Absolutely loving the backpack after 6 weeks. Peak Design’s attention to detail is incredible as there are so many small, well thought out features. My favorite is the way the straps are attached to the bag allows them to rotate without bunching up. I’ve had Peak Design products for over 4 years now but their Everyday Backpack is on another level. Great job team.
I had the original version of this product and loved it more than any pack I've ever owned. I got many compliments as I traveled. I bought the 30L version because the 20L was so great, but be aware it's too big to fit under most airplane seats. The zipper on the origianl broke and could not be repaired so they replaced it with version 2. This is also a great pack but I prefer the original colors/materials to the new one. I also prefer the design of the side pockets on the original. I really am disppointed that half of the side pockt is just a open pocket that doesn't zip shut. It's too easy for things in there to fall out. It's also just one big pocket. On the original there were several small pocket that were perfect for organizing my stuff. The side pockets are the biggest disappointment.
Everything in the introductory video is true and working, as i got the bag it had some cosmetic nicks on the leather which i didnt mind because i had an international flight, nothing to be functionally not working. Some things that can be improved is that the hooks on the front when in use pull the front of the bag outwards, that makes the top of the zippers fold inwards making them hard to open and close. The bag is heavy which is not bad considering it holds its form at 1.5 kgs, the most important thing is with a 2.5 kg laptop a full body dslr and and extra lens + an ipad, + a huge powerbank and all the accessories which are heavy, at 10 KGs it isnt hard to carry at all, it is heavy but it isnt annoying on your shoulders if you close the front strappy thingy.
This is the second Everyday Backpack I have owned. I also have the version 1 in 20L size. Sadly, I outgrew that in equipment terms and would have bought a 30l version 1 but couldn't locate one. So I bought the v2 30l and I am very happy with it. It allows me to carry two camera bodies, four lenses, a drone controller and batteries, a speedlight, batteries, filter system and two travel tripods as well as an Osmo Pocket AND an Insta360 One X2 with selfie stick, grip etc. It isn't perfect, but it's very close.
