EVADE 1.0

The Evade, distilled.

The Evade 1.0 brings the same design language into a smaller-volume, lower-profile format.

Designed for those who prefer to carry lighter — or want a cleaner silhouette for urban environments — the Evade 1.0 retains the core features that define the Evade series while trimming excess volume.

It’s ideal for daily essentials, compact tech setups, or as a streamlined companion when the full capacity of the 1.5 isn’t needed.

Same build quality. Same attention to detail. Just more compact.

What's in our new 1.0

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.

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 1.0 maintains the core architecture that earned international recognition while addressing every detail that matters in daily use.

Available in Three Premium Fabrics

Challenge Ultra 400TX (Black) – Ultra-lightweight, waterproof, and virtually indestructible
Dimension-Polyant X42 (Black & Olive) – The perfect balance of weight, durability, and weather resistance

Built for Those Who Demand More

Whether you're navigating airport terminals, commuting to the office, or moving through your city, the EVADE 1.0 adapts to your mission. This isn't just a backpack – it's a system designed by people who understand that the details matter, because your day depends on them.

Same award-winning foundation. Refined for the way you actually carry.
