CIVIC Panel Loader - X-Pac

CPL24 X-Pac – My Best Backpack for Business Trips! Luckily, I received my CPL24 X-Pac just before my business trip to Indonesia! I’m a big fan of EVERGOODS. I already own the CPL16 in both Nylon and X-Pac, the CTB26 in Olive Waxed Canvas, and the CTB35. I travel overseas quite often for business. Sometimes my trips last one week, two weeks, or even longer. I’ve tried backpacks from other brands, but I always found something that was not easy or comfortable to use. For business trips without a suitcase, I think the CPL24 is one of the best backpacks! The X-Pac material looks clean, simple, and beautiful. It also looks great with my business clothes, so I feel comfortable taking it to business meetings. For packing, I used EVERGOODS 8L and 4L packing cubes and a CAP2 pouch. Everything fit very well, and I was able to use almost all the space inside the bag. I know many people are unhappy because the CPL24 doesn’t have a luggage pass-through. But I think this bag was made to be used without a suitcase. If you understand why EVERGOODS designed it this way, you may not miss that feature at all. Another thing that surprised me was how well the bag handled heavy rain in Indonesia! During my trip, I got caught in sudden heavy rain. I had my laptop, earphones, and other electronic devices inside the bag. But nothing inside got wet! I was really surprised and happy with how well the bag protected my things. Of course, I know this bag is not 100% waterproof, but it worked very well for me. If you often travel for 4–7 days and like to pack light, I really recommend trying the CPL24 as your only bag. You don’t always need a big backpack or a suitcase for a short business trip. I think you will understand how good this bag is once you try it! For me, the CPL24 X-Pac is now one of my favorite backpacks. Sometimes, a smaller bag is all you need!

I've been using my CPL24 as my primary office backpack for over a year, and it has been fantastic. I carry a fairly large and heavy 16-inch HP ZBook, along with the usual tech accessories and daily essentials. The dedicated laptop compartment is excellent, the organization is thoughtfully laid out, and the harness remains comfortable even with a heavier load. I absolutely love the black X-Pac exterior paired with the coyote interior. It's professional enough for the office without looking boring. My one complaint is the lack of external water bottle pockets, but otherwise this is easily one of my favorite backpacks I've owned.

Bought as a smaller around town alternative to my CTB20, which has been my favorite work/travel backpack in a long time. Love the understated look of the X-Pac and the versatility of all the organization!

**Outstanding Backpack — Premium Materials and Built to Last** This is easily one of the best laptop backpacks I’ve owned. The X-Pac X42 material is fantastic—lightweight, extremely durable, and gives the bag a clean, premium look without being flashy. The stealth black exterior looks even better in person, and the coyote brown interior is a great touch because it makes everything inside much easier to see and find. What really stands out is the attention to detail. The PU-coated YKK zippers feel substantial and add another level of weather protection, and the entire backpack feels incredibly well constructed. It holds everything I need without feeling bulky or overbuilt. If you appreciate quality gear and want a laptop backpack that looks professional enough for work but is tough enough for travel and everyday use, this one absolutely delivers. It isn't inexpensive, but you can immediately see and feel where the money went. Excellent design, excellent materials, and excellent build quality. I expect to be using this backpack for a very long time. Highly recommended.

Love. As a hip and trendy college professor I’ve gone through all kinds of bags over the years, messenger bags, totes, backpacks, etc. I fell in love with Evergoods in 2022 when I bought my first panel loader. With the recent xpac drop I knew it was time to upgrade. Move the material, the large side handle and the layout fits my current use case to a t! My 2022 gets a lot of everyday use with work and travel, yet doesn’t even have a scratch! I expect the same and more out of the xpac cpl. buy with confidence. Only thing I’m getting use to is the position of the top grab strap, it is positioned differently than my 2022.

I was introduced to Evergoods by my Friend which is huge fan of your products. I ordered 16liter pack as I normally was using Patagonia 26 liter and needed smaller pack. When it came first thing I noticed impressive quality of product, how well design it is and with all pockets how good for travel. Since then I ordered more items and planing to order more. This is outstanding brand and product. Greetings from Poland.

완벽한 가방입니다 물주머니가 없는 게 아쉽지만 그걸 감안하고라도 쓰게 만듭니다 xpac 재질도 훌륭하고 등판의 플라스틱 패널을 빼니 훨씬 가벼워졌습니다

Excellent backpack. Comfortable to wear, and the 24L size is just perfect. Neither too small, nor big. Have used this bag for my travels in Peru and Patagonia, with no complaints.

Rishi S. 5/5 June 29, 2026

I found this backpack through online reviews and added it as one of my daily carry . It feels great to wear, with weight distribution that fits the body well—comfortable whether I’m carrying just a few items or a full load. The only downside is that if you’re switching from a bag with lots of compartments, you’ll need to get used to using pouches to organize your items.

★★★★★ I didn't think I was going to like the CPL16 because of the smaller size. Most of my bags tend to be in the 20L to 30L range, and I was worried this would feel cramped. Turns out I was completely wrong. This has become my dedicated laptop bag. I carry a 15-inch MacBook Air, charger, mouse, cables, battery bank, and a few other accessories, and everything fits comfortably without feeling overstuffed. The smaller footprint actually makes me want to grab it more often because it's so easy to carry around. The X-Pac material is probably my favorite part. It looks great, feels premium, and has just enough structure to help the bag keep its shape. I know some people prefer traditional fabrics, but I find myself reaching for the X-Pac version every time. I bought this thinking it would fill a niche in my collection. Instead, it's become one of my most used bags.

I was going to go with the CTB, but this one was on sale in the X-Pac, so I went for it. Amazing organization, and beefy as heck. I don't imagine I will wear this bag out any time soon. Still not sure I love the yoke pocket position, but it's handy for a few small items. The other thing that surprises me is that even though it seems almost overbuilt, it's still relatively light, so it doesn't feel like it. Best of both worlds!

This bag (CPL16 in X-Pac) is something else. I can’t believe how functional it is while still maintaining such a minimal profile. I’m able to fit my laptop, charger, bag of coffee, grinder, camping stove, and French press setup without sacrificing space for my everyday carry essentials—AirPods, keys, notepads, paperwork, charging cables, sanitizer, pencil case, sunglasses, chapstick, mints, and other miscellaneous stationery. I absolutely swear by this pack, and it’s easily become one of my favorite everyday bags. I’m already looking forward to seeing what the next version of the CPL brings.

Joshua D. 5/5 May 18, 2026

Really well built and solid. I love the sideways use pattern that's unlike any other backpack.

I own many bags in the 20-25l range. The CPL has always stood out to me because of the clean lines and layout. This is an excellent bag that is very streamlined and easy to carry. Whether it’s for EDC or using it as a personal item, it checks all the boxes for me. One note I’ll make is; the main compartment is on the shallower side. It still holds plenty, but it’s not as deep as other bags in this category, which is why I bought it. I wanted something a bit more agile. The X-PAC material feels premium and handles the elements perfectly.

Maximilian B. 5/5 April 12, 2026

I've been really happy with this bag. It's low-profile, hardy, and I really appreciate the laptop compartment.

CIVIC Panel Loader - X-Pac

I’ve been using the Civic Panel Loader (X-Pac) almost every day, and at this point it’s just part of my routine. What stands out is how intentional everything feels. Nothing is overbuilt, nothing is missing. The layout forces you to stay organized without thinking about it. Laptop goes in clean, smaller items have a place, and I’m not digging around trying to find things. The X-Pac material was the right call. It holds its shape, looks sharp, and takes a beating without showing it. Rain, travel, being thrown in and out of the car—it handles all of it and still looks new. Comfort is better than I expected. At my height (6’6”), a lot of backpacks don’t sit right. This one does. It carries close to the body and doesn’t feel sloppy or overloaded even when it’s full. What I appreciate most is that it doesn’t try to be flashy. It’s clean, functional, and just works. Over time, that matters more than anything else. I’ve tried a lot of bags over the years. This is one of the few that I don’t think about replacing. That’s probably the best endorsement I can give.

I purchased the CPL16 as an everyday carry tech bag and I could not be more impressed. Fits all my gear perfectly with easy access to everything. Materials are top-notch! I previously used a messenger bag and could not be happier with the change to the CPL16. LOVE IT!!!

Casey S. 5/5 March 4, 2026

CIVIC Panel Loader - X-Pac

I bought the CPL16 after having used the CTB20 for a few months. The CLP is a brilliant complement for EDC use - I usually don’t carry much and this size perfectly fits the bill. The x-pac finishing and waterproof zippers add a great slick look.

I probably own too many backpacks. I've found that backpacks especially seem to work great in certain applications, but not in others- I have a mystery ranch scree 32 that I love as a hiking backpack, but it's not great as a travel bag, and it looks too tactical to be used as an office bag, etc. The CPL24 in xpac is likely the perfect travel and everyday/workplace backpack. It's really hard to find any flaws. It's great sitting on its side like a briefcase, and fits perfectly under a plane seat without taking up all the room. Laptop and admin pockets are easily accessible this way. In the main compartment I can easily fit a 8L packing cube (TPC8- which holds a surprising amount of clothes) a small PD packing cube, and my CAS2 at the top- the curve of the sling perfectly matches the top curve of the compartment. It's nice to have all of the stuff you'd grab for a hike or day of touring in the sling, and easily be able to grab that out of the CPL24 once I get where I'm going. I have not had any comfort issues, but I'm not wearing it fully loaded for long periods. If I had to find a constructive criticism... not sure how useful the hydration access things are in the harness, I would not likely carry a bladder in this bag, but if I did, I would likely have it the main compartment rather than in/near the laptop compartment. If the access for a hydration tube was in the main compartment instead of the laptop/rear panel as it currently is, they may prove to be more useful.

The size and organization of this bag is exactly what I was hoping for. It's sturdy, well thought out, and suits my needs. The X-Pac material is kind of stiff though. It does help the bag keep its shape and stand upright, but kind of feels like wearing luggage. The comfort is not what I was hoping for though. As others have mentioned, it feels like it curves the wrong way anatomically, causing the bottom edge of the bag to press into my back in an uncomfortable way. The yoke pocket is perfectly placed and is absolutely necessary, but it seems like it causes the the bag to feel like it's oddly pulling away from my shoulders unless I have the straps pretty short. Hopefully a revision of this bag will address comfort and fit issues, which would make it perfect!

This is my firs time purchasing directly from EG & they didnt dissapoint! Had been eyeing this bag for maybe the past couple of years, calmly waiting for the right time to make the shot 😂 this bag has everything Ive been craving for. The strap is pretty comfy despite some may say otherwise. This was on me while I was commuting via motorcycle under heavy terrential shower for almost an hour & my stuff are still dry inside. Organisation wise, I made it work for me. Amazing product!

Built great and very sleek with the new liner color. A true delight for my EDC.

Mac 5/5 January 3, 2026

CIVIC Panel Loader - X-Pac

This iconic pack needs no introduction and the addition of the X-pac fabric makes an already a fantastic bag even better! The added water resistance of the PU coated zipper and X-pac materials gives me significant ease of mind where the colder months means less than ideal weather conditions. I am assured that this pack can handle every situation i put it and still keep my items safe. The X-pac lends to a slightly stiffer and more rigid form as opposed to its fantastic original brother the 840d ballistic nylon, but this suits me fine as to have the bag stand on its own and maintain its shape is a plus.

Ian 5/5 January 2, 2026

This bag is wonderful. I’ll admit, I’m a sucker for coyote brown. I prefer the typical panel loader exterior material but gladly switched to this for the brown interior. Very happy with this purchase!

I purchased the CPL16 xpac version and it has become my favourite backpack. Solid built quality, comfortable, well organized and very stylish. Evergoods have created a master piece that is well suited for urban, outdoors and the office environment.

I bought this to be my everyday carry (EDC) for commuting to work. I ride a bike and take a train twice a day, Monday-Friday, so I wanted something that could stand up to the weather. So far so good. It has handled light rain beautifully, which is the primary reason I got it. Beyond that, it just is a great size. Can carry a lunchbox and water bottle, plus a couple of odds and ends, with ease. Can tuck a light rain jacket or poncho in it easily as well. Feels good riding on the bike. Like that it has a slimmer profile, so even loaded down it doesn’t feel like I am biting everyone as I turn in tight spaces. In terms of XPAC material, I love it. I have a canvas CBT 20 I use as a carry on and the XPAC is nicer for EDC IMO, especially because it is lighter. In general, this bag is just a great EDC bag and I recommend it.

I am absolutely happy with my X-Pac CPL24! The way it is designed is amazing - so many things can be kept in it and it doesn't look bulky! I also like how it combines with CAP 1&2 - they match perfectly. I decided to go with the X-Pac version as I like this material for its look and durability, and I am absolutely happy with my purchase.

Mikhail A. 5/5 December 29, 2025

CIVIC Panel Loader - X-Pac

This was my first Evergoods bag, and it was a huge quality of life upgrade. Best EDC bag I've ever had, and a perfect fit for me at 5'6". If you only wanted one bag for EDC, this should be the one, especially in X-PAC. Though, I am debating whether to keep this or to exchange for the regular 840D Cordura for the flexibility of the material in case I need to overpack the bag (since it is 16L). My favorite aspect of this bag is the horizontal orientation. It sits better on its side, and feels like I can seamlessly switch between backpack and briefcase mode.

Well designed size. Very comfortable to carry. The compartments are useful. Easy to access while standing or walking. I hope the laptop and tablet compartment opening can be slightly looser. Hard to take the tablet out with the laptop in the compartment.

The backpack with the X-pac fabric and Coyote brown lining look perfect. Subtle but still a unique look.

CIVIC Panel Loader - X-Pac

Thought the CPL16 would be too small and I’d miss the water bottle pockets but I’ve gradually started carrying less things to work to the point where I only bring an iPad, snacks, and a few other tech items. The CPL16 is perfect. In X-PAC it is really sleek and just a really clean design. Just enough organization and capacity for what I need at this stage in life. The only thing I’d change is getting rid of the hydration hose pass through and ports but otherwise perfect. Would instant buy a waxed canvas version with orange interior if it ever gets made.

Can’t get enough of my X-Pac CPL16! The material is built for the daily grind — durable, weather-resistant, and easy to keep clean. It’s been the perfect pack for my daily public transit commutes. I can set it down anywhere, wipe it off in seconds, and not worry about stains or wear. Seriously hoping this version stays in production forever, because I already know I’ll be buying it again.
