Irene is always stealing the show. That last comment you made, about waiting for V3 fixing the air flow and the material. It's like they listen to you exactly and made the next version just for you! I just copped the v3. Although the price hurt, that bag is absolutely amazing!
Man, it's really hard to show on camera how incredible the materials are. You really just have to own the packs. I'm sure most of us here probably have some version of this bag (I have v1 of the CPL and CHZ).
Hey George. I appreciate your videos and the details in the reviews. You're a good reviewer. Your enthusiasm and your authenticity is something you should be proud of. I know I am! I hope that this will give you more endorsement - because you deserve it!
Excellent review as always! Love the intro! There are some common design elements because one of the designers left GORUCK to start Evergoods. To me, Evergoods has some more refined features suitable for EDC and light travel- it's the civilian cousin of GORUCK. I prefer the MOLLEwops and zippydingles of GORUCK because I like being able to attach stuff to my GR1. I do wish GORUCK would incorporate: contrast lining, independent volume for external pocket, standard external carry handles (GORUCK style though with less drop than Evergoods), top pouch like the v2 Evergoods CPL series.
Best vid to date George! Been thinking of getting the 24L for my EDC. I have a GR1 26L and I love it but it’s a tad big for EDC but I love it for overnight, longer trips where I carry my camera.
not kidding George ... why isn't your channel bigger with these awesome vids you produce !!! well at least my message will be seen for a longer time with these fine people posting your praise (hi guys you are so great) ......stay awesome George i love your stuff
I really like the bag and understand it’s purpose. I wish it had two zippers on the laptop compartment, padded grab handles on the top and side, and a luggage strap on the back for travel.
Good review. I have the first version that I bought because everyone was salivating over it like crazy. I have to say I was disappointed. I can see how they put thought into it and tried to really design it well but I think they failed. Lack of water bottle pocket, no admin to speak of, heavy bag, admin pocket opens off of left hand side instead of right, etc. These turned out to be killers over time actually because they were so essential. I’ve been using mine for a year and I really, really gave it a try but I’m over it. Switching to something else. Hate to say it because I paid big money for the bag.
While I had similar experiences with the bag I enjoyed my time with it.The main issue is the main compartment cause it’s not a 24L bag feels more like a 15 L bag which lead to a lot of headaches when trying to pack lunch and spare clothes
always enjoy your reviews, best of both worlds to get irenes input as well. hope youre a duo in future reviews as youre as informative as you are charming and fun
Question for you... I was an early follower of Evergoods and have one of their original CPL 24L bags. Like you, I'm a bigger guy and I never found the fit was good. The form factor of the bag on my back, being a bigger person, was just never comfortable. But the thing that REALLY aggravated me and ended up being the reason I got rid of the thing was the fact that in order to wear the back I had to extend the shoulder straps to nearly their maximum length. This meant that there was no extra webbing to let out to make the bag easier to get on and off. In addition, in my opinion, nothing looks stupider in the world of backpacks than having a bag that has only an inch or two of webbing sticking out of the ends of the strap adjusters when being worn. It's like wearing a sign that says "look at me... I'm a big guy and my bag doesn't fit". I was hoping since you're not a tiny little Chase-Reeves-sized person, you could give me your thoughts on the fit of the bag and on how much extra strap you have when wearing it comfortably. The bag seems to for well proportionally to your frame where you show yourself wearing it but, since you only show a back view, I can't tell how much extra webbing you have leftover and if that will be a concern for me. Any help or insight you could provide would be a huge help. Loved the video. Your wife? partner? girlfriend? totally cracks me up!
9:53 This was a major observation from Bo on his review on the version 1 of this bag. I can state my Aer Travel Pack 2 is black and picks up no dirt, and looks new after two years of daily use. ...having said that, I’m going to buy a CPL24 to replace my GR1.
Hey nice video!! Awesome way of showing uses and great explanation. Got a question. Have you tried out the CTB26? If so, which do you prefer, the CPL or CTB? And which can fit more?
Your reviews are top notch, George. Jack Barley, co-founder of Evergoods is also one of the co-founders of GORUCK, which is why there are some similarities. This bag is tempting. Do I really need another bag? I have a Pack Animal Rally Pack which is a roll top. I didn’t think I was going to like the roll top and almost returned it but I’m glad I decided to keep it. It’s my most used pack now. Very roomy and comfortable. Not as much organization as the Evergoods CPL but it works. I use it more than my GR1 now.
Does Mrs. Defined have the lowdown on when the version 5 will be for sale? 😆. I like the bag, but 230 ducketts sounds kinda steep for it being a booksack. Thanks for sharing. One.
Great review! I had the chz and it was not for tall guys (Dug into my back) I’ve heard that the OG CPL 24 was similar. Not sure how tall you are but could you see that being an issue with the 28L?
@@GeorgeDEFINED Yeah...I have the new MPL 30 v2 coming any day now. Very excited. Might have to double-down and get the CPL for urban edc. Also, your wife is hilarious! ;-)
In my opinion a problem with this bag is it isn't tall enough. It looks like it juts out too much from your back and isn't very inconspicuous. This is a big ass bag and I'm kinda wondering why it looks so much more obtrusive than the tropos 33 or recon 35. Let me know your thoughts.
If your going CCW Gamut but if your just doing regular EDC I like the evergoods pack. I might be bias because I don't like the side pockets on the gamut.
The mollywops and zippitydodas are definitely the most important parts of an edc pack
I'm sorry if this isn't your average comment, but I absolutely loved the intro of your vid. I love the family touch it gave me a big smile and I couldn't help but be happy. Best wishes to both of you!
Agree wholeheartedly. No idea how I found your channel but don't stop! Love the passion.
Agreed. It was nice to see support from the Mrs and she did great.
I totally subscribed to your channel after your wife's intro. You need to get her more in your videos.

It’s always inspiring to find new black creators within all the different niches of UA-cam. Loved the video. Subscribed.
This review is better than what Chase Reeves did. You really put the time and effort. Keep it up l!
Chase Reeves is getting weird, man.
@@MrLlama999 lol ummm Chase has ALWAYS been weird! :D
Definitely!! I mean, I really like Chase but his review was more of a “quick look”. This was a proper, excellent review.
Chase is awesome.. Him and Bo Ismono are very informative and fun to watch..
@@GeorgeDEFINED Absolutely! He's the reason I'm into bags! I watch Bo as well.
The intro was so damn funny! Irene is hilarious....."Everly Well Best 9000 version 5" "MOLLE wops" 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Greatest....Intro....Ever
The intro should be nominated for "Into of the Year". Loved it.
Man, it's really hard to show on camera how incredible the materials are. You really just have to own the packs. I'm sure most of us here probably have some version of this bag (I have v1 of the CPL and CHZ).

Dang George, I think she almost took your thunder! If she starts her own channel,,,, watch out!😂
The Evergoods CEO used to be the President of Goruck.
Lol you seriously create the best bag reviews ever! Thanks for keeping us informed and entertained!!
LMAO. Molle Whops. Irene needs to do all the intros.
Great Opening and Closing! The middle must have been pretty darned cool, too, since I made it to the end! Keep it as a family affair!!
I was so confused when I first started watching this video! 🤣😂🤣 That was hilarious! Great video, as always, George
Bro, the freshness of every video never ends. Keep it up
Best vid to date George! Been thinking of getting the 24L for my EDC. I have a GR1 26L and I love it but it’s a tad big for EDC but I love it for overnight, longer trips where I carry my camera.
Glad to see you have a bug out. I finally got one a few days ago. Once I saw red handle, black blade, I had to have it!
Just ordered the CPL24 x Carryology version. Always good to rewatch a GD review!
not kidding George ... why isn't your channel bigger with these awesome vids you produce !!!
well at least my message will be seen for a longer time with these fine people posting your praise
(hi guys you are so great) ......stay awesome George i love your stuff
Much appreciated 👊🏽
Thanks George, your reviews and energy always make me smile.

I had the same experience
I appreciate you sharing your experience..

While I had similar experiences with the bag I enjoyed my time with it.The main issue is the main compartment cause it’s not a 24L bag feels more like a 15 L bag which lead to a lot of headaches when trying to pack lunch and spare clothes
I'm too old to have kids small enough to stuff into this pack, but I'll be visiting the grandkids soon. Thanks for the tip! :D
Mr George she did a beautiful job with the bag,keep it up sir!
Been waiting for this!!! Thanks George!!
Nice review and that intro was amazing. Thank you for making me laugh.
This CPL 28 looks like a perfect pack in between the GR1 (26) and GR2 (34). I recently got the GR packs...and this has me thinking I need this CPL 28.
always enjoy your reviews, best of both worlds to get irenes input as well. hope youre a duo in future reviews as youre as informative as you are charming and fun
You in the background looking all sceptical already killed me :D
I am waiting patiently for mine! This sick review is helping me get through it
Love your reviews, man! I had to save this video for the weekend. So excited to get my CPL 28 v2!!
FINALLY!! BEEN WAITING FOR THIS REVIEW
great review exactly what i was looking for
Love your reviews. Sorely tempted to buy one of these babies. Wish they came in other colors!

I really like this backpack, I just hope they make a version for a lefty, where the pockets and handles are on the right side
That's a good point.. some other folks mentioned the same thing..
Enjoy your reviews. Keep them coming.
EverWell 5000 thingy!!! two thumbs up :)
Thanks for another great review! Love the wifey making cameos. 🤣
Awesome intro and great review!
Man that thing looks huge! I bought a MPLv.2 that I’m still waited on for a general/travel/hiking pack. I may want to trade it for a CPL 24v.2
9:53 This was a major observation from Bo on his review on the version 1 of this bag. I can state my Aer Travel Pack 2 is black and picks up no dirt, and looks new after two years of daily use.
...having said that, I’m going to buy a CPL24 to replace my GR1.
First time watcher, I really enjoyed the video and your talking points on the bag.
Great video! Love the creative intros 😄
I think you can clip a shoulder strap on the both end of the side handle so you can use it like a messenger bag
I was rolling, love the wife intro…well done Sir!
Feeling the vibes of the video. My wife would nix me if I purchased another bag. Lol
Awww you guys are adorable !!!
Mollywops are or should be incorporated into any carry system. JMO
Great review!
I'll be getting this to replace my old go ruck sd25.
Great intro guys. I want this bag so much...
Hilarious intro, love the review!

Thanks for the insight..
Hi George, just wanted to say hello, really enjoy your videos, great delivery, keep it up! AK
still waitin for those ozark packing cubes to be in stock til this day!
Great review, you are grat George I enjoy with you!! Greetings from Spain.
Love the review, but wow 28L is huge! Will you do some reviews of smaller daily bags (12L to 22L sizes)? Maybe an Osprey Arcane type of minimal bags?
Sure I will definitely..
Does Mrs. Defined have the lowdown on when the version 5 will be for sale? 😆. I like the bag, but 230 ducketts sounds kinda steep for it being a booksack. Thanks for sharing. One.
Great review. I ordered mine and it feels like forever to get here.
Love your intros to your videos!!
Sweet bag...... thanks George!
I aer duffel pack 2 as a gym bag and business bag. This bag looks promising.
I think your girl did a great job!
I like having options too.
On the carabiner loops id get a couple small straps to carry a tripod....so for me it seems like a winner. Not a fan of most “camera” bags
Great review!
Questions, when loaded, does it stand uppright by itself?
It does most of the time but it depends how you load it.
Love intro with Irene ...
Great review! I had the chz and it was not for tall guys (Dug into my back) I’ve heard that the OG CPL 24 was similar. Not sure how tall you are but could you see that being an issue with the 28L?
I'm 6 feet and I like taller packs like 19 -22 inches and for my frame I like 26 -30 liters for edc. This pack is 19 inches..
Love your videos. Intro with wife was great. Hahaha
That bag is dope, great review.
thx for the video! do you recommend upgrading to the v2 if I already have the v1?
just found your channel. awesome. keep it up.
Best intro EVER!!!
George, did you review the “CYCOP DayPac”? If so, I’ll look for it some more. If not, can you?
I don't see it on their website anymore??
Just found your channel.. Great stuff!
ok that intro was genius XD
Thinking about the Charlie 25, but might be swayed by this. Different bags, but what think? Great reviews...thank you!!!
I like the Evergoods pack.. IMHO
@@GeorgeDEFINED Yeah...I have the new MPL 30 v2 coming any day now. Very excited. Might have to double-down and get the CPL for urban edc. Also, your wife is hilarious! ;-)
Great review man!
In my opinion a problem with this bag is it isn't tall enough. It looks like it juts out too much from your back and isn't very inconspicuous. This is a big ass bag and I'm kinda wondering why it looks so much more obtrusive than the tropos 33 or recon 35. Let me know your thoughts.
I think you hit it on the head. Without looking at the specs I think it is a shorter pack than the Tropos.
Intro was hilarious. Laughed out loud
5 sec intro your expression was classic
Sorry George, Irene's time has come. She is now in control 😊

Much better than chase reeves review :)
George, you prefer this bag or the Gamut 2.0 from Vertx?
If your going CCW Gamut but if your just doing regular EDC I like the evergoods pack. I might be bias because I don't like the side pockets on the gamut.
The material is dope. All I need to know.
Hi George, great review. Do you need a step for when you are looking over the bag. Lol.
I should just lower the table... lol
I’m feeling this bag bruh. Do you do any reviews on Anit theft travel bags or slings?
I haven't but I will look..
That intro was so funny :)
Bro your intros keep getting better. The videos too. amazing
🤣😭 These intros... I'm slayed
Big George, what’s the weight capacity for this bag? I wanna be sure all my toys get in. Thanks ‘G!
Hmmm I'm not sure? 🤔
wow nice bag..i love it
Love the hat match.
Lovely!
Have reviewed the CHZ22?
