I have some questions to help me decide between packs. 1) Without a frame sheet, how supportive is the back foam panel, and can a frame sheet be added somehow? 2) Relatedly, other than the Evade being five liters smaller and having external bottle holders, how does it compare to the Spare Camel for EDC? I haul around 30 pounds daily and love having several pockets, as well as space for pouches. For reference, a Mystery Ranch 2 Day Assault Pack is a great size for my sruff but doesn't fit my frame well. Thanks for replying to our questions!

Sorry for the tardy reply, just saw the notifications! 1) The pack's back panel is stiff, it's both foam and HDPE sheet. 2) We've ruck a 30lbs plate with this Evade, that weight is not going to be an issue but man, that's quite the weight to haul day in, day out.

Just got mine delivered. Bit disappointed that the shock cord blocks access to front compartment when installed but apart from that it’s an incredible bag🔥🔥🔥 The separately bought hip belt is also massive just FYI and dangles quite a bit when I wear it due to length. I don’t think most of you will need it tbh and kind of regret getting it additionally.

If you make a 30L version, make it deeper rather than taller as the 2.0's volume was good, its just that the tall, thin profile made the pack tight and hard to reach into as a result when full. It also tends to stick out under airplane seats.

Two very different types of bag. The genesis of the Whitley (20L) design was a summer intern from UNC who wanted a better college backpack which in turn evolved in a portable work station, office type backpack and for minimal EDC. The Evade (25L) was developed from feedback sourced from the larger EDC community including those who concealed carry. Its end users vary widely from us daily EDC folks to law enforcement agencies who carry a wide range of gear in it. We even have folks who use theirs as range bags in a pinch! Again, very different bags in our humble opinion.

Just a beautiful update. All the improvements of the Evade 1.5 and 1.0x without the bulk - a damn near perfect "onebag". In the main compartment, it looks like there's some velcro near the top between it and the laptop sleeve - curious what the purpose of this is.
