I've had this bag for a month plus now. It's a well made bag with high quality material. One drawback of this bag is that the material of the strap is very firm. It is quite uncomfortable. And u have to make sure that u carry this bag higher up, and probably because im a bit short just 5 foot 7. I gave up on this bag because i thought after a month plus the strap would break in, but it is not. I'm using able carry daily backpack now, much more comfortable for daily use and i can confidently say it is way more comfortable than chz 22.
i really prefer knowing as much as i can before buying something, so your channel has been such a relief. i feel like i know everything about this backpack, (besides how it sizes on me) and it makes the purchasing process way easier. i think I'll stick with the evergoods CPL, but ill make sure to use the affiliate link :)
I've been enjoying my CHZ22 for work commute and short trips. Definitely some niggly issues but overall is a solid bag that balances simplicity (and light weight) with useful organisation.
I like the look of Evergoods' packs but those back panels - wow - no consideration went into those for warmer weather. It's the only factor preventing me from considering one.
Hmm good question. I think the Bellroy Transit Workpack suits that environment slightly better. The CHZ22 is more everyday daypack, so it'll work for the working environment sure. But maybe not as effectively as the Bellroy. Hope that helps - Ed
do you think the 26L would be a good school bag for college? if not, have a better suggestion? on my radar is: Synik 30, Waterfield Pro, and possibly Greenroom Rainmaker
Yeah I think so - kinda depends how textbook heavy your courses will be. If you're expecting a lot of books, I'd actually suggest looking at the new CPL28L from Evergoods. The other suggestions you have are good though!
@@RushfasterTV THANK YOU!!!! Its wonderful to have the eyes and hands of someone who has actually had these bags in hand to ask and hear honestly from when you can't see at a store or order easily on amazon :) I totally overlooked the 28L, thank you!! My first choice is the rainmaker just for the book carry capabilities it obviously has but you buy that and you are stuck, no returning so I keep it on my list but I keep moving it based on that alone. I'd have to hear, "I have the Synik or the .... and much prefer the Rainmaker" before I would take that risk :) Have a blessed day and if I order from Evergoods I will come back to this so you can get some credit.
I've had my Ch22 for about a year. I'll be honest, I'm not that impressed. It's super well made but my cheap REI day pack fits me better than this thing

Does Rushfaster have any plans to start selling Evergoods product’s? As they are expensive to ship to Australia.
Came here to ask this exact question! I’d own atleast 3 more EVERGOODS products if I could purchase locally.
We're looking into this right now actually. Super keen to try and get them stocked in AUS. Keep your eyes peeled!

Like your shirts Ed, which ones do you go for?
The one in this video is the Wester Rise Limitless Merino Shirt!
Really comfy shirt - would highly recommend.

Maybe it's because I'm taller - but this bag just sits up too high on my back, super uncomfortable.
I like the look of Evergoods' packs but those back panels - wow - no consideration went into those for warmer weather. It's the only factor preventing me from considering one.
Thank god they finally added good back panels. It was a full redo of it
Which one you prefer for a working backpack (always with suit and laptop), this or bellroy transit workpack?
Hmm good question. I think the Bellroy Transit Workpack suits that environment slightly better. The CHZ22 is more everyday daypack, so it'll work for the working environment sure. But maybe not as effectively as the Bellroy. Hope that helps - Ed

Can this fit the 16inch MacBook in the rushfaster sleeve?
do a Timbuk2 flight weight messenger small review..
Cant seem to find a proper Timbuk2 small messenger bag review.
We've got a lot of gear to cover in the next few months but we'll see what we can do! - Ed
Hey Rushfaster friends CHZ 22 or Prizefighter? Which one has the best build quality and comfort?
Hard to beat Evergoods
Is it comfortable to wear or does it push to your lumbar too much?
Just got mine today and def pushes against your lumbar. Also if it's not completely full it has a odd shape with the top part dripping out.
