All the CAPs in Signal Blue & Ultra Red available starting tomorrow - what are y'all getting?
From the email:
In the early days of EVERGOODS, two vivid colors appeared in our lineup for a brief period. Inspired by technical mountain gear, these high-visibility hues were designed to stand out when visibility is a matter of life or death.
We named them: Signal Blue and Ultra Red.
Both were produced in extremely limited runs, sold out, and haven't returned since.
That changes tomorrow at 8am MDT.
For the first time in 5+ years, Signal Blue and Ultra Red are back, fully stocked across all three CIVIC Access Pouches: 0.5L, 1L, and 2L.
Unlike the initial run, the quantities are not limited. For years, you've asked for these colors through customer surveys, waitlists, emails, and social comments. Tomorrow's release is built to finally meet that pent up demand.
We're also restocking many of our bestselling pouch colors, including several that have been unavailable for months.

CBT26 Strap keepers
Apart from the cheap generic strap keepers I can get on Amazon, does anyone have any recommendations for some premium/fitted strap keepers to put on my CBT26?

Evergoods MHP3.5 (Standard 420D vs X-Pac) vs Fjällräven Ulvö Large?
Hey everyone,
I’m looking for a clean, non-tactical true waist/hip pack (worn strictly around the waist/hips, no sling mode) for my daily EDC and toddler-parent setup. I need some real-world advice, especially regarding the Evergoods MHP3.5 Standard vs. X-Pac version.
My Daily Loadout (~3.5L capacity needed):
Small retro handheld console (Retroid Pocket)
Smartphone & Secrid wallet
Power bank + cable
Hard glasses case
Toddler essentials (wet wipes, small snack)
My Priorities are the following:
Comfort & Strap Quality: Must have a soft, non-abrasive strap (seatbelt webbing feel) that doesn't dig in or pill my shirts.
Body Conformity / Low Profile: I dislike the "rigid box" look on my hips. I ruled out stiffer Cordura packs (like the Helikon Bandicoot) because they don't conform to the body and keep their max bulk even when half-empty.
Clean Urban Aesthetic: Minimalist, no MOLLE/tactical vibes.
From all the hip pack, these are the packs that i choose, but i need some "real life usage opinion" from "common people/not-influencers or similar"
Evergoods MHP3.5 (Standard 420D Nylon vs. X-Pac / VX42):
My main dilemma: For those who wear the MHP3.5 on the waist—does the X-Pac version feel noticeably stiffer, boxier, or noisier on the hips compared to the Standard 420D Nylon?
I love the 3D ergonomic patterning and interior layout, but I’m worried the laminated X-Pac material won't drape or flex as well against the body as the standard nylon. Is the X-Pac worth the extra cost for hip carry, or does Standard win on comfort/flexibility?
Fjällräven Ulvö Hip Pack Large (4L):
I really like the bottom compression straps to squish the bag flat when carrying fewer items.
Downside: Lacks the 3D curved body fit and the internal pocket organization of Evergoods.
Evergoods CAS2 (2L):
Love the sleek look and seatbelt strap, but pretty sure 2L is just too small for my load without bursting at the seams.
Does the MHP3.5 X-Pac feel too rigid/boxy for comfortable waist wear compared to the Standard 420D?
Does the MHP3.5 feel overly bulky on the hips for a 3.5L pack, or does the 3D curve do its job?
Are there any other clean ~3.5L–4L true hip packs with ultra-soft straps I should consider?
Thanks in advance for your insights!

CPL 16 with some blue
This is my brand new CPL 16 with some custom blue. Very happy with it, zippers are so smooth.
I was previously running the Kludde MPL22, it is a great backpack but for EDC it is a little too big.
The CPL 16 fits perfectly my needs.

Warehouse finds
They restocked some long-sold-out items yesterday after cleaning their warehouse or something to that effect - some sold out really quickly (eg, the CAPs in Konbu, Kludde MPL22 in black), but a few things are still up.
They have a few of the Konbu totes, yellow MPL22, and several TB22 left as of this post.

Joining the Evergoods Ecosphere!
Relatively new to the Carry Community, started with an AER TP3S, added an Able Carry Daily Plus but then I discovered the Evergoods X-PAC Summer Capsule and had to get a CAP 2 and a CTB26 and though not X-PAC a CAP .5. The organizational layout and the way they interact with each other is fantastic. It’s my Goldilocks bag sitting between the AER for travel and the Able Carry as a daypack. My only qualm is the feel of the top and side handles. They absolutely do not need the rigid plastic insert, it’s just too uncomfortable and the only flaw on another wise awesome bag. The CAP 2 fits perfectly in the main compartment and gives it a perfect base. The CAP .5 holds my smaller gear and slips easily into the yoke pocket. Highly recommend!

CAS2 or MHP3.5?
Planning a two week trip to Istanbul and looking for the right EDC sling/hip pack. Would appreciate your mileage reports to help make the choice between these two.
**Edit to include likely packout:
25oz Yeti Rambler, scarf, small umbrella as needed, wallet, keys, notebook, pen, snacks. Room for small purchases during the day a plus.

CTB20 is so uncomfortable - alternatives?
Love the organization of this bag but it is so uncomfortable. I tried to convince myself on two trips saying things like "it's not too bad" and "it'll break in".
I took my TB Techonaut 30 on a trip today, first time since buying the CTB20. Wow.. so much more comfortable. CTB20 is going up for sale when I get home.
Might look at an Able Carry Daily Plus or TB Synik 26.

Back ventilation mod
I use my CPL24 for hiking (I know, I know, these bags are too heavy for serious hiking, bla bla bla). My biggest gripe was always how hot my back gets, as the back panel is not very well ventilated. I went to Acadia National Park this past weekend and decided to try this cheap ventilation sheet from Luna Project (size small). 10-11mile hike, temperature high in the 80's, about 7hrs outdoors total. Did my back still get sweaty? Yes absolutely, there's no way around that. BUT that little bit of separation felt nice. I got a little more wind going through, but more importantly, I didn't feel as sticky-icky. My whole back didn't feel like it was pressed up against a wall. It's quite thin, very lightweight, slides nicely into the sleeve in the main compartment when I'm not using it. It was well worth the cheap price.

Sympl Commuter 20L vs EVERGOODS CPL16: First Impressions
Just got the Sympl Commuter 20L and wanted to share some initial impressions before I start putting it through heavier use this week.
Overall, the quality is really nice. I chose the ballistic fabric, and while it feels premium, I don’t think it feels quite as high quality as the material on my EVERGOODS CPL16. That’s not to say it feels cheap by any means. It still feels like a very well-made bag.
The small front pocket is accessible from the side, and there’s a magnetic key attachment inside, which is a really nice touch.
The accordion-style internal organization is probably one of the most interesting parts of the bag. It’s pretty unique, and I can already see myself using it extensively. Very happy about that.
It also has a clamshell opening, which for me is pretty much a must-have on a backpack.
There’s an external water bottle compartment that can be unzipped to accommodate larger bottles. I know this exists on other bags, but it’s the first time I’ve personally had one like this. It looks like it will eat into some of the interior space depending on what you put in there, but I’m fine with that tradeoff.
The exterior handles are very substantial and feel high quality. The backpack straps also seem extremely comfortable so far.
I’d seen some people mention that the back padding was quite hard, but it doesn’t feel nearly as stiff as I expected. I’m personally not concerned about it at this point, but I’ll report back after actually carrying it for longer periods.
All of the zippers feel incredibly high quality. Not much else to say here… No complaints here.
I love the materials used for the interior and find the color to be very pleasing to the eye.
One thing I’ve noticed is that the exterior fabric has some wrinkles when the bag isn’t fully packed out. We’ll see whether that gets better or worse as the bag breaks in.
For context, I absolutely loved my EVERGOODS CPL16 and probably would have kept using it indefinitely, but my dumb ass allowed a banana to rot inside it. I could never completely get the smell out, so I took that as an opportunity to try something different.
My very early impression is that this bag actually has the potential to beat out the CPL16 as my end-game everyday bag, but I’m definitely not ready to say that yet.
I’ll start putting it through heavy use this week and report back.

I don’t know how, but a seller in China just posted a CTB waxed canvas OLIVE for sale
I’m not the seller and I have no idea if this is legit. The seller claims he got it offline at a store. Not sure how that’s possible, but honestly, it looks really good from the photos.

Evergoods CAP2 - Used for Resmed AirMini
I have seen several people comment that they use the Evergoods CAP 2 for the Resmed AirMini, does anyone have actual pictures? I am thinking of buying the AirMini and am looking for the best way to pack it for travel in my backpack. I currently use the PeakDesign Small Camera Cube for my Airsense 11.

Would it be fine to put a fountain pen horizontally in the CPL 16 front pocket?
I’m looking at getting my first fountain pen (Lamy safari). Does anyone carry one in the front vertical pocket in their Evergoods bag? The pen holder would have the pen placed horizontally. Would that eventually cause a spill?
I usually use disposable rolling ball pens from pilot. If this would be a problem I’ll just keep using those.

ISO CTB 20 Waxed Canvas
I have the CTB 26 and was thinking I needed to add the smaller brother to the collection. I have all black bags so was hoping to find a waxed version.
The website says they may have another batch in October but I'm impatient .....
If you have one you're thinking about getting rid of please dm me.

I finally sold all of my Evergoods bags! It was all because of the fitting issues and the cheap shoulder strap webbing quality.
The reason I sold all three of my Evergoods bags boils down to the exact same issues. First, the shoulder strap webbing is fraying, looking like shedding fur, and I absolutely hate looking at it. Second, all three of my bags (CHZ22, CBB22, PLC20) are incredibly uncomfortable to wear; it feels like they never fit my body properly.
I feel like Evergoods bags are designed to be worn high up on the shoulders and tight against the back. However, in this position, the straps become very short. When I take the bag off or put it back on, the strap webbing constantly rubs aggressively against my arms, causing the webbing to fray terribly, just like in the picture! Ultimately, I decided to just sell them all. Don't get me wrong, I absolutely love Evergoods' styling, including their pouches and slings—I own several of them and will definitely keep using them. But as for their backpacks, I am selling every single one.
As a side note, I own several backpacks from other brands like AER, Alpaka, Fjallraven, and Thule. None of the shoulder webbing on those bags has ever experienced this "fraying" issue like Evergoods does. To be completely honest, Evergoods' shoulder webbing feels the cheapest of them all, sorry to say!
I’m going to attach an example so the problem is perfectly clear. Photos belongs to someone else who experienced the exact same issue with their Evergoods straps, and mine looked exactly like this too.

Ricoh GR in CAS2 Back pocket
Fits perfect in the back left pocket of the bag. I think I’ll forgo the camera sleeve now and let it live here when now in use.

CPL16 vs CPL24 stiffness
Hey everyone,
I wanted to try out CPL line for some time now and around two months ago I got an amazing deal to buy new CPL16 secondhand. The back came with tags and I fell in love. It hold its shape great and was just perfect for me in terms of features. Although I bought it mostly just to try out Evergoods product, as I had no experience with them previously.
Not much after getting CPL16 I found used CPL24 that I wanted to be my default for daily carry, since I also carry gym outfit and sometimes keyboard in addition to typical office stuff. CPL24 was also secondhand, but this time already with some mileage.
The main difference I notice (other than volume ofc) is that CPL16 holds its shape way way better. With CPL24 sometimes I struggle to pull on the zippers without holding the bag with other hand and with CPL16 it is not that big of an issue.
Now comes the question – is CPL16 just better than CPL24 in holding its shape because it is smaller or is there also some difference between the two bags I got? I am really curious to hear everyone’s experience and opinions. Posting tag photos for reference.
