EVERGOODS CHZ26 water bottle pocket holes The elastic also keeps the pockets close to the body of the bag so they don’t stick out when not in use. They’re made of a nylon and polyurethane blend and have an elastic band around the rim that holds your bottle tightly in place. That may be a bit weird, though, so we won’t. These things are so stretchy and soft that we could touch them all day. Even when using both at the same time, they didn’t eat up any space on the inside of the bag. For maniacs like us with a separate thermos for coffee and water, this is pretty boss. Yes, there two of them, one on either side of the bag. Let’s back up to those water bottle pockets. It has two water bottle pockets, a comfortable harness system, a sturdy back panel, and… okay… hold up… deep breath. There are so many awesome features on the cheese before you even open it up, we don’t know where to start. External Components Left: Mark Hurrish, Height: 5’10” (178 cm), Torso: 19” (48 cm) | Right: Randiah Green, Height: 5’4” (162 cm), Torso: 19” (48 cm) The zippers can be a bit sticky at first but loosen up over time. We’ve also got some hefty Duraflex hardware and YKK racquet coil zippers. If you don’t have any fur babies at home, no need to worry, but it’s definitely something to consider if you’re a pet owner.įor the interior, there’s a slightly lighter 420d high tenacity 6,6 nylon material in a grey color that makes it easy to see what’s inside. On days we couldn’t be bothered with the lint roller, showing up to work with cat hair on our coat became a new fashion trend. Having to lint roll your backpack every morning before walking out the door with it is pretty time-consuming. But it’s still pretty bad, especially if you have a long-haired cat or dog that sheds a lot. Compared to earlier EVERGOODS bags like the CPL24, the dust and lint attraction isn’t as bad. While the stiffness didn’t bug us too much, one downside of this fabric is its ability to attract pet hair. The weather resistant coating does fine in light rain, but in a torrential downpour, you’re gonna want to put a rain shell over it to be safe. We had the same issue with the smaller version of this bag, something we’ll get into later. The only time the bag’s stiffness presents a problem is when what we call the “rhino horn” appears, depending on how you’ve packed the interior security pocket. The CHZ is pretty stiff in general, but that’s kind of the point-it’s built to withstand years of use. The air textured yarn is what gives the bag its matte, tough look. This nylon is one six away from being the number of the beast-that’s your first clue that it’s not playing around when it comes to durability. The shell’s primary material is a hefty 500d high tenacity 6,6 nylon with air textured yarn and weather-resistant coating. There’s also an EVERGOODS tag on the inside with the materials and year it was made listed. The reflective patches are kinda cool if you plan on biking or walking at night, but we suggest sticking on a Pack Hacker patch if you want to be the envy of all your friends. EVERGOODS sells reflective velcro patches, but any 3” x 2” rectangular patch will fit. It’s minimal and low-key with just the classic EVERGOODS velcro logo on the front, where you can stick a patch. Let’s get right into the design and branding of this bag. On the other hand, its uncanny ability to attract pet hair was a bit of a turnoff. The pack sits high up on your back, which made us feel like a badass astronaut strolling down the street during the two weeks we tested it. We are huge fans of the CHZ’s harness system and how the padded shoulder straps and back panel curve to fit your body. Aren’t all pockets made for snacks, anyway? EVERGOODS CHZ26 in Detroit Mainly an improved sternum strap and a swanky new mesh pocket that we’re pretty sure was made for snacks. This is pretty much a bigger version of the EVERGOODS CHZ22 with a few upgrades from the earlier version we have. That’s after you’ve used it as your daypack from work to the gym, of course. Like something you’d wear while climbing Mount Kilimanjaro before rocketing into space with it. Known on the streets as “the cheese,” the EVERGOODS Civic Half Zip (CHZ) 26L is somewhere between a sleek backpack and an indestructible jetpack. The good people over at EVERGOODS are known for putting out high-quality and incredibly durable gear.
