EVADE 1.5 Gen 3 – The Evolution of Award-Winning Design
Carryology's Best Everyday Bag Champion 2020 – Now refined to perfection.
The EVADE 1.5 has earned its place among the world's most respected everyday carry backpacks. This third generation takes everything that made the EVADE legendary and elevates it with thoughtful refinements based on years of real-world feedback from professionals, travelers, and everyday carry enthusiasts.
What's New in Gen 3
Redesigned Back Panel with Horizontal Luggage Pass-Through
No more awkward angles. The new horizontal pass-through lets you secure the EVADE upright on your rolling luggage – a game-changer for frequent travelers who refuse to compromise on organization.
Stretch Side Water Bottle Pockets
Engineered to accommodate up to 40oz bottles, these new stretch pockets keep your hydration accessible without sacrificing the EVADE's sleek profile. Whether it's your daily water bottle or an insulated tumbler, it stays secure.
Enhanced Front Pocket Access
We've removed the rain flap covering the lower front zippered pocket. The result? Lightning-fast access to your essentials when you need them most – no fumbling, no delays.
Customizable Back Panel Stiffness
For the first time, you control your carry. Access the closed-cell foam and frame sheet from inside the main compartment to adjust the back panel's rigidity to your exact preference. Want maximum structure for heavy loads? Keep it in. Prefer a more flexible carry? Remove it. Your pack, your way.
Introducing Savannah Lining
The Ultra 400TX variant debuts with our new Savannah interior lining – a warm, sophisticated colorway that adds visual depth while maintaining the tactical aesthetic the EVADE is known for.
Lighter Than Ever
Despite all these enhancements, we've reduced the weight to just 3 pounds – proving that evolution doesn't mean compromise.
The EVADE DNA Remains
Same trusted dimensions and volume you know. Same meticulous construction. Same award-winning organization system that keeps your gear exactly where you need it. The EVADE 1.5 Gen 3 maintains the core architecture that earned international recognition while addressing every detail that matters in daily use.
