I'm in the same boat! Also have the CTB26 which is my "go to" travel bag now after going through about 25+ bags. Also looking at the Bullet 18L Double Compartment. Would greatly appreciate if you reviewed that too as a smaller/daily bag!
I picked up the 18L Double Compartment last week and I have to say so far I love it! I'm going to give it another week or so and then do a video on it but it fits everything I had in my CTB26 and it's definitely much smaller form factor to carry around. I'm really starting to like the Bullet line for a lot of different items in my life.
Great reviews. Would appreciate a little more background on high level packing requirements. Are you packing for daily commute, day trip, work trip, etc. Obviously, we can see what you're actually packing so that is clear. But maybe try to extrapolate your experiences to the other groups?
Thanks for stopping by and checking out the video… those are great points and I'll have to start adding that into my videos, thanks for the input. Most of my travel is local and typically for a day commute either by train or car. However, I might also start adding a few more videos in when I take them on a overnight or weeklong trip.
Unfortunately I do not have any experience with the Evade 1.5...however with bags in general each brand's version of liters seems to not be in line with others. Biggest example is if you look at a GoRuck liter size because it doesn't have as many pockets you can typically fit much more than a bag from another brand with more pockets and organization. I will say the Evergoods CTB26 has a good amount of pockets and I can definitely fit more that 26L worth in my opinion however it does look big for sure.
Thanks for checking out my video! You have me cracking up laughing! LOL! I’m in total agreement with you that it’s chunkier than I would like it to be…I think that is why I like the way the CHZ26 carries better. That being said I do love the organization of this one and just deal with the larger feel on my back. If it’s not crazy packed out you can pat it down and it will look a bit better but it definitely has a bigger type feel!
@Bowmanthebagguy it's the material. I loved my cpl v3, BUT, it wanted to POOF! So frustrating. I put an ear bud in the bag, and later that day, it looked like I had 17L worth of stuff in it. I think for travel this is great. I dont think it's the bag as much as it is the material. I would for reference own the ct26, but the cpl due to it being chunky for edc is in an awkward place. Still drooling over the though of a cpl17 ish
@@x-Musashi-x i did not. I will though try it out. I didnt because im getting pther bags currently, and i saw the 16L and the design language is still chunky lol. Im in the minority here where i like my bags svelt, like a rocket ship on my back lol. Its why i like to use TAD products. Going fatter has zero appeal to my *** for eddc ***. Also why i didnt bother with bullet 16L or 18L, they just got fatter in design. I will test out the 16L though for sure to answer your question lol.
Great reviews Ryan! Appreciate the details and thoughts. Keep em coming 🤙

I'm trying to visualize this pack versus the evade 1.5 and the ctb looks much bigger than the 1L difference
