Hey there,
Along the path of building EVERGOODS, we've learned a number of things. Some from our pursuit of in-house design and some from listening to you.
With those collective learnings in tow, we re-examine our current products to make tweaks and improvements to meet the new standards of today.
Early last year, we revisited CIVIC Half Zip.
CHZ was the second backpack to be released in our most popular CIVIC line. The streamlined silhouette was inspired by the classic single-cavity day bag, but we upgraded it with premium textiles, intuitive layouts, ergonomic harness, and our fan-favorite water bottle pockets.
Taking the learnings from the last six years, we began tinkering with the design.We kept the features you love, added more utility, and adjusted its structure.
Tomorrow, 5/15, at 8am MST we will relaunch the new and improved CIVIC Half Zip.
To help you better prepare for the release, we've answered some of your frequently asked pre-launch questions below.
If we miss anything in this post, we will be answering questions in the comments of an Instagram post at 4pm MST. You can access that via this link.
See you then,
The EVERGOODS Team
