So glad you mentioned the straps and how they dig into your chest. Same as a guy, this harness system is horrible, and youre the only I’ve seen that mentions it. I refuse to believe everyone else saying it’s the most comfortable bag they’ve ever worn. Straps are so narrow, and oddly short so yes it literally cuts into your chest. Such a shame
Thanks for an honest and even-handed review. Evergoods has a cult-like following and it's difficult to trust many UA-cam channels when they review their products.
This bag just arrived and wanted to like it, everything right from a design perspective except on how it fits. I felt affirmed watching this review and so happy to find this channel that considers different bodies!
The sternum strap, you just lift up the clip (seperate it) and push. It’s weird at first, as there’s a lip / hook to the clips which holds the strap in place, but really simple once you’ve done it a couple of times.
Yeah that’s true! I’ve gone ahead and made a short video of packing it up ua-cam.com/users/shortsiWM-Ejzfm-w?si=7aJIjVFf8TAsIpCe This might be helpful to see ☺️
Agree on the steenum atrap being a pain in the ... To remove, they have dine a video for it, you need a flat head screwdriver. The nicest sternum strap i have is the one from timbukt2
Thanks for the review! I also find that using the sternum strap digs into my boobs :/ so it's a choice between the strap always feeling like they'll fall off or the digging in
Not every bag is for everyone. Its very personal and subjective. Its best to go to a shop that sells the bag you are looking to buy and test it out. That was what i did for the CTB26 and the CTB35. Personally, the CTB35 is too bulky for me whereas the CTB26 is a better fit and it is more versatile.

@@lydiagibson3535 aww love hearing this but also unfortunate about the bag, shame really cause it’s a fab bag!

Great review. Would always appreciate a loadout (to imagine how many packing cubes or how medium or full load would look like)

I think the "messenger style" handle is actually a quick grab handle when pulling out of the overhead bin of airline
Thanks for the info!

Yeah!, not always a solid solution when it comes to bags and boobs!
