I wish you had made this available in waxed canvas from the get go. It seems like with a lot of releases, the "early adopters" get the short end of the stick when a subsequent version comes out later in a more interesting material. It disincentivizes getting products in the beginning in favor of a wait and see approach.
Wish there is a tote version of this, i.e. having longer grab handle, so that it is more versatile. At 20l worth of gear, it unlikely someone will be carrying it for long with the current handles and will definitely sling it.
Dinner Party mode! YES! Love that part. For me, this *might* be the perfect pilot bag...will be tough to unseat the CTB20 I use currently in that mode...can't wait to find out. Great one guys!
I’ve also been waiting for you guys to make the perfect pilots bag! Looks like this will be it! Thank you @evergoods_ ! I’m looking forward to your review JB!
I absolutely love the design, but I think the strap needs to be amazing to justify it. Especially coming at 3lbs, it has to be comfortable enough to wear over long periods of time. Can’t wait to see reviews!
Are there any additional abrasion resistant features on the base? I'm thinking of scenarios where while commuting or travelling you need it rest it on rough surfaces, e.g., asphalt or concrete? Or surfaces that aren't clean, and so might be wet or have debris?
Not really my sort of bag, but love to see that you all continue to innovate and dream up new products! Hopefully, we can also get some continued updates on older bags. Would love mirrored versions of the CPL and CTB.
It's a more complicated design with the divider, so one would expect it to be more expensive to manufacture. The difference in material cost is probably negligible.
Really well done, EXCEPT, I could never buy a shoulder bag that forces me to use the strap it came with. I do think the folding corner design is cool, but not at the sacrifice of strap selection. Sew on a couple D rings and let me use any strap I want and I’m buying.
As much as I love Evergoods this doesn't do it for me as a briefcase. It doesnt look business to me. The handle and side flaps give it a hybrid messenger/duffel look
It's certainly different than your traditional leather briefcase, but if memory serves EG did a killer leather rendition of the Transit Duffel a couple months after the initial launch. I forget what the fabric's specs were but it I would watch out for that if matte black isn't your thing.
I said it in the comments of the short video from today, but now after watching this you guys should make a camera bag… This is so close to what I truly believe would be the best shoulder style camera camera bag on the market!!! The amount of materials would almost be the same if it were not quite so deep top to bottom, a few inches sorter left to right and a few inches added front to back a removable camera insert or maybe even some kind of fold away design like you did with the divider on this. Make the coffee bottle pockets a little thicker they could be lens slots… just kinda riffing here but I am sure you can see what I am describing. Now the only question is there any camera nerds inside the EG family that will help push this idea??? lol getting this bag and modding it to hold me over until EG makes my dreams come true!!!
man, not only is this one of the coolest designs i've seen, this is one of the most thoughtful product outline videos i've seen. Very clear, very thorough.
I was hoping that the next release would be a messenger bag. To be honest, this new release is kind of m'eh. It's too niche a design and lacks the wow factor that would make me want to buy one.
This looks really cool! This is what I noticed as someone likely in your target market coming to your brand completely via the algorithm: I've never heard of you or your product lines. I had to fight through the video, and it took a long time to get any info about the bag's features. It's well shot and you two are good spokesmen, but I don't have any points of reference to your other products, so that part was lost on me. I'm still here and commenting because the aesthetic and the little bit of info about the bag (briefcase not for papers but for the modern era) kept me interested. I was on the fence about watching all of it though, so maybe a bit of work on pacing and front loading info about the bag. Cool design and I'm only sharing this because I think your work is worth perfecting the pitch to get to as many people as you can. Good luck!
So they have a style of marketing where they usually release several shorter videos on a single product going over different aspects rather than one long video. I suspect the features video and others will come in due time.
