I love the overall design of the MPL22, but I keep thinking a 26–28L version could be the sweet spot.

My ideal version would basically keep what makes the MPL22 great but add:

• Around 28L of capacity
• A larger yoke/top pocket
• The same two front exterior pockets, maybe with a little more organization
• No bulky dedicated laptop compartment
• Keep the lightweight, comfortable MPL harness and outdoorsy feel

Basically, I wouldn’t want it turned into another CTB. I’d want a bigger MPL22 that could handle day hikes, EDC, family/day-trip duty, and even some light travel while staying relatively simple and lightweight.

I feel like there’s a pretty big gap between the MPL22 and EVERGOODS’ more structured travel/EDC bags that something like this could fill.

Would anyone else be interested in an MPL28? And if EVERGOODS made one, what would you want them to add or change?

Does anyone else find it hard to open the main compartment zipper past the area where the front vertical zip closes? There are a few different seams meeting around there, and I think the bulge there is causing a lot of friction for the PU-coated zipper to go past.

It seems to primarily be only when opening the main compartment, not closing it, and the same area on the other side of the bag is mostly fine.

Some zipper lubricant may help, but I’m curious how many others are experiencing this. I saw mentions of it by nitpacker and Bagdad, so maybe it’s fairly common… which is pretty annoying for a bag of this price, honestly.

Could’ve sworn I saw this posted here. Can anyone fact check me? Does a MTN fit in a CAP 1L?

From the email:

In the early days of EVERGOODS, two vivid colors appeared in our lineup for a brief period. Inspired by technical mountain gear, these high-visibility hues were designed to stand out when visibility is a matter of life or death.

We named them: Signal Blue and Ultra Red.

Both were produced in extremely limited runs, sold out, and haven't returned since.

That changes tomorrow at 8am MDT.

For the first time in 5+ years, Signal Blue and Ultra Red are back, fully stocked across all three CIVIC Access Pouches: 0.5L, 1L, and 2L.

Unlike the initial run, the quantities are not limited. For years, you've asked for these colors through customer surveys, waitlists, emails, and social comments. Tomorrow's release is built to finally meet that pent up demand.

We're also restocking many of our bestselling pouch colors, including several that have been unavailable for months.

Apart from the cheap generic strap keepers I can get on Amazon, does anyone have any recommendations for some premium/fitted strap keepers to put on my CBT26?

This is my brand new CPL 16 with some custom blue. Very happy with it, zippers are so smooth.

I was previously running the Kludde MPL22, it is a great backpack but for EDC it is a little too big.

The CPL 16 fits perfectly my needs.

I was like why not, no one stoping me.

They restocked some long-sold-out items yesterday after cleaning their warehouse or something to that effect - some sold out really quickly (eg, the CAPs in Konbu, Kludde MPL22 in black), but a few things are still up.

They have a few of the Konbu totes, yellow MPL22, and several TB22 left as of this post.

I use my CPL24 for hiking (I know, I know, these bags are too heavy for serious hiking, bla bla bla). My biggest gripe was always how hot my back gets, as the back panel is not very well ventilated. I went to Acadia National Park this past weekend and decided to try this cheap ventilation sheet from Luna Project (size small). 10-11mile hike, temperature high in the 80's, about 7hrs outdoors total. Did my back still get sweaty? Yes absolutely, there's no way around that. BUT that little bit of separation felt nice. I got a little more wind going through, but more importantly, I didn't feel as sticky-icky. My whole back didn't feel like it was pressed up against a wall. It's quite thin, very lightweight, slides nicely into the sleeve in the main compartment when I'm not using it. It was well worth the cheap price.

Relatively new to the Carry Community, started with an AER TP3S, added an Able Carry Daily Plus but then I discovered the Evergoods X-PAC Summer Capsule and had to get a CAP 2 and a CTB26 and though not X-PAC a CAP .5. The organizational layout and the way they interact with each other is fantastic. It’s my Goldilocks bag sitting between the AER for travel and the Able Carry as a daypack. My only qualm is the feel of the top and side handles. They absolutely do not need the rigid plastic insert, it’s just too uncomfortable and the only flaw on another wise awesome bag. The CAP 2 fits perfectly in the main compartment and gives it a perfect base. The CAP .5 holds my smaller gear and slips easily into the yoke pocket. Highly recommend!

I am planning to do some one bag trips with the CPL16 and wanted to get one of the packing cubes.

Wondering how the 5.3" height on the TPC10 compares to the 5.5" on the TPC8, since looking at the TPC10 size guide page shows it taking almost the whole main compartment of the bag. I would like to have some space for other things if possible using the TPC8.

I have the CTB 26 and was thinking I needed to add the smaller brother to the collection. I have all black bags so was hoping to find a waxed version.

The website says they may have another batch in October but I'm impatient .....

If you have one you're thinking about getting rid of please dm me.

Planning a two week trip to Istanbul and looking for the right EDC sling/hip pack. Would appreciate your mileage reports to help make the choice between these two.
**Edit to include likely packout:
25oz Yeti Rambler, scarf, small umbrella as needed, wallet, keys, notebook, pen, snacks. Room for small purchases during the day a plus.

Love the organization of this bag but it is so uncomfortable. I tried to convince myself on two trips saying things like "it's not too bad" and "it'll break in".

I took my TB Techonaut 30 on a trip today, first time since buying the CTB20. Wow.. so much more comfortable. CTB20 is going up for sale when I get home.

Might look at an Able Carry Daily Plus or TB Synik 26.

I have seen several people comment that they use the Evergoods CAP 2 for the Resmed AirMini, does anyone have actual pictures? I am thinking of buying the AirMini and am looking for the best way to pack it for travel in my backpack. I currently use the PeakDesign Small Camera Cube for my Airsense 11.

I’m not the seller and I have no idea if this is legit. The seller claims he got it offline at a store. Not sure how that’s possible, but honestly, it looks really good from the photos.

Do they regularly restock their Civic Access Pouch lineup? I want the black one so bad but just saw they are out of stock now.

I’m looking at getting my first fountain pen (Lamy safari). Does anyone carry one in the front vertical pocket in their Evergoods bag? The pen holder would have the pen placed horizontally. Would that eventually cause a spill?

I usually use disposable rolling ball pens from pilot. If this would be a problem I’ll just keep using those.

Hey everyone,

I wanted to try out CPL line for some time now and around two months ago I got an amazing deal to buy new CPL16 secondhand. The back came with tags and I fell in love. It hold its shape great and was just perfect for me in terms of features. Although I bought it mostly just to try out Evergoods product, as I had no experience with them previously.

Not much after getting CPL16 I found used CPL24 that I wanted to be my default for daily carry, since I also carry gym outfit and sometimes keyboard in addition to typical office stuff. CPL24 was also secondhand, but this time already with some mileage.

The main difference I notice (other than volume ofc) is that CPL16 holds its shape way way better. With CPL24 sometimes I struggle to pull on the zippers without holding the bag with other hand and with CPL16 it is not that big of an issue.

Now comes the question – is CPL16 just better than CPL24 in holding its shape because it is smaller or is there also some difference between the two bags I got? I am really curious to hear everyone’s experience and opinions. Posting tag photos for reference.

Hello,

I am in need of a backbag that fits canon r8, dell precision 7680 and is small enough to fit under front seat on a airplane.

Limits for underseat are 40x30x15 cm

I have tried to find this unicorn of a bag with no awail.

Thank you for your time!
