The Evergoods 17" Civic Panel Loader Backpack 24L V3 is a city-focused backpack with an attention to fit, function, durability, and detail that makes it thrive as an active day bag in any environment. Its ergonomic harness provides exceptional carry on foot, on a bike, in town, or outdoors. In creating the CPL24 V3 Kevin and Jack of Evergoods set out to discover how they could improve the breathability, durability, and sustainability without sacrificing any of the CPL’s signature feature sets or appearance. Over the course of three years, they crafted new custom textiles and revisited manufacturing to achieve a new pinnacle of Evergoods development: the next evolution of the CIVIC PANEL LOADER.

Twisted yarn for increased tensile strength. Dustproof and easy to clean. Improved abrasion-resistance. Same streamlined aesthetic.Ultimate BreathabilityEvergoods replaced the standard foam with a new two-layer construction of 3D spacer mesh and abrasion-resistant 50D monofilament woven. The back panel is durable, doesn't pill, won't abrade clothing, and is wildly breathable. More Environmentally ResponsibleTo colour their products, most big brands add dyes after the fabric has been developed. For this evolution of the CPL, Evergoods solution-dyed the custom textile at the polymer stage at the beginning of the supply chain, which uses far fewer resources and produces a longer-lasting product. Saves water. Saves electricity. Adds colour fade resistance.
