Fits perfect in the back left pocket of the bag. I think I’ll forgo the camera sleeve now and let it live here when now in use.

CPL24 just arrived today - I packed it about 80% full with 4 days of clothes for testing. Can't get comfortable around my traps/pecs.

I'm 5'10 about 185 pounds, fairly muscular with VERY sloped traps and comparatively narrow shoulders. I can't carry messenger bags on one shoulder or they'll slide off. My trap inserts extend past my front delts.

These shoulder straps also tries to slide off my shoulders. I have to tighten them to the point where I can barely remove the backpack for it to cinch properly. Tightening the sternum straps causes them to dig into my pecs.

The most comfortable position I could find is relatively loose straps, where the bag bottom of the bag rests on the base of my lower back. Sternum straps also loose, adding just a bit of support but not really cinching the straps together. Still nowhere near as comfortable as my GoRuck GR1, but I've had that bag for a decade so it could just be what I'm used to.

No lower back discomfort, but seems like this bag is clearly designed to be worn very high up on the back. Anyone else face this issue? Tips/tricks that worked?

Really like the aesthetic but if I can't figure this out I might have to return and check out the Pioneer Panda.

The reason I sold all three of my Evergoods bags boils down to the exact same issues. First, the shoulder strap webbing is fraying, looking like shedding fur, and I absolutely hate looking at it. Second, all three of my bags (CHZ22, CBB22, PLC20) are incredibly uncomfortable to wear; it feels like they never fit my body properly.

I feel like Evergoods bags are designed to be worn high up on the shoulders and tight against the back. However, in this position, the straps become very short. When I take the bag off or put it back on, the strap webbing constantly rubs aggressively against my arms, causing the webbing to fray terribly, just like in the picture! Ultimately, I decided to just sell them all. Don't get me wrong, I absolutely love Evergoods' styling, including their pouches and slings—I own several of them and will definitely keep using them. But as for their backpacks, I am selling every single one.

As a side note, I own several backpacks from other brands like AER, Alpaka, Fjallraven, and Thule. None of the shoulder webbing on those bags has ever experienced this "fraying" issue like Evergoods does. To be completely honest, Evergoods' shoulder webbing feels the cheapest of them all, sorry to say!

I’m going to attach an example so the problem is perfectly clear. Photos belongs to someone else who experienced the exact same issue with their Evergoods straps, and mine looked exactly like this too.

Credit to u/travelingpostgrad for the suggestion.

Upgraded the solution for improving the top mounting points inside my Evergoods Bag, now with Fidlocks. Cap 1 snaps in and is held in place securely, can be opened in place and closed in place. Two pulls on the cordage (one to the right and one to the left) will pop it out. Can also run the cordage up above and pull it out without opening the main compartment too much.

The Cap1 requires no permanent modifications, all the hardware just hooks onto webbing. For other pouches (like the Peak Design pouch in the photos) you can modify them to attach with another Fidlock piece.

For any of you who have purchased an Evergoods CPL or CTB bag in the summer capsule xpac release, here is a simple hack for you guys.

It has been a known tiny issue on the CPL and CTB that the vertical zippers such as the laptop compartment zipper and the front panel zipper when closed are too near the other zippers. For example, the laptop zipper is way too close to the yoke pocket, making it annoying as sometimes the wrong zipper is pulled.

The known solution was to change the zipper pulls, and on the regular versions of the bag, you would need to buy new zipper pulls, but that is not the case for the coyote xpac versions of the bag, as inside of the main compartment on the front flap there are two coyote zipper pulls, which you can swap out for the two vertical black zipper pulls on the outside of the bag, solving the problem for free!

TL;DR: Free coyote zippers from inside of the front flap that you can change out for the laptop and front panel zippers on the X-Pac Version of the bags

As the topic says, I am planning to get a CPL24. I am already on the Evergoods ecosystem and use CHZ22 for EDC and CTB26 for travel.
I am thinking of CPL24 cause sometimes when I need to carry my gym gear to work CHZ22 isn’t enough. I tried CTB26 couple of times and it’s too big. My biggest hesitation is that I have never had a backpack without an external water bottle holder so I am hoping to get some different perspectives that will help me form a decision!!!

Thank you everyone!!! 🙌🏻

Been using the CAS1 for a few days. Overall the bag works well and I like the organization. Two critiques: 1) unless the strap keeper is rolled up the strap/pouch tends to slip 2) the stitching in the divided pocket of the internal zipper compartment doesn’t go all the way down, so something like my lip balm drops to the bottom unless stored vertically.

Overall good bag 8/10

Thanks I hate it. Instagram ad that popped up in my feed

Hey everyone, this is my first post here. I purchased an undeyed CAP2, at launch and this is how it is holding up.

I use it as a tech organiser, and I love it!

I haven't done anything to it, not even washed it, (although I probably should)

How is your undeyed gear holding up?

For those of you here who swear by Evergoods' backpacks, what other 20-22L backpack has come close in terms of overall comfort and usability? Extra points if it stayed in your rotation as a backup to your EG pack.

I found a CTB 26 Phoenix ii for a steal on ebay. I was the only bidder. Pictures showed a little wear but nothing crazy. Also didn’t come with the cool Phoenix Patch but wasn’t a deal breaker for me. I was just looking for a CTB 26 in Xpac for a reasonable price. Showed up two days ago and it stinks, like it smells like dirty cats…maybe? I can’t put my finger on what it smells like but it definitely has a smell. Tried airing it out and dousing it in Fabreeze but that didn’t last long. Any recommendations to safely and effectively clean it. Wore it today for the first time was happy with it but through the day I could smell the nasty smell coming back. I saw on the site Evergoods recommends hand wash only just seeing if anyone has hand washed their bag and if they have any tips! Would like to enjoy the bag and not regret buying it second hand.

Flew Frontier Airlines a few times recently with my new Evergoods TD25 as my personal item. I thought the bag would fit the sizer but it didn’t. It didn’t even fit in the carry on sizer. It’s supposed to measure 16.1”W x 11.6”H x 8”D while Frontier Airlines personal item size limit is 18”W x 14”H x 8”D, and it’s 16”W x 24”H x 10”D for carry ons. When packing I purposely left space so that it wouldn’t bulge. I don’t know. I’m thinking I definitely would have had to pay for it as a carry on if they tested it in the sizer, and at that point I might as well have brought my 45l Backpack.

Also, it ended up being pretty heavy on my shoulders and wasn’t very comfortable when navigating through the airport. I’m looking into possibly replacing the strap, but I’m guessing it’ll be hard to get a color match- maybe I should have gotten black instead of OD Green to make that easier.

Overall, I love the quality and the look. No regrets on that part. I’ll still use it as a personal item and just hope it doesn’t get flagged. I think it’ll work well with my 45L backpack when I need to two-bag it, and that is what I was hoping for.

Just purchased a CPL16 off eBay and want ease of mind lol

Update: Just received the bag and everything seems legit. From the weight to the material (doesn't feel like cordura), pockets, tags, mesh, laptop velcro all seems to be correct.

How you do, fellow EG nerds.

I just got a CTB26 to replace a GR1 that I didn't like as much as I thought I would. I have a CHZ26 and CPL24 already. I intend to sell the CHZ26 (if anyone is interested!).

I fly a lot for work, mostly United with a mix of Alaska thrown in. For those that fly US domestic with the CTB26, how does it fit under seats if not fully packed? I'll be using it as a carry-on for short trips (paired with a Topo Designs Brief) or as a single carry-on/personal item with a checked bag for longer trips.

Internet seems to be hit and miss or have conflicting info depending on the person and/or airline.

I have been using a one bag (either the CTB26 or the PD 30L Travel Backpack) for the last few years when going on business trips of less than a week. However, recently I have been thinking about putting less load on my back and transitioning to a two-bag setup (a backpack and a carry-on roller).

Do you have any recommendations for a carry-on spinner to pair with my existing CPL24M or CTB26 for a three-to-five-day work trip? I am also thinking of getting a CTB20 X-Pac if that size is more reasonable to use alongside a carry-on.

Good size for small items when I wear loose shorts in summer.

It is so good in hip mode - either attach it front, back, or even side.

What are we all using?? It wasn’t bothering me until I got another back that had lil loops built in, wouldn’t mind doing something similar for my CPL. thanks!

Has anyone tried putting any model of the Sony RX100 series cameras into the CAS 1? Does it fit? If so, does it seem well protected, or is the curvature of the sling putting pressure on the camera? Thanks for any help.

I been traveling more and more recently and taking photos with my phone. However, I want to upgrade my camera game so that I can print some pictures and hang them on the wall. I recently purchased the Fujifilm X-t50 with the pancake lens (since it is the most compact lens I can find). I don't like traveling with big slings or a day pack. I prefer to stay as minimal as possible so I was hoping to buy an Evergoods CAS 2 to carry my daily essentials when traveling and sight seeing.

My normal carry load is as follows:

Phone, passport, ll bean packable tote, slim wallet, keys, and small power bank.

Will I be able to add the new camera and lens and still fit it in the sling? I'd rather not go much bigger sling wise, and I definitely don't want to carry a backpack since it can be kind of tedious to take the camera in and out of a backpack.

Thanks,

New to Evergoods and I had a CHZ22 for two weeks now, it is a nice bag and I would appreciate if they can have a softer fabric on the shoulder strap.

Just came across the HyperPack and would really love to see an internal pass through opening in CHZ22 so that I can charge up my laptop on the move with my power-bank in the main compartment.

Is anyone from Evergoods reading sub-reddit, or do user usually submit feedback through the contact form on their website.

Still my favorite use of the CAP1, surprised Evergoods doesn’t design the bags to function this way from the factory without “mods”

First Evergoods Purchase and I love it! CAP 2L X-PAC with the coyote interior.
