The Evergoods Panel Loader Classic Backpack is an EDC that's excellent inside and out.
The exterior is equipped with a smooth 1680 Ballistic nylon and organization wiseโ the interior has a tech compartment that can fit up to a 17" laptop. Although most of the bag's materials scream premium, the zipper pulls feel a bit cheap.
This 20-liter backpack has a spacious front pocket, you can literally throw anything in there like a camera bag or a water bottle. On the back, you can find a sternum strap that helps in weight distribution, though at times, the excess strap can be bothersome.

What do you think? Is the lack of a water bottle holder on the exterior a deal-breaker?
-
The passion time and care that is put into each of these videos, but also the entire channel as an entity is something you should truly be proud of. I have watched just a few of your videos, but the fact that you not only are so in depth with the bag, but also follow up with precise reasoning as who this is for, and alternatives based on different needs is perfect. You are truly a master of the craft, and you've earned a sub from me. Well done. :)

Hey Nomads Nation! I've got a suggestion. When you're showing the exterior of the bag, I would pack the bag full of 20L (in this case) of stuff. It could just be random hoodies or something to give it the structure. It looks better that way and is more stable. Some bags that might not stand on their own could do so when packed out. In the case of some bags it even functions better. Like the Boundary Supply Errant. The Fidlock closing on the top compartment of that bag is annoying if there's nothing packed in the top portion but it's easy and satisfying if the top is full. I'd also show the expansion of a bag too with it packed out. Sometimes when reviewers show the expansion and say it doesn't look nice forget that it looks/functions slightly better when packed full. I never know what the Prima System's Fidlock strap expansion actually looked like until I bought it myself and packed it full. Couldn't find a single pic of it on the internet (I found it was only 30L when fully extended)

Just in time! Iโve been wanting to hear your thoughts on this bag. Been thinking of getting that or the able carry 20l. So tough!
-
The navy blue colour is amazing, I donโt think I could buy any other backpack brand Evergoods is just top quality
-
Hey Bro! Shoutout to Evergoods design: the ventilation on the back panel is better than just the diagonal crevices - the material of the actual panels (underneath the polyester) is a highly breathable mesh foam stuff. Evergoods has some great info on their design process for this new back panel. Have you noticed a difference between this bagโs breathability and prior Evergoods bags?
-
How would you compare this to the Able Carry daily backpack? Iโve used AER day pack, AER city pack, Bellroy Classic, Black Ember Shadow, and Able Carry definitely is my favourite

Hi, thanks for your nice review. I use this bag for some weeks as my new daily carry. Great backpack, I love it. Near to be perfect for me. First, it stands on its own when packed. I Iove the huge front pocket : very versatile ! Put a scarf, an umbrella, a rain jacket, a water bottle... Love the sleek look, the conception and materials. But I have cons : First, the staps are not so comfortable as they slip off my shoulders either in one shoulder mode as in two shoulders mode ! Iโm not an alien LOL, itโs because of the breathable slippy material and (did you noticed) that the two straps attachement are wide spaced : 10 cm between the straps. I have to clip the sternum stap to have a very comfortable carry (and I hate that). Second, the quick top pocket is too small. I would have prefer the same size of deepness as the CHZ26. Third, the two inner mesh pockets are great and well placed, but I would have prefer a 1 cm more in high. Iโve also added elastics to avoid the jiggling experience !

With Bellroy Transit Workpack compare about comfortable, which one recommend?
-
Keep up the great work! would love to see your videos in 4k
-
I have this bag. I like it but doesnt get that much time in the rotation because of the lack of water bottle hodler. If only they had one on one side in the big dump pocket up front. Other than that, this bag is amazing. The 1680 is just indestructable. Looks brand new still after following me to multiple trips domestically and internationally.
-
Its nice but too small for my EDC; I just got my Able Carry Max today and I am excited to see if it works for me.
-
I really, really, really hope you do a review on the Ltt Backpack, it looks like they did a fantastic job on it and I would love to see you put it to the test and compare it to other bags
-
How does this compare to Black Ember Shadow 22? For minimal office use?
-
Hi there, great video. What is the brand of your camera cube?
-
Any plans to review the CHZ22/26 V2? Would love to see it!
-
Would love to see your review of the TropicFeel Shell
-
Great video, Love the bag. Really like the front stash pocket. I donโt care about water bottle pockets I have zero problems putting my thermos inside my bags, but the front pocket on this bag looks like it can easily handle my 40 oz bottle. But I HATE the dangling straps. Iโd definitely have to put velcro strips to act as keepers on those straps. NO DANGLE lol
-
Would you say this could be a packable daypack? Or is it too bulky?
-
Hey mate, can you review Lander Commuter Bag?
