that wet swimsuit. No one ever thinks about that one! 
The ADC particularly shines in transit. Whether you're on a train or plane, it fits perfectly in the luggage compartment. It's a true chameleon that adapts to any situation. 


The quality of the materials is exceptional. Six Moon Designs offers several options, from the innovative ECOPACK™ EPX200™ (the world's first 100% recycled packing fabric, if you please!) to the robust ULTRA™, fifty times stronger than steel. Personally, I particularly appreciate the YKK Aquaguard zippers that keep my belongings dry even in a light shower. Storing an umbrella in the side pockets makes it a formidable weapon for rainy sessions. A rainy day is a day to celebrate, isn't it? 
This pack is truly the fruit of years of hiking and travel experience. Every seam, every pocket, every detail tells a story and addresses a real need. It's as if Six Moon Designs had taken all the frustrations we've had with other packs and transformed them into elegant solutions.


 
At 2.5 pounds (about 1.13 kg), it's also one of the lightest in its category. And believe me, when you spend hours walking, every gram counts! 
In short, if you're looking for a versatile pack that combines comfort, durability, and intelligent design, the ADC is made for you. It's the kind of pack that makes you wonder how you managed without it until now!
