The litmus test for me is the following: Can I hold this bag comfortably in my lap while I'm at my desk working on my computer? If yes, then, I can use it as an EDC bag. Again, however, I understand everybody has their own needs and style.


Yes, every person's idea and needs of an EDC bag is different. I carry a good sized EDC bag but I do not keep it on my person at all times. At work, it sits beside me all day. In the truck or car, it goes where I/we go but I have not had any reasons to have to carry an on body EDC full time. The closest I get for any EDC on body carry is a SAK and very small flashlight on my key ring.
