- Review of the Evergoods CPL24 V3 which is the latest edition of the legendary minimalist edc backpack that was one of my first backpack loves. This edition includes an updated fabric and harness system that make it a nice improvement over the previous version and helps it hold up against the latest and greatest bags of the past couple of years.
What do you think of the latest version of the CPL24? What is your current favorite EDC backpack?

Thank you so much for doing a comparison between this and the ctb 26 and wearing both in the video side by side. It was huge in helping me decide! Your reviews are great!!
Thank you for watching and I’m glad the video was helpful! :)
I like your reviews best! I just delved into all these options for a backpack, wow! In order to stop obsessing about which one to buy, mainly for use as a carry-on bag, I decided to pull the trigger on this model in the newly-released waxed black canvas. It arrives Saturday. Hope its nice!:) Thank you!
i currently have this exact same bag and CHZ22 2023 and im loving these bags a looooot
I love this bag and I'm happy they fixed the issue with material collecting dust and hair and included the breathable back panel, but the handle can be really uncomfortable to carry. So I'm torn between this and the Aer City Pack Pro.
I have been using CPL 22l since version V 1 now V 2. And I have been using for office, gym and one week travel and I’m very happy with them. Now just ordered CPL 22l Ecopak. Look forward to it.
Thank you for watching and that’s awesome to hear you e had great experience with evergoods bags!
Great review Danny! I recent got a Burnt Orange CHZ22 and am loving this new external material. Very lightweight, extremely abrasion resistant and much more weather proof than the previous versions. I also notice dust and dog hair don't magnetically attract to the pack and wipes clean with a danp cloth. Having damp Cordura bags for years, Evergoods new ballistic nylon is that sweet spot for the mountains of Colorado 🌲
Thank you for watching and for the support! Glad to hear the chz has been working out well and I agree on the new fabric, really like it doesn’t attract as much stuff as the previous editions
one of the GOATs
Thank you for watching and I definitely agree!
Amazing backpack, worth every penny.
There's also an 28 liter!
Thank you for watching and I agree, big fan of the 28l as well!
Great video Danny. i currently have the North Borealis which has been amazing, but ready for an upgrade. Am really torn between the CPL24 & CTB26 for every day use. I love the CTB26 with he additional features, but just looks quite bulky, even compared to something like the Borealis c. 28L.
Thank you for watching and definitely a tough choice between the two! The CTB26 definitely feels larger than the 24 and I agree it also feels larger than the borealis due to how wide it is so for edc I still lean towards the CPL24 and the CTB is my go to all purpose bag
I swapped my CTB26 for a mirror CPL24. The CTB just felt and looked a bit too big for me. Haven’t had a chance to properly use the CPL yet but it’s a much better size and more comfortable; it handles weight a bit better I think
Thank you for watching! Even though I love the CTB the cpl size has always been the sweet spot for me for edc, hope you enjoy using it alot and that’s great yoj we’re able to get a mirrored version
worth mentioning CPL has a mirror option whereas CTB doesn't. thanks for the video Danny
Thank you for watching and good call out!
The main compartment I want to make sure my medium, small and shoe pouch fit in the main compartment. Were those the evergoods packing cubes?
Hey Danny, when wearing the CPL/Evergoods bags do you have to loosen the straps anytime you take the bag off? The CTB kept scratching my forearms unfortunately…
Thanks Danny! Would you buy this or the CHZ22 if you could only have one? Mainly it’s office use and commuting, but often will be used for gym or overnight and sometimes airport personal item.
Thank you for watching! Both are great and if you really want water bottle pockets the chz is a good option but overall I prefer the layout and look of the CpL
Their pricing is difficult to swallow compared to aer. I have a number of evergoods pouches and a sling and then aer backpack and sling and can't say that the price difference is warranted.
UA-cam sure makes me believe it would be though.
i cant stand aer products.
I'm in the same boat right now. Torn between Aer CPP and Evergoods CPL24. And the price difference is quite huge. Would you say comfort wise there's any difference between the two brands?

@@microvizartI have extensively worn the aer CPP now and it's super comfortable.
I only just have a cpl28 v2 so it's difficult to say but initially the aer feels a lot plusher and aerier.
Perhaps there is some magic that appears when worn for longer with the cpl. I'll see and report back when I have more information.
@@DaemonViewsthanks man. I just listened to my hunch and went ahead with CPL since I've been wanting this one for a long time. Hopefully it will be good for me. Will still keep CPP in my list though in case this doesn't work out.
Nice review ! I'm undecided between whitley or cpl24 or black shadow r3. Which is more comfortable and compact and breathable ?
Thank you for watching and I’m glad the video was helpful! Tough choice as all bags are really good! I think the Whitley is most comfortable / breathable among the three for my preferences but it feels a little bigger than the 22l shadow. The cpl24 is probably my favorite of the three due to the layout, size and laptop compartment
Thank you for your reply 😊 , did you try the EG mpl 22? Luck all so very nice
Thanks for the review Danny! What do you think about this bag vs. the A19 Whitley?
I love the look of the CPL24 but I feel like the lack of water bottle pockets and the mixed vertical/horizontal access seems like a design flaw. Whitley is only vertical which seems to make more sense but not sure what you think.
Thank you for watching and definitely a tough choice! The water bottle pockets is a plus for the Whitley, but I prefer the pocket layout on the cpl as well as the fact that it’s laptop compartment is separate from the main area
IMO the fact that you have vertical and horizontal access is a plus - that front vertical pocket is amazing for over shoulder access!
I really like the look of this pack and am thinking about buying. My only concern is that I want to use this as a personal item for traveling to place under the seat. Is this going to be a good size for that? have an italy trip coming and will be flying air france.
Thank you for watching! I think this size should work well for that on most airlines, it’s height might be tricky if Air France is super strict (I haven’t flown with them before) but I have used similar sized bags comfortably on Ryan air and easy jet in Europe
@dannypacks been watching many of you videos the last week trying to find what I want. I may have went a bit riskier but jumped on board with aer travel pack 3 small.... and some accessories you have recommended for travel.. still looking for more things, so thank you!
Looks like a similar basic design to the Arcido Saxon (actually Saxon V2). Also, the extra long handle on the side can serve as a luggage pass thru, no?
Thank you for watching! Saxon definitely seems like a solid alternative and that’s correct you can get away with using the handle as a luggage passthrough but it does put a lot of pressure on the handle so I would be worried about the impact to the aluminum stay
Stuck between this CPL24 bag and the Bellroy Venture Ready Pack 26L. I'll be using it as a personal item for travel as well as an EDC. Have any thoughts or preferences between these packs? To note, I rarely use water bottle holders. Thanks
Thank you for watching! Both are really great overall, I might lean slightly towards the cpl given it’s pocket layout and the fact that it holds its shape better and it has the dedicated laptop sleeve but if you want something that looks slimmer when it’s not as full or if EVERGOODS harness is not a good fit then the venture ready might be a better option
@@dannypacksThanks for the feedback. I did some additional research and ended up going with the Aer City Pack Pro XPac. I loved the Evergoods, but I typically only carry an iPad when traveling. It seems that the laptop compartment is more dedicated volume wise on the Evergoods. Seems like the Aer has the separate compartment, but it isn’t quite a segregated volume wise. Luggage pass through was also nice.
It’s supposed to arrive tomorrow, so we’ll see. Thanks again for all the great reviews!
Thank you so much for showing the fit compared to the ctb35. Your reviews are the best and that really helped me make my decision!
I chose this one over the CPP and Tomtoc TechPack-73. My only grip with this bag is the price point and straps don’t seem as nice as the other two.
Thank you for watching! All the bags are really quite solid, the straps on the cpl are definitely different but I think they will be just as durable, and the Cpl layout is probably my favorite of the 3:)
If you could only choose one CTB26 vs CPL24 v3, which would you choose?
Thank you for watching and definitely a tough choice! Even tho the size is a little big for edc if I could only keep one I would go with the CTB26 since I really like the water bottle pockets, luggage passthrough, and the additonal quick access pocket on the front
Great question that I was curious about!!
what material do you prefer for this pack?
Thank you for watching! So far I’ve really been liking the nylon on the v3 for its durability and the fact it doesn’t attract dirt / lint so much
Hello, which one do you like more, CPL 26 or Bellroy Venture 26
Thank you for watching! Although I really like the bellroy venture, overall I still prefer the evergoods CPL and CTB due to the pocket layout and the harness system
This or the Aer pro pack? Thanks
Thank you for watching! Both are great overall, I find the pro pack slightly more comfortable and it’s nice it has water bottle pockets and a luggage passthrough, but overall I prefer the aesthetic and pocket layout of the CPL24 and it’s the one I use more regularly
yall didnt like the 500d it used to come with?
Thank you for watching! I personally liked the 500d as far as the look and durability it just attracted a ton of dust and lint
Best design, too bulky lookin for edc. 🤷🏻♂️. Cpl 18-20coming soon i hope
Thank you for watching! Would definitely be cool to see the cpl form factor in another size, maybe it could replace their PLC backpack
it looks better than the ctb
Thank you for watching! Definitely a great looking bag, the size and silhouette is tough to beat!
Is this a 2022 or 2023?
Thank you for watching! I’m not sure exactly when it came out but it is the latest version that has the newer fabric and breathable back panel
I have always liked a lot Evergoods bags but I will never buy because their prices are completely rubbish and unjustified. If some want to be docile sheep ok for them but personally never.
For the price of this bag you can have a Fjallraven 28L Skule or Raven + Wotancraft Pilot 7L + Wotancraft Pilot 3,5L
Seriously, no debate ...
have a whattttt????? lmfao. just got to target bro.
Just say you can't afford them.
I tried to like evergoods but their quality was lacking in comparison to goruck
hmmm... i see where you're going with this one, butttt.... in what way? We know for sure it isnt built as tough as goruck, but where is that line where enough is enough? You really dont need goruck toughness for edc..... .... .. . . .... .. ... .
@@PanaMaJwaaRdTo me it's below my standards of build quality. Not to mention the ever good founders are out of shape and sloppy looking Which they're bags are a mirror reflection of their mindset. But for each his own.
@@noctilucent7396 i see. Maybe your uses are much more rough than their target audience? So maybe thats why you dont gel with it. They say its a "crossover pack", but to me, its very clearly an urban edc bag(s). If you are ripping and putting holes in 500d and beyond materials in the city..... then thats on some other world stuff there. I dont see the materials to lack, in fact, we love hyping 1000d(which i own a bunch of gorucks myself), but in reality, i couldnt break not even 210d material if i tried to. I dont see the material thing. Their bags arnt that floppy, hell, the goruck 500d bag is floppy, thats floppy...
@PanaMaJwaaRd I use their gr1 heritage bag it's very luxurious while also having strength and being understated. Just like a Land Cruiser
@@noctilucent7396That’s honestly the most backwards logic I’ve ever heard.
I’m having the toughest time deciding between the AER Travel Pack 3, the Evergoods CPL 28L and the Able Carry Max Backpack for my two week trip through Asia in November. All very good bags! 🫨
I have all three backpacks (with evergoods cpl being 24L). For a two week trip, definitely AER Travel pack 3! That bag is so Good for organizing and capacity. I would go for the x-pac version if you can. It's so durable and easy to clean.
@@justcarryonnow I’m currently torn between the TP3 and the TP3 Small. I’ve heard both are very comfortable, breathable and both check the boxes. The TP3 does have a bigger water bottle slot than the small. My only concern is if the regular is too big or if the small is just the right size because it’ll be placed underneath the seat on my flight and I’ll only be backing two outfits and toiletries just to be safe since I’m checking my suitcase in. Any additional insight regarding those two choices would be greatly appreciated and helpful. Thank you!
@@logan_HBTFD a 35l bag underneath a seat is pushing it imo.
I have the aer CPP and completely stuffed I think the dept might already be an issue.
I took the CPP because it is my carry on and I have an additional checked bag.
For one bag I prefer 35-40l
