In terms of the strap not being on your shoulder, you can address that by loosening one of the sides of the strap and tightening the other.

try the tomtoc steam deck sling and remove the strap… it can fit the steam deck with a headphone and some smaller stuff… i think its great as an extended tech pouch that can replace a cap2 maybe…

steam deck fits in the cap2?!

Which do you prefer more, the MPH or CT5? I've been looking at exactly these two. I like that the CT5 can home the water bottle externally in a way that doesn't eat into the main space. It looks like maybe the sleeve of the MPH could handle a water bottle but it would consume the main space. A main use case I'm considering is as a dad bag, wondering which would be better.

It’s only been a few days but it has become my favorite work bag. Laptop is kept nice and secure. Plenty of organization for this and that. It’s definitely a commuting bag though. I don’t think it was meant to be warn for a long time.

lol this is like the only review of this. So far everyone says "Its probably for someone" and no one is happy with it. The strap is what kills me. Why did they do a buckle strap? Its awful. Limits the choices to barely anything.

I own one and it’s absolutely perfect. Fits my needs perfectly.

Hey great video man. What was that pouch you had your wired headphones?

Really appreciate the review. Thank you. Why are you letting go of the CTB20?

You and I are the same, unaverage 6'2" , 240ish

love this!!! quality is going up and up!!! also hell yeah! weekly tech fix for good!

Are you the first review for this? ❤

Great, comprehensive review with some good insights. Everyone has their own use for a briefcase, but for me the main use is when I'm driving. Therefore, I don't need a lot of things I might need in a backpack, which I use when I commute by bus, train, etc. I'm also confused by this product. To me, a briefcase is held in the hand. Once it's slung across a shoulder, it becomes a messenger. That means, this product doesn't really have any use for me. But, to each his own. I own almost every Evergood product in one variation or another -- and have never had any shipping issues. The "gash" that you mention -- and the fact that it looks like it was caused by a "box cutter" -- could it be that you did that yourself when you opened the package? I know you said it wasn't you and that it came like that "out of the box," but it had to come out of the box somehow ..

Thanks for this

Who makes the ouch pouch?

loving the intro!! and the dad bear tshirt ahah! also!!!!! tomtoc and Dbrand are both major wins!

Will the bottle pocket fit a larger bottle?

Really good loadout & pacing in your description.

I like evergoods, but damn their stuff are expensive.

bro tomtoc is a brand ive used over the years to carry my nintendo switch! the brand makes magic. great vid as always! #weeklytechfix

Am getting my half cap in the next few days. I will also check out the Tomtoc alternativ. ❤

Love the flash light! And team #iphone15pro for life!

I have the exact same one, I sorta of regret getting the Griffin, i like the td35 but the regular one is better, this one is stiffer and I fear getting the liner dirty

Badly paracorded, you got better, your newest video shows the progress

JB outside took one of the evergoods rucking

What Paracord is that?

It would be great to some shots of you wearing the bag too! Great video either way, keep it up mate

Great video, thanks for the update!

The information and update is useful and informative. Need improvement on the brightness of the video.. its dark..

Insane new set up bro!!

For true EDC with only infrequent travel would you recommend the ctb20 or the ctl24. I think I would miss extra pockets and luggage pass through on the ctl line but for my use case maybe?

I'd have gotten this if I didn't already have a loculus.

Tomtoc is incredibly underrated. I have this sling in black with bright blue interior and it’s been great. A little bulkier than I was hoping for but it works great for EDC with my iPad mini.

Another similar sized bag is the GR136 Metrorunner 6L, comes in VX42/Ecopak/Cordura depending on availability. It has a more tactical look though.

Tomtoc is so underrated in the carry community because of their pricing. They are in the wallet friendly tier. Tomtoc their core product line is tech protection, they make laptop sleeves, iPad covers, messenger bags, tech slings, etc. I walk in to any Apple physical store, ill see a shelf of Tomtoc products on display. I am glad they are exploring the travel space because carry and travel goes hand in hand. Your travel experience may vary depending on your carry and everyone has their own style and ways of carry. My parents used to tell me this " find something which is cheap and good", even during our food hunting. Buying a higher priced product does not mean the quality is any better than a lower price product.

People always find something to complain about. This is an absolutely great manageable size compared to the 26. This bag wasn’t designed to be as an EDC bag primarily, thus the name CTB or Civic TRAVEL Bag. This was designed to be a Travel bag and not an EDC.

I am a Alpaka fanboy but Tomtoc is delivering with its gear. I got a T73 , T26 (non X-Pac) and T21 in X-Pac. Tomtoc gives you the most bang for your buck. And the most important thing is the availability. Amazon got Tomtoc in stock, so i get it for cheaper and faster than Alpaka.

Awesome review. Returned my CTB26 2 weeks ago and got this one release day and delivered on 06/13/24. Pretty awesome and perfectly sized for EDC now.

Hi where did you get the carabiner and hand sanitizer bottle?

Insane breakdown! Love the deep dive! Its a pretty great bag no doubt!

just got mine in today and wanted to note two things. First just a cool thing the front pocket can fit an ipad mini pretty much perfectly if you put it in on its side. Second the steam deck case you are using seems pretty tall with the two sets of hinges, i use a Dbrand killswitch case and that fits flat just fine, the dband case is just expensive and doesn't fully seal against dust/debris. But I wonder if looking around for a different steam deck case may solve the issue for you. My current loadout in the main compartment is a steam deck with a cap 2 next to it and a travelers company notebook sitting on the front of the steam deck filling the available space pretty much perfectly even with a bottle. This bag pretty much instantly replaced my griffin cpl24 for edc. Also great video!

very nice review! So excited to get mine soon!

I get mine today! I hope it pairs well with my PLC20.

Nice review!! I just got the bag and I don’t love the 420D material. The bag is a tad big for EDC and contemplating sending it back for a refund. I like the CPL 16 better.

Are you the firt reviewing this one? Hey, i use the exact same dispensers in the same position

I just confirmed that the ctb20 fits my older touchbar 16" MacBook Pro so it should have no problem fitting the newer ones.

Here from Reddit. Keep at it man, great video?

On which use case you would use the CTB26 over the CTB20? I have the CTB26 and I'm considering the CTB20 for other use case scenarios

Dude that anker nano charger though

Ok evergoods makes some insane packs
