In my opinion Evergoods has continued to evolve while Goruck has been relying more on what’s worked in the past.
I’ve been tempted to get a CPL24 to replace my GR2 34L for office / commuting. I love the GR2 but obviously 34L is huge.
I like the CPL’s quick access pocket and smooth material. 1000D cordura looks awesome but I’m craving a smoother and more pleasant feeling material.
Just wondering what your thoughts are when it comes to these two brands in 2023 generally and also your preferences for EDC use.
Looking for a pouch to hold these items. These are the extra items that don’t fit into my tech pouch.
My issues I’m having is the case for my hearing aids is kind of thick.( next to the charging brick)it’s a tiny bit thicker than a MacBook charger. This makes it kind of awkward. The second issue and bigger issues is that my Apple pencils is very long and doesn’t fit into a lot of small pouches.
Not willing to get a larger tech case. I’m ok if the pouch doesn’t fit the Apple Pencil but it fitting is preferred. I also want something with a little bit of organization and not just a one big dump pocket.
The MagSafe puck is not easily removable from the RAM ball mount, so I just grabbed the whole thing for my last trip. I’ve found that it props the phone up at a nice angle for StandBy, and the ball is like a PopSocket when you hold it. The Anker watch charger covers the watch/AirPods from the phone’s USB-C port.
Technically I have my mochilla(/personal bag), but that doesn’t really count, does it?
Cause I’m really excited!! I can call myself a one-bagger, right? Maybe? 🙏🏾
Long time lurker, thanks for ALL of the insight these past few years!!

Wrote “uh oh” because these are a pain to try to get a hold of!! I got super lucky off the Patagonia website. This model is Smolder Blue. I haven’t gotten to travel with it yet and today am using it as a gym bag, but a quick “test pack” last night showed that it easily holds more than the Evergoods CTB26 and slightly to somewhat more than the ULA Dragonfly. Another advantage over the Dragonfly is that the tech compartment can be used as a great area for side access, compatible with swinging the bag over either the right OR left shoulder since it’s a vertical clamshell opening!! (As a lefty, I swing it over my left shoulder and can use both my left and right hands to take out or stow small items from the pockets in the tech compartment). Since the ULA Dragonfly is so light and waterproof, I have an excuse to keep it as my main hiking backpack and for walking long distances in the rain when working from home and going to a coffee shop, for example, whereas the Evergoods CTB26 I use as my …
I’ve traveled for weeks with this same backpack, never had to try too hard to fit what I need. But this trip will be a lot of travel types mixed. I’ll be in (SE Asia) two big cities, also a village, and hiking up a mountain and back.
I’m used to living and traveling in SE already, so I know what kinds of clothes, rain gear, etc I like.
In the city I’ll leave the hiking stuff and backpack at the house I’m staying in. When I’m in the village and mountains I’ll leave the daypack at the house. That way I’m only carrying it full capacity when flying out and coming home.
Daypack is what I carry every day in SE Asia, so it’s pre-loaded with essentials like cash, ID, mosquito repellent.
(Cat not included in this trip.)
Here’s what I plan to bring:
sandals (wear trail shoes) hat rain jacket, rain pants (wear a jacket) Plastic ponchos swimsuit bag for wet clothes laundry bag Clothesline/emergency cord Small lights first aid kit …

TL;DR: The coat offers a unique blend of lightweight, and warmth ideal for NYC’s chilly weather, and a stylish bomber-halfcoat design. M fits well for someone 5’9” with enough room for layering. Standout features include durable ribbing, an beautiful Excella zipper, and spacious pockets. However, the fabric tends to attract lint and dust, and the pockets sag when carrying heavy items like a phone.

For some reason around this time I always get curious about the status of Gostwyck, has anyone heard anything recently?

Each one of these Willie Specials has been wear-tested and tinkered with and each piece has come to play a “miss it if I don’t have it” role in her life.
