Best bags in the business, not even close. I CANT stress enough when using this, just how much thought went into the design and how well everything works. Insane.
Props to the people that you help you sew and manufacture these bags. Even if you have an amazing vision, those people help make it a reality for the rest of us to enjoy. Last bag I got was the PLC20, and it's amazing. Your bags level up this game like nothing else.
I've had v1 and v2; now I need y'all to get a frequent-flyer program going, because these keep getting better. Never change, Evergoods! Love your products.
Amazing video! Kevin explained everything extremely well. Details like why the fabric is called 'ballistic' or the yarn dying process, the increased durability of rotating the fabric, all super interesting. These thoughtful details sold me. Will be ordering!
This looks reeeeally good! It has all the new things I wanted in the very first revision (except I really loved the matt material and didn't mind the hair pickup). Excited to get mine. You guys have really outdone yourselves! The new dying process is mint, I just hope everyone else would be as conscious of the environment too...
Despite having my CPL 28 for more than a year and a half, I really enjoyed this video. The prefect backpack just became more perfect and beautiful. I love your philosophy: to upgrade what needs to be upgraded, only when it reach your standards. Not following ”upgrade annual seasons”.
Once I knew I could get an Evergoods Left-handed bag with a breathable back panel, I couldn't order fast enough! This answered every complaint I had about previous versions! Thank you for making this bag!
It is almost a perfect backpack in my opinion …. Which I love my CPL21 OG version… all I want has been in this version! Can’t wait to hands on with it …. Thank you Jack and Kevin. Love all your videos in sharing your mind and process! Love and support your passion as well! Keep it up men! Evergoods fans all over here supporting you!
i appreciated the cut and dry tech explanations. this video is a nice departure from all the marketing-style videos you see from all other bag companies
Ordered the 28L, pretty excited, thinking about making a bottle holder that attaches to those two vertical loops at the corners. Would have spent extra if evergoods offered the xpac in the 28L mirrored because I’ll be using it mainly for one bag travel and the aqua guard zippers would be nice to have.
i admire your attention to details, deep knowledge of your profession and high capacity to clarify the reason behind the details, however i prefer the key leash in the side pocket for ease of access, good luck
I wish we could see some of the 35L features on the smaller bags. While the 35L has the water bottle holder and luggage pass through, I prefer to travel with something more like the 24L as a personal item on my existing carry-on rolling luggage, so that it fits under my seat and feels like a regular backpack at my destination. I can't really figure out why these features go missing on smaller bags and feel a bit crazy for expecting it and not seeing it anywhere in the market. I guess people lose the need for water when carrying a smaller bag. I often see larger bags with the pass through, but then I don't see the practicality of the larger size since it won't be able to be stowed under an airplane seat (if filled out), so then I'm left with 2 carry-on items that need to go in the overhead bin or get gate checked
Tim - We do have a smaller bag with water bottle pockets - The CHZ series. Our CPL series was intentionally designed to be low drag on the exterior. So, no external pockets or luggage pass thru. Totally get your desire for those features tho. Jack
I have a Nomatic and have searched for anything to best it. This looks like it could. Has anyone here bought this bag? Is it good for travel as a replacement for luggage?😊
I love the features of this pack, but is the new fabric used PU or TPU coated? Are any of the fabrics used in this pack PU coated? I ask because literally every pack that I've owned that has a PU or TPU coated fabric has devolved into a sticky mess over time (on the order of 4-5 years) rendering the pack completely unusable.
Is there no attachable shoulder strap for it (and the BP straps are stowed within) like some other bags? I would like the option of having backpack style or shoulder carry.
Could you tell me what liter water bladder is used in this video please? Also how is it attached to the loop inside? The bladder looks like a solid loop and the loop on my other evergoods packs doesn't have a clip it's solid too.
I wonder if you are aware that the bottom edge of the bag tends to dig into the lower back? I came across the problem on the web and I can confirm this after buying CPL28. Will it get any better after some time when the lower padding gets worn in?
Is the main textile a filament fabric or textured fabric? I find that textured fabrics tend to hold onto pet hair and filament fabrics are more forgiving. By the looks of it, it’s a continuous filament fabric, like a lighter weight version of 1680D Cordura but want to confirm. Not a dealbreaker either way, but you strike me as people that pay close attention to the details and can actually answer this question (other bag-makers have been way less transparent than this about materials used, it inspires confidence in your brand for me). Love to hear that it’s solution dyed and that areas prone to abrasion are sewn on the bias. 420d nylon for for the interior lining is also a really nice touch. Most companies are using lightweight polyester even on Nylon shell bags to save a buck.
@@evergoods_ came in today, I’ve got several bags from Tom Bihn and Aer but this really takes it to another level. The CPL28 is my new go to bag. Thoughtful design, high quality build, and extremely comfortable. I can tell this was a bag made by people who care for people who care.
Question for the CPL owners out there who are frequent fliers. How does this design work for you vs. the traditional pack style where the laptop and admin sections are accessed from the top? I am frequently accessing my laptop, magazine, pen and a water bottle, is it awkward accessing those from the side? The Evergoods design, materials and workmanship look incredible, so help me buy (another) pack?
It’s not awkward; you set the bag down horizontally naturally as it stands better that way and the front and large interior pockets are accessible. If you need dedicated water bottle access though this probably isn’t the bag for you (they have other bags with external dedicated bottle pockets).
Well, they almost got it. The stretch pocket is altogether unnecessary and redundant with the laptop compartment. Removing it and shaving a bit of excess padding would reduce some weight and space and would make it the perfect solution for onebagging. Shame.
That is an interesting point of view. The internal stretch pocket takes up about a few millimeters of space. It is hard to see how that affects anyones ability to pack that compartment. It lays flat and offers another space to store items or use if the laptop compartment is fully in use. At any rate always good to hear other points of view. Thank for for sharing.
This video just sold me on this pack. Thanks for posting.
Almost never like any video, but this level of love, thoughtfulness and devotion to “bought once for life” is incredible and worth it.

The brown lab notebook pocket demonstrated with actual brown lab notebook in product demo. Love it.
Just when I thought you’d reached the peak… there’s a whole other mountain twice as high that you’ve climbed. Well done you guys!

the best backpack design what I ever seen

Fantastic review, thanks!

Thanks for the note.
I like these videos. It was accidentally finding the chz22 video that made me buy one.

Currently using the Mirror CPL 24 on a work trip. Great EDC bag that can be used for short trips.
With all the smart design, I wonder what Evergoods packing cubes would look like...
I have a Nomatic and have searched for anything to best it. This looks like it could. Has anyone here bought this bag? Is it good for travel as a replacement for luggage?😊
This is amazing! Perfect backpack... besides the $280 price tag
Will you be updating your Mountain Line Backpacks too?
It would be perfect if you add a luggage pass through.
Can the bladder hose come out without having to route through those little ports or whatever they are? Like, just freely out of the bag.

I have a 10.5" x 15" laptop, will it fit?
Has the weight of the 24L and 28L stayed these from their previous version?
So, solution dyeing can only be in black right now? Or could it maybe possibly be done in other colours too? I would adore a silver or tan CPL
Black only. When we do colors we would still need to do traditional dying.
Will the CHZ series receive similar updates soon?
Do all of the other bags like the MPL and CTB have the new back panel already?
CTB, MHP, and now CPL have the back panel. The MPL does not.
is there any reason why it doesnt have a waterbottle pouch outside? im sad
Are there no strap keeps on this bag?
Nope.
Wish, wish, wish it had a water bottle pocket. On the opposite side to the handle would be perfect. Dealbreaker.

You got it! Our 840D is not air texturized. Pet hair slides right on by. We mad a full video about the textile here on the channel check it out!

Thanks, I ended up buying the CHZ22 and the CTB26, both excellent packs. @@henryjtodd
just deciding to resell my CPL24 V.3 (haven't used it) as I'm switching to the new CTB26. If you're interested, IB me.

v4 bring back the key leash to the front. So much more useful in the front. wish I had money to buy this bag 🥲
