“I absolutely love this backpack, and when you combine it with Ecopak, it is just an awesome mix. The bag is super variable, and can easily go from a long hike on a Sunday to work the follow day, either in black for a more professional and classic look, or for coyote, which looks really good in-person, compared with the photos of it, which must've been taken on a dark and gloomy day. I've been in heavy rain with this backpack, and the interior wasn't wet at all afterwards.
All in all, it is a great take on a classic - two super useful front pockets, including an extremely never-ending dump pocket, two internal pockets that are equally as useful, a laptop compartment at the back of the interior, the roomy main cavity. Whatever it might be about the bag - especially the incredible Ecopak and the watch/utility pockets - it is 100% worth the cost. Just go for it, you won't be disappointed!
Likewise, the CPL24 and the various pouches in Ecopak are a great upgrade from standard nylon. It is hardy, feels durable (more so than X-Pac), is easy to clean, is weatherproof, doesn't make any "crinkly" sounds, and as always, you have peace of mind with the great Rushfaster returns period, along with the lifetime guarantee that comes with the standard of Evergoods. Really, really like this bag, and if you're looking for a perfect match of EDC and a bag for the trail, look no further (the reviews on EG's website also speak for themselves, with the bag being super well-received).”
