One additional feature worth mentioning is the floating luggage pass-through on the CTB20. And I believe all of these bags have the option of using a hydration bladder with the access for the tube on the straps.
Definitely a good call out but I elected to omit that as I felt it was a fairly obvious feature for the CTB. And yes, all the bags are compatible with a hydration bladder.
I appreciate a dude dedicated to mastering his craft. And by this I mean the fact I didn’t hear a single teeth suck throughout this comparison. Kudos Eric
Thanks John - totally agree. I will say I’ve learned to get past the lack of side/bottle pockets making the CPL very ideal for daily needs. If I’m in travel mode I gotta have side pockets. Can’t sacrifice them at that point.
In your opinion, would CTB20 cut it for hiking needs. I’m looking at a hiking trip, and would like to bring along my TD35. I already own CTB26 and CPL24.
If you’re not planning on any other hikes, if just use the bags you already have. No point to purchase the CTB20 for hiking when you have the CTB26 and CPL24 - unless you really want it 😎 If you plan on more hikes and being outdoors more often, and still want something from EVERGOODS, I’d say the MPL22. Otherwise I’d go something more hiking specific like Osprey for a purpose built backpack.
thank you for replying! I forgot to mention that my “hike” is really an overnight kind of thing at best, and walking up stairs at mountains or some more civilised trails, cos I am still very much a newbie hiker. Other times depending on how the situation calls it I will still be using the bag daily, and I have very much a digital nomad too bringing my laptop and work around. In an ideal world I can see myself using the MPL for hiking biking and whenever I go for fun activities, while also using my CTB20 as EDC and light travel (along with my TD which can hold most, if not all of my essentials anyway). But now money is tight and time is tight with the OD Green selling out soon. If you were to bite the bullet and choose one, which one would you get first, at least?
What’re you grabbing most often when not traveling? I’m still waiting for my CPL16 to arrive this month but am curious what your go-to is at the moment.
I feel like I’ve been bouncing around but overall, I’ve been using my Filip Raboch Daypack lately, and now the new Wanderer. But the CPL16 is just such an awesome daily bag.
I had the CPL16 on pre-order but emailed them and swapped to the CTB 20 just due to the flexibility. You can do EDC/work and travel with one bag. Plus the water bottle pockets are so minimal you don't notice them...And they are literally the same except bag but you get the extra top pocket on the CTB20. The only difference is the width really. Oh and for me the key clip is in the correct spot on the CTB. But hard choice both great bags.

😂 heard that feedback and I’ve been working on it. Thanks haha
Great video Eric 💪🏽 definitely love the look of the CPL and the functionality of the CTB.

Awesome 👏
Thank you! Cheers!

best in class weight
I dont carry laptops
I don’t think there is a better choice for me :)
Exactly! Gotta pick based on your needs. The MPL22 is such a great bag.

I’d buy the bag that would be used the most, overall.

Why did you leave out your new CBB22?
It’s not a standard release product, yet.
