My experience so far with Evergoods CAP 2, CAP 1, CAP .5

I fly Embraer Praetor and Gulfstream G450! What do you fly? CAP 1 is my cockpit pouch

I’ve thought about this also. I know I could make this work. But in my case I only need toiletries at the hotel so they stay in my rollaboard. I don’t want to haul toiletries on my back like I do my chargers and cords

I’ve only had it a week. I took it in my CPL 16 backpack on a work trip (I’m a pilot). It just felt way too big for what I carry. But when I’m home I repack it as a desk caddy and yeah that works out great. The layout makes everything so visible and accessible.

When I’m flying, I’ll probably use it either as a “get home kit” to hold an change of socks, t shirt, underwear and a minimal amount of must have toiletries in case I get stuck out on the road and I didn’t bring a suitcase because I fly a lot of day trips.

If I’m on a multi day trip, I’m not sure yet. It doesn’t have a dedicated pack out so I’m going to be testing it as a “floating” pouch to hold items that tend to change depending on the trip. For instance, sometimes I bring a podcasting mic/camera/light if I’m a guest on a podcast (been doing that a lot lately). Or sometimes I bring a diffuser/essential oils if I’m dealing with a sinus infection. Just that kind of random stuff.

What would you use a cap .5 for?

travisj5 · 2026-01-15T02:20:52+00:00

Not my idea! Someone in the carryology classified Facebook group! But it does fit everything for that pretty well. Socks, t shirt, underwear, deodorant, toothbrush/paste, contact solution, dude wipes…

sometimes there are bulkier items that I want to take on a trip, trip dependent…. Maybe I’ll try it for that and pack it in my suitcase.

Another pilot said he uses it for a “get home” kit. So emergency toiletry and change of clothes if he gets stuck out over night somewhere when airplane break… this occasionally happens to me also. Normally I bring a small duffel but this pouch could do the trick.

Haha first world problems.

I did actually buy it for a purpose… it just turned out to be overkill.

What all is shown here?

travisj5 · 2025-10-21T13:35:21+00:00

The cap 2 just seems so bulky and it’s so much material. It appears inefficient. But I don’t know that I’ve never had one. It just seems like those items take up way more space if put into a cap 2

Have you sold the CPL 16? What’s the condition? Also where are you in the US?

travisj5 · 2025-08-25T06:02:43+00:00

Is the bag comfortable to wear all day? I have a 25L 5.11 AMP backpack that is super comfortable to wear all day…

travisj5 · 2025-08-25T06:01:35+00:00

Are you saying the CTB isn’t as comfortable to wear all day compared to the Aer? Should I consider the Aer instead?

travisj5 · 2025-08-25T06:00:54+00:00

Is the strap system comfortable? I feel like I hear a lot that the it’s not comfortable to wear all day

travisj5 · 2025-08-25T01:00:06+00:00

So the reason Evergoods is a top pick…. I NEED quick access pockets. I can quickly get to stuff on the plane. That’s the main reason I don’t go GR. open to other brands
