Able Carry Thirteen Daybag
Lower PFAS concern; typical durable pack without inherent PFAS triggers, but brand doesn't disclose water-repellent coating treatment details.
The Able Carry Thirteen is a daypack made primarily from ballistic nylon and canvas, conventional textile materials with no obvious PFAS red flags like nonstick coatings or Teflon-family coating shells.

What we don’t know
This grade is a model-based estimate from public materials, coatings, and brand disclosure at 72% confidence. It is not a lab result.
No independent PFAS lab test is on record for this exact product. A lab test could move the score in either direction.
The brand has not made a specific, verifiable PFAS-free statement, so part of this score reflects that missing disclosure rather than a confirmed material.
Formulations and coatings change between production runs. Always check the current label before buying.
