Top EDC Bags: Alpha One Niner Evade 1.5: New, Old and 1.0x Comparison
After using all three bags, I decided to film an unscripted comparison of the new version of the Evade 1.5, the old version of the Evade 1.5, and the Evade 1.0x. In general, these are all some of my favorite bags, especially for EDC, and I've been taking them to work for the past few months.

Nice bag for carrying a lot of toilet paper
'Merica
Thanks so much for this informative video
Hey Andy which material do you find has easier access with hand. For example that front pocket?
I don’t think either are particularly difficult. The courdura is a bit less stiff
There is another slim sleeve carryology edition that's not chimera, or premium from the outside, but from the inside, it looks better than this. I wish they made the wallet look like this from the outside, with the premium leather and then the inside of the current one that's available to buy. Would have been a great combination. It's the pattern I like so much in the current one. But the outside of this looks so much better. Bellroy definitely needs to do more collaborations with chimera, for more products
Great review! I really wanted to know if that folio sleeve would fit inside the travel weekender?
I’ve never seen the travel weekender in person, you could probably email Aer to get an authoritative answer
Hello Andy. One question: Do you know the can difference between the aeronaut 45 and techonaut 45 in the main compartment only?
The aeronaut is more of a duffel with backpack straps. The Techonaut is more of a backpack in that style that doubles as a duffel. The aeronaut the pockets on each end that expand into the main compartment while the other has only on the bottom.
@@AndyModellBackpacks Thanks! I guess my question came from the fact that the aeronaut has 2 side compartments and the techonaut only one, but both have the same capacity. That is why I thought the main compartment of the techonaut would be bigger than that of the aeronaut without expanding the side pockets. I just wanted to make sure of this...
That’s accurate. It’s also worth checking the exterior dimensions of the bags, because I think the techonaut may be deeper than the aeronauts
Great video. I've been using a GR2 26 and I really like it. Just got a double comp Bullet but I'm still on the fence on keeping it. GR2 seems more versatile since I can use it fully packed or leave some space for purchases vs. the Bullet that I'd always have fully packed.
The gr2 26l definitely seems more useful in more cases. At the same time, it does cost twice as much, and sometimes you do want something more minimal
Hi Andy. What do you think about latest Evvergoods, AONs, etc. bags compared with to Syniks and other Tom Bihns you reviews several years back?
They’re all bags of quality, but they definitely pack differently. If you’re a bigger fan of having things in pouches or cases, than the bags with more pockets and organization may be less likely to fit. At the same time, I still use my TB synapse as my day pack while traveling, and I’m actually rocking a synik this week.
Hi, Andy. I always want to try CPL24 and could you tell me if there is a bottom panel embedded in the bag like Goruck bags such as GR1. Because this is kind of a deal breaker for me. I really like a bag with rigidity somehow when its not that full. Thx in advance.
The bag has a frame sheet against the back panel and aluminum stays along at least the top and sides
@@AndyModellBackpacks Thank you!
Nicely sorted out gear ✌🏻
Thanks 👍
Nice review! I have watched a dozen of bag reviews and yours is definitely underrated. Very informative and straight to the points.
Glad you liked it!
Great video
Thank you!
Great review! Now I’m lost between getting this or a goruck gr2, the form on this seems better for an everyday and travel pack
Both are great, but I like this better for everyday
@@AndyModellBackpacks does filling the main compartment too much compromise the laptop with the new hybrid sleeve?
There’s definitely padding, but if it’s uneven pressure, I guess that may impact the laptop?
Hi Andy. Love your reviews. But no shoes for a 2 week trip? 😀
Shoes were on my feet. wore new balance 847
You deserve way more subscribers, the information and outline of your videos are so much more valuable than most of what's currently out there.
Thank you! I appreciate the kind words
do you prefer this bag or the GR2 26L for EDC and light travel?
For EDC, I prefer this one. The 26l gr2 is for when I’m flying in a low cost airline and need to cram as much as possible into a personal item
@@AndyModellBackpacks thanks for your opinion Andy! I've been stuck between the two for about a month now.
Are you selling any of those bags ?
I don’t have any for sale. Sorry
Were you able to use this or the regular full evade as a personal item?
Both, on us airlines
i just order it just one query does it tear your shirts.. due to back panel?
I have not noticed any problems
Great review, really helped me decide to preorder this bag in the xpac version. I want to get that accessory for the extra organization as well but I don’t know how to differentiate the slider and the ordinary one.
The slider has a handle on top. The ordinary has hook velcro to attach to the loop panel in the pocket
GOAT of online bag reviews. Honest, straightforward, says everything that's needed.
Glad you like the videos!
IMHO the shoulder strap is not wide and thick enough to bear that much weight.
I don’t think it’s necessarily a big enough bag for it to be a problem
EXCELLENT video. Thanks
Thanks for watching!
Does the CAP1 fit in the front zip pocket?
Not for this bag, but it does with gr2s.
Tell me more about the "twisty go" pen?
TWSBI is the brand. Go is the model. Googling "TWSBI GO" should give you what you want.
Any sense as to the volume in the main area of the new Evade 1.5?
I think the whole bag is about 25L, so the main compartment is around 20+? It has a bit of depth, which is nice.
@@AndyModellBackpacks interesting. I have grown found of a large capacity main (REI Trail 25) and using pouches. But I want a more refined pack, though. I was considering the Evade even though it does weight a pound more.
Thanks for this video!!
Thanks for watching
Love your video. I actually ordered the RFF bag because it combines the low weight and compression capabilities I like in my cabin zero military 28 with the laptop compartment of my Gr2 26L. Your viewers should take note though, the RFF bag I got came with no name non YKK zippers and buckles. A bit of a disappointment since all other reviews of the bag on UA-cam stated the older zippers were YKK.
That's very suprising!
The CT15 size is described as being bigger than the Bullet15, why does it look smaller in your video?
They seem very similar to me, but I don’t have the bags both right now to compare
So cool🎉🎉🎉🎉
Still have them ?
No longer
Hey Andy what is that Toiletry case you have there that you put your razor into?
It’s a deuter wash bag
Love your review! How to contact u?
Oooh, that GR2, tho. ❤ As a 5'2" woman, I'm afraid it would be too wide and bulky on me. The website shows the 34L on a 5'8" woman, so that is no help for me. lol.
Coincidentally, my 5’2” mother is visiting me right now, so I had her try on the gr2 26l. It looked fine on her, so I think it should be good
@@AndyModellBackpacks thank you!!!! If the Bullet 2c does not work for my traveling needs, I may go with the GR2 in the robic rip stop nylon. I am not a fan of the molle on the front of most GR bags. ☺️
This video is great, I went with the RF 24+ I like the compression, you can use it as virtually a single panel backpack if the other one is empty. I also like how the top panel is full sized with depth with the zipper at the edge and not the middle, just is nicer to pack for me.
Glad you like it!
Also, it's awesome that you referred to your TB Side Effect as a purse. I love that. Not many dudes would do that.😊
Thank you for this. It's nice to see this bag packed for traveling. I just ordered the 18L, and I am wanting to use it for international trips that are over a week long. This proved to me that I can definitely use it for one-bag traveling. I will be packing a medium sized Thule compression cube, a small Nomatic compression cube, my liquids pouch, a tech pouch, a crochet project, important papers folder, snacks, and my Fjallraven Vardag crossbody bag (because the backpack itself will have to be a carry-on as it's too big for the airline personal item dimensions). But I think I can fit it all easily into this bag after watching this video.
I think the main consideration is how much you fill all those cubes with. Some stuff only compresses down so tight
I *think* I can make it work. I went to Ireland in March, and both my clothing packing cubes (I brought way more than I needed), a crochet project, and a tech pouch fit into my Tom Bihn Paragon 2.0. Having made that trip, I came home, and did a practice pack to see if I could only use one medium packing cube for clothing and still have room. I can. I may have to bring a crossbody bag if the Goruck ends up too big for under the seat. But I think I can make it work with this one Goruck bag. When it arrives, I will do a test pack run to see. ☺️ Having laundry facilities wherever I stay will mean I can pack less clothing.
Is the gr2 back area as much as a hotspot as people say?
I have noticed myself getting sweaty wearing it for sure
@@AndyModellBackpacks thanks. You always got the best review I appreciate it
your videos are so amazing. Hope you have to review Cabinzero 28L with these backpacks. :)
Sadly, I don’t own one of those.
But thank you!
Ok, no problem. Honesty, I really like this review video. This is the best review video ever❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Finally someone that only half filled the backpack. My backpack is rarely ever full
Thanks for the side by side Andy I think I'm leaning more towards the older gen. Some questions: Are there much of a noticable difference between the comfort level on the harness and ventilation between the two 1.5s? Say with a full load, 3 days worth of clothings and a laptop. For the conceal pocket on the old gen, can you access it for quick grabs or dumps with both shoulder straps still on? Many thanks. Also I've noticed there aren't a lot of heft on the new gens front bottom pocket? Not looking that useful.
I would say the harnesses are similarly comfortable. Maybe the new one has a slight edge. I think it is possible to reach the conceal pocket on the old gen with the bag on if you can easily reach your spine behind your back. The bottom pocket on the new gen isn't very big, but if you have smaller items, it can still be useful.
@@AndyModellBackpacks Thanks for the reply. I'll try to look for an old gen
Older version is the best. I have had the Full version for about an year, and it's the best thing ever. Just bought the lite version for military use
@@h__n1092 where are you finding the old lite version?
Would this fit under a airplane seat as a personal item?
Depends on how strict the airline is for low-cost scenarios, but I’ve used these under the seat for a while in many airlines and they’ve been great
Goruck is good, but Ctactical is better (organization). Factoring the price, Ctactical is MUCH superior than Goruck.
Great review! I was undecided because I couldn't determine the differences between the two models but your review clarified everything! Thank's!
Glad to hear you found it helpful!
@@AndyModellBackpacks@AndyModellBackpacks I just bought the deluxe version... I am looking forward to having it in my hand! 🤗
Hi nice backpack. Is “Vanquest” the brand of the waterbottle holder? Im not finding it on web
Yes, that’s the brand. Hydra is the model
Thank you very much, have a good day!@@AndyModellBackpacks
thanks for this
You bet!
Oh boy, I was looking at getting this bag finally after hearing so much positives, but seems like like they removed a lot of the great features just to save weight and for a cleaner look with this new version. The bottom straps would be nice for a blanket, jacket or sleeping bag, took out the Molle interior panel. While I do like the magnetic patch, the coyote interior color. It seems like this bag has less features than the old one.
I think it’s a very common tradeoff between weight and features for bag designers. Some brands make the most feature filled bags, but their weight makes the carry experience significantly worse
@@AndyModellBackpackswas the old one really that heavy ?
@@AFGixxeR88 Yeah it was 4.4 lbs with the Cordura normal one. I'm used to carry a lot of weight on my back/backpacks but even if its a difference of 2lbs from an empty bag you can feel the difference overtime and feels bulky.
The bottom straps were removed based on a user poll which said most people didn't really use it.
@@Kwisss I wouldn’t use them most of the time either but say you got drenched or had a blanket it would be nice to stow underneath. I was going to get one for my Hawaii trip but doesn’t seem like the RG is available anymore
Good vid! Thank you. Subscribed. I prefer the original Goruck anytime but the CT are a good alternative. Prefer the original to support Jason and team. Don’t like “copies” of intellectual / design property infringements of Jason’s original ideas but this is arguably the best compliment made to Goruck and solidifies its cult-like status in the rucking community. I have nothing against CT at all - great on them for affordability but keep it original please and move away from Goruck as an independent standalone design and production company of its own line of bags. Customers decide what they want.
Where did you buy the velcro patch with the alpha one niner logo on the front of the old version of the backpack?
The company gave them out to some folks who have done reviews in the past.
Love the FAB display on the wall!
Thanks! Got that at PT1
