The variety of textures in the kislux pack is impressive. From smooth leather to textured suede, there's something for everyone.
Finally a review on the CTB20. Thank you 🙏. I had the opportunity to hands on the display unit of the CTB20 in a local shop here in Malaysia and here are my initial thoughts. Its a slightly smaller version of the CTB26, which I have in OD Green. All the quick access compartments are slightly smaller because Evergoods slimmed down the bag's height and length. The width and depth still remains more or less the same from the CTB26. It's much easier to strap up the CTB20 on my back and it's much better for EDC because EDC bags usually are between the 18L - to 22L range.
I may buy a CTB20 for myself if Evergoods can release in other colours in October.
My travel setup is CTB26 for personal items (packable daypack inside the laptop compartment) and Bellroy Venture Duffel 40L for clothes and souvenirs. The cool thing is that I can one bag travel with either the CTB26 or the Venture Duffel.
Dude, you just pulling out backpacks I was waiting for a rabbit and a juggling clown lol 😂
Great video loved the comparisons
😂😂😂
Great review as usual, thank you!
Weight: 3lbs 2oz (1417g): too much for me.
Yeah, I don’t understand how weight doesn’t get mentioned more often in all bag discussions. I’m considering basically only the MPL22 purely due to the weight.
20L is not conducive for a one-bag travel. Furthermore, there are many 20L in the market that are more versatile, lighter weight and less expensive.
There are those who just one bag travel with a 20L bag. If you can make it work for you, why not? The reason why Evergoods made the CTB20 is because they received multiple requests for a smaller CTB. There are those who like the features of the CTB but 35L and 26L is too big for them.
I have the CTB26 and I can either do one bag travel or 2 bag travel with a duffel or luggage.
I have hands on the CTB20 in the store in my local area and I can tell you it's the exact bag as the CTB35 and the CTB26, the only difference is the dimensions, which is quite marginal but it makes a difference in the volume capacity.
Initially I wanted the CTB35 but after comparing side by side with the CTB26 I picked the latter.
Side note: The Pakt 35L Travel Pack is less bulkier than the CTB35 when both are packed to the brim.
I think that if you’re a purist one bagger, EVERGOODS bags in general are too heavy for those folks. Finding a maker like ULA or similar who leverages lightweight materials and prioritizes function or features is the best route.
If I was strictly one bagging I probably wouldn’t choose this either as you don’t need the luggage pass through. But, with that said, the CTB line pairs extremely well with roller luggage.
Ultimately it’s always user preference and needs that dictate what bag is best for YOU.
It looks way bigger than a 20L
Great review man. Really thorough. I think this helped convince me to go CTB20 over CTB26 for EDC law school carry. I just think the form factor of the 26 might prove a tad unwieldy.
I think it’s a smart move. The CTB is a larger EDC bag style bag as is and the 26L variant is noticeably larger.
This bag ticks off every single need I have for EDC with one drawback being the depth. It’s unavoidable unless we are able to bend the laws of physics. Not a dealbreaker and it is categorised as a travel bag after all.
That’s a good perspective. Lots of folks are not in favor of this bag, due to the depth but it’s called the CTB20. The PLC20 would be your every day carry backpack from EVERGOODS but this is feature rich. Dedicated laptop compartment, luggage pass through, dual quick access pockets and great organization throughout the bag. I think it’s worth the depth and weight to get all that in a 20L format.
Wife and I are flying to bahamas for a week vacation with our 2 daughters. I am struggling to figure out what to use for travel carry on and personal item. Do you have a recommendation of what might work for carry on and personal item like doubling up. or going with 1 that will fit under the seat possibly. All I am bringing on the plain is ipad, change of clothes, small items like hand sanitizer, glasses, a book and heaphones. I thought a backpack and a sling bag would be ideal so I can store the backpack but I don't know. Do I go with a bigger backpack and also a smaller backpack? This is a wild ride figuring out what to even buy.
Edit: Everything else will be in checked luggage so I won't have to worry about it.
Good question! Here’s my take - Since you’ve mentioned you’ve got checked bags, I’m assuming the backpack would be your carry on and if you had a sling, it would be your personal item.
The CTB26 is pretty big, in a good way. I’m assuming your change of clothes won’t take up too much space in the bag leaving you plenty of room. Are you carrying other people’s change of clothes too?
The ipad, book, glasses and other small things can easily be placed in specific pockets or perhaps in a sling which you then have at the ready and place the bag in the overhead bin. You should have ample space I’m a bag like the CTB26.
When I travel, it’s often with the CTB26, I like to pair it with a sling that can fit just about everything I need for the flight, and also works well for my day to day vacation carry needs.
@@ECsEDC Thank you for the detailed reply. I managed to get a reply from Evergoods and just got an expedited order for a 26 that should be here before the trip. That plus two slings from amazon to try before we leave so I am going to give this a shot. I went cheap on slings from tomtoc so will see how that goes. I will only be carrying 1 change of clothes for myself and 1 for my wife but no shoes or sandles. we usually do this just in case checked bags delay or get lost somehow and we need to have a day or so of changes.
@@thereal-ghost Awesome! Also, I've heard great things about the Tomtoc products, especially for that price point. If it's comfy, I think you'll be very happy. Enjoy your trip and let me know what you think of the CTB!
If the CPL 16 had at least one water bottle pocket, it would be my ideal EDC bag. The CTB20 is just really bulky. It’s really hard trying to decide between the two. I’m a bit lost. Damnit.
I don’t disagree. Maybe one day the CPL will be released with a bottle pocket but I’m not optimistic.
@@ECsEDC of the two, which will you be carrying around the most (not traveling)?
@@mr_red13 Definitely the 20L. It fits more use cases more often. I’d rather carry the extra 4 liters and not need them than need more room after using up all 16 liters in the CPL16.
I think you missed mentioning laptop compartment at all. I did like the comparison to the other Evergoods bags.
I think you’re right lol. My bad…
Good news is that it’s identical to the other CTBs and CPLs. They all fit up to a 16” MBP!
what was the cost?
Almost $300
$259 USD from EVERGOODS
Bulky bag pack! The weakness point is the straps.
Too heavy.
For a bag to look that fat and be 8.5 on paper and carry those 3 things is WILLLLLLLD. I guess ill stay in the .00000000727292 % who thinks these evergoods bags are way too fat for edc.
This is marketed as a travel bag.
@@ghas4151 people are praising it as edc bag. Ik its name. Why try to be disingenuous ?
I think it’s marketed as an EDC because of two exterior water bottle pockets, ability to store laptop, a large packing cube and Dopp kit and has a luggage pass through. It’s not a one bag travel bag, but a great bag to use as say a carry on for the plane, with a checked or carry on roller
