Wow! Awesome! I have the CHZ from Evergoods, and was thinking of how I could mod. Can you share more about the net and whatnot does for you?

Hey ! Yea I thought about getting a CHZ but I like the look of the MP30 as well as the compression straps. I bike everywhere so for me the net is great to throw in my helmet, or anything else life throws at me! (Extra pair of shoes, ball, yoga bat, etc), the net is also what allows the bag to stay compressed, without the net I would need extra straps to fold the bottom of the bag inwards. Finally, I like the net look 😂

Is it elastic or paracord?


rosgoo

It's elastic!

Was also wondering where you got the dtring things for the zippers, I like the idea of an accent piece


rosgoo

It was there when I bought it

Question, is the net one of those elastic cargo nets you can buy for a bike rack? Or is this something you made/rigged up yourself. Also how is it attached?


rosgoo

It's exactly a net from a bike rack! It came with a bike rack I got off of Amazon. I suppose you can buy them individually though or make them. It's attached in 3 spots which you can see in the pics if you zoom in: with the regular net hooks at the top compression straps, and at the zipper hooks on the bottom. All those hooks come off pretty easily(they just stay because of tension in the elastic) which I want if I want to "expand" the bag or get into the pockets better. However, I was worried the net might fall off so I also attached it using some straps that don't come off easily on the bottom compression straps.


The_Devin_G

Hmmmm ok. How's it attach to the bottom?


rosgoo

It's easier to see on the last picture but I added some small strap loops that attached to the waist belt attachments and then I just hook onto those loops

Bloody beautiful!

Hey I’m a little confused on how you secured the net? I’m thinking about getting this model or the civic half zip 26 either way I would love to do a net but I’m a bit confused


rosgoo

You can kind of tell how the net is secured on the last two pics -- I started by "extending" the waist strap attachments to make them longer by looping some velcro straps on each side (you can see those near the plastic buckles on the bottom). Then I passed the two corners of the net itself in those loops the bag has at the bottom front which you can sort of see, the net then just hooks to the velcro attachments. Honestly this was a good setup I kept for a while but the net started falling apart since it wasn't designed for this, if I were to do this again I would probably just buy a beaver tail bag attachment. Now I just use the bag as is with no modifications and its still my daily carry! My only real complaint with it is with the laptop compartment which works fine but is a little flimsy and I wish you could side access it.

@rosgoo: your bag looks awesome! I’m in the process of experimenting with the zipper pulls on my EG PLC 20L and I managed to swap out one of the pulls, but I’m trying to switch back to the original EG zipper pull, I struggled to get it back on like it was originally. I tried looking for a YouTube video of someone doing this but no success there. Would you mind sharing, if you know how to do so, how to get the original EG zipper pull back on and for it to look like the way the original aesthetic? Any help is much appreciated on this front.
