Alpha One Niner Evade 1.5 the ONE :Best Everyday Carry Backpack (EDC) Ever?

Рет қаралды 64,059

Күн бұрын

Thanks for watching.. In this video I share with you the Alpha One Niner Evade 1.5. This is the third version of this pack. No backpack is perfect but this is the closest that I have come to finding it. I have minimal feedback about this pack. The sewing is great, the materials are great, the design is very well thought out. I could suggest the zippers be a little larger and the grab handle have a less sharp feel but that is really just nit picking. This ONE is a keeper.

Currently sitting in the airport in São Paulo Brazil. Have this bag by my side (500d in ranger green). Here for the second time on a mission trip. From using is as a carry on for long flights, to trecking through the streets in northern Brazil, to using is as an weekend bag, it is about perfect. The materials are top notch. The zippers are smooth and feel like they will last a long time. The organization is exceptional. The space is adequate; I would almost say just right. Not to big, not to small. Even in the Brazilian heat, my back didn’t get to hot. It handles weight well. It is about the perfect bag, and I have it thanks to your reviews. Keep it up!

Also think the cinch down straps for the shoulder harness are a bit too long. Going to have to cut them. Bag is amazing. They need to make a hiking pack! Got all the bells and whistles. Also picked up the Messenger bag chio I think it’s called. Fits my large iPad Pro and chargers and what not. Anyway thanks for finding this under reviewed back! Great video!

Hi George thanks for this amazing review, what’s the difference between the 500D and the 1050 ballistic nylon. Also r these bags waterproof or water resistant

@blammblamm 4 жыл бұрын

"D" stands for Denier referring to the weight of the thread of the nylon webbing. The 1050 thread is double as heavy. At least with Cordura this does NOT mean, that the fabric is twice as heavy, as the density of the weave is higher on 500 D Cordura, giving it a more refined surface. On most packs, the fabric is coated, meaning it will be waterproof.

Hi ! Please I really need an answer.. I’m going for a world tour soon, and this will be my edc backpack (hiking, bushcraft, visiting, etc etc etc ). Do you think I should take the 500D or 1050 ? I’m looking to gain weight but I need something resistant too… THANKS A LOT 🤜🏼🤛🏼

I want to like the bag, but it seems so busy.

After reading your comment, I can see that for some people. If your into a less complex feel I think that GORUCK pack is a good option.

George DEFINED I actually have a GR1 and that’s the first thing I compared this pack with. Btw you should take a look at Evergoods and Mystery ranch assault packs

@@raycontego3276 I have really been thinking about reviewing those packs but they have been reviewed to death. I'm not sure what else I can add to the conversation? What do you think?

Help! Evade 1.5 or Gamut 2.0, George?!?!

If it was me.. I would go Evade.. IMHO..

@@GeorgeDEFINED Thanks for the reply. I went with the Gamut because I liked the exterior styling better and because of the organization. Really tough choice. Can't go wrong either way.

Which bag is your #1 EDC pick at this moment?

@GeorgeDEFINED 4 жыл бұрын

This one.. overall I think the Greenroom 136 Rainmaker is 3rd, GORUCK GR1 2nd and Evade 1.5 FIRST.. IMHO.. See ya ✌🏾

George DEFINED I would agree with your assessment, I also have the latest greenroom136 rainmaker large without the rain flaps. For me the EV1.5 is king of the hill, #2 for me would be my madden equipment #1 backpack (discontinued, made in USA goodness), #3 would be the greenroom136 rainmaker as it’s pretty large for EDC but doable if you carry a lot. Keep up the good work bro!
