The Small Little Changes Add Up To Really Big Benefits
on December 11, 2019
Posted by: Allan
Functionally, the Zip works better for me than the MagLatch. The MagLatch flap has to flip up and when you wear the bag backwards to get in there it can get in the way. Opening the zippers to expose the top works a lot easier. The newly designed magnetic side pockets means that the side pockets are accessible from the top compartment so no more opening the sides to grab another camera battery or the odd item. A part of me misses the really tiny pockets on the side but functionally there wasn't much use there for me other than holding Capture hex screws so the bigger pockets is still a huge win. Adding compartments to the top/laptop area is great, now I can throw things in there that could scratch sunglasses and not worry at all.
Materials are just drastically better. The fabric on the straps and the ventilated back feels smoother and “slippery” in a way that it wont rub against clothes, cause a lot of friction, or wear itself out. The newer material used for the laptop compartment is a godsend. The V1 felt-like material was like grip tape for Apple's silicone iPad cases. The new material actually lets me slide a covered iPad in effortlessly, even when the main compartment is packed pretty full.
Compared to V1 bags, yes they don't do anything different, but the materials make such a big difference. All the little things that I wished could change on V1 are fixed. But please please please put the serial number somewhere a little easier to read for registering!

Exceeded expectations

The bag is very well structured. Didn't feel too chunky in person. Even the 20L feels super streamlined. Amazingly light weight. The zippers are so effortless, so many wonderful useful details inside the bag.

Very meticulously and intelligently designed, awesome backpack

Little bit about myself for context. My work requires me to travel an overnight trip once a week. I travel for business meetings, so I need to pack a suit plus regular clothes. During my meetings, I'm typically presenting through my computer, which involves having a MBP, batteries, cables, dongles, ipad, notebook, etc.
I've been on the hunt for a single travel backpack given my needs. I don't want to travel with a daypack and duffle or suitcase. I purchased the 20L Everyday Zip and I think it's almost perfect, like 90% of the way there. The main compartment is large enough that I can use a PD medium packing cube to fit all my clothes and there's still a bit of space on top for a small toiletries bag. The smaller side pockets make it easy to store extra cables and cards I don't frequently access. The laptop compartment has little spaces for everything, including the MBP, iPad, charging cables, dongles, extra cables, and pens. The backpack is also super comfortable and relatively light. This is all great great stuff and I truly do enjoy this backpack.
Here's what I'm not particularly fond of. The biggest gripe is the laptop compartment that has a very limited zipper opening. It only goes down about 2-3" on each side and makes it difficult to really see what in there. Because it's not a big opening, your hands rub against the zippers and it's not pleasant. An extra 3" would make a huge different. A small felt lined pocket on top would've been nice.
All in all, it's great!

I have just received my 15L everyday zip backpack. Quality is excellent and the bag has a lot of packing options with plenty of pockets and compartments to fit everything from drones, cameras, tripod, etc. a must have item.
