💬 Reviewers Have Said

• "I was looking for a solid EDC backpack with minimal organization (I use pouches) and I ended up going for the CHZ22. When I first got it, I was immediately struck by its build quality. I've handled a bunch of backpacks from big outdoor brands, and none came close in terms of craftsmanship. Once packed, the CHZ22 is incredibly comfortable; it really feels like it is hugging your back. As of now, I've been rocking my CHZ22 for the better part of three very harsh Canadian winter months, and it has held up incredibly well. It still looks brand new. I like the bag so much I ended up ordering the CAP2L and the newly announced MHP3.5L. The CHZ22 made me an Evergoods fan!"
• "This bag is one of the best bags I’ve ever had. I would run through backpacks for work because I didn’t like any of them until this one. This pack is great for work and even as a carry-on. In fact, I just want to buy another one in khaki. Anyway, I don’t really write reviews, but felt it was necessary. Don’t hesitate to buy if you are looking for something for work or a carry-on."
• "I have owned and used this bag for over a year, and its been a solid bag for my daily carry (remote working psychotherapist, minimal tech: laptop, stand, keyboard, mouse, headphones, power cables) and weekend trips with my partner, where it flexes perfectly into a bag for day hikes in all conditions. Its also been used for everything in-between, and now also routinely serves as a grocery hauler for our smaller food runs. The durability is unmatched, and it has a quality feel in the hands and while in use."

🔎 Reviews

"So, what do we have here? Who is this bag for? To me, EVERGOODS was very purposeful in their naming scheme. It’s part of the CIVIC line of packs, which means it’s designed for in-city pursuits. It’s 22L which falls in line with a perfect EDC daypack range for me (20L +/- 2L). It supports a laptop, has accessory pockets to hold keys and pens, and water bottle pockets for your Nalgene. The back and straps are textured and padded for comfort and the pack sits high and close to your back for stable carry."

"We love how snuggly this pack fits against the body. It’s like wearing a jetpack. Throw it on and you’re ready to go."

"The Civic Half Zip (CHZ22) from Evergoods is a modern classic with just the right amount of organization and capacity executed with precision build quality and excellent materials."
