After 3 weeks of use this is my review and opinion on the Evergoods Civic Travel Bag 20L. Thank you to my daughter Felicity for the video editing and background music!
Thanks for checking out my video...I agree I'm not a huge fan of wider or deeper looking bags. I have a GR1 21 and it's too wide and Evergoods has always had that look but it also helps with it standing on it's own as well. I did pick up a Ctactical CT15 (ctactical.vn/collections/ct15-backpack/products/ct15-v3-0-backpack-slick-design-nylon-500d-ripstop) and I really like the dimensions on it. I know there is a lot of drama surrounding them within the bag community, I won't get into that but I have to say the bag is great dimensionally and the zippers are the smoothest zips I have ever used in my life. I am going to be doing a video on that shortly.
Thanks for checking out the video and stopping by… Compared to my double compartment 18L bullet this definitely has a lot more room and capability in it however, in my opinion, they both look a little bit big and the depth of them hanging off my shoulders is certainly more noticeable than something like a Belroy transit work pack. That all being said the organization out of the CTB20 is so amazing. I love this bag.
@@rounder1980 Thanks for checking out the video…the biggest water bottle I had available was a 32oz Camelback chute and that fits very well. It does stretch pretty tight with that so I would say anything over 40oz might be an issue.
Thanks for checking out the video...I like the CTB20L better...both sit off the back a good bit but the CTB20 is organized a lot better for my daily usage. The double compartment really doesn't work as well for me. The extra compartment is not as helpful as I wanted it to be...and I love bottle holders!
Currently the best review on youtube of the CTB20 with detailed look at all pockets and features
Thanks for stopping by and checking it out! Super glad to hear you liked it!
Nice review. I wish they made both this and the DC Bullet taller and less deep. They both look boxy when packed out.

Thanks for stopping by and checking out the video...glad it helped!
Great review! Comparison to bullet?

All of Evergoods bag stand if you have a cap2 horizontal on the base
Agreed, it certainly helps! :) It's a good base to help the bag stand for sure!
What is the largest water bottle you can squeeze in there?

Prefer this or the DC 18L bullet?
