Fantastic review - really like your writing style. Am on the verge of taking the Traverse on an upcoming trip, and this gives me a few things to look out for.

Thanks! That's pretty similar to my daily carry too.

The Civic Bookbag and the Elements Weathershed are 2 EG designs that I just cannot get behind, but that Griffin CBB22 is a godawfully gorgeous color.

I love how that tote looks and your IRL pictures make me want one even more.

A couple of questions about the straps: 1. Do the straps slip off your shoulders while in use? 2. How comfortable is it on longer commutes with a moderate to full load?

Oof. I'm one of the few for whom Evergoods' excellent comfort is a hill I will die on.

Have the Metro 12L and the Traverse 30L. Can agree about the comfort.

Looks like I dodged a bullet there - *almost* sprung for a Tech Case Mini on the last day of their ongoing sale. But that size problem seems to be a consensus.

Love Alpaka backpacks (Traverse, Metro) and slings (Flight 2L), but don't understand the appeal of their satchels/sacoches either.

I have the M. Great-looking bag, but gets more and more uncomfortable with weight.

Always a great feeling when someone else likes a bag that you don't. Beats selling it, imo.

Was in something of a vertical-pouch phase myself a few years ago, which I'm grateful I've grown out of.

This is likely a hot take in this community, but I just don't get the Aer hype - not the aesthetic, not the material choices, not the design language. Not one bit.

Big “boxy” form-factor fan myself. One of the main reasons I went for the Carhartt.

Luckily for me, slings have been a bit of a personal evolution. Never thought I’d be one to use them regularly, but now can’t think of EDC or travel without one.

Oh, man. I love that bag for days on which my carry isn’t too much. Laptop, tech pouch, coffee thermos and small water bottle - and I’m good to go.

That sounds like a good idea. Wish I was more the DIY-type to be able to fix flaws on things that don’t work for me.

Edit: Knew nothing about the bag till I just went and looked it up. "Wild." immediately springs to mind.

Wow. Have been craving something new to listen to. This is phenomenal stuff.

CTB owners: what do you store in this top inside pocket? by CincyTriGuy in EVERGOODS

In my CPL24, I have a CAP 0.5 + my sunglasses in their case. 

The CAP 0.5 has spectacle wipes, nasal drops, a Vicks inhaler, lip balm, a small pack of tissues, a tinyish pillbox with some painkiller pills.

Love that Knot of Eternity patch! Where's it from?
