I previously alternated between using an Everyday Backpack 30L and a 10L sling, but wanted something somewhere between the two sizes. In steps the 15L zip to fill the void.
My use-case is a daily backpack to commute to the office with either a 12.9" iPad with magic keyboard, or 14" MacBook pro, with enough room for lunch, and occasionally a change for the gym.
The 15L everyday zip fills that perfectly. Both the laptop and the ipad fit in the laptop sleeve, but the fit is very tight for both - and to be fair, if you're looking for a more appropriate fit, might be best to go for the 20L, but I was dying for the bone color scheme. The weatherproofing is solid (we have both rain and light snow with regularity). The pockets and nooks are well designed. The backpack feels light and fits comfortably. It looks great in person, and the materials are premium. The padding on the shell is great, and cushions well from the bumps of daily life.
If I had only one comment, it's that I wish the 20L version came in the bone color.
Love it. I took it to NYC and it worked out really well. Perfect size for personal item on an airplane, and it was comfortable for all day walking. I took a mirrorless full frame with an additional lens and some other small accessories with no problem. It was comfortable, as well.
Was looking for a small backpack to replace a similarly sized sling pack to carry a mid-sized dSLR, 100-400mm, short zoom, a few accessories, plus a little extra space for other random items. The Everyday Backpack Zip 15L turned out to be exactly what I needed. The design and construction is so well thought out with great attention to little details that make this pack so awesome! Also nice that it doesn't scream, "photo equipment inside". Have enjoyed using a PD Slide strap for years and this pack has exceeded my expectations.
love this bag for its comfort when you are carrying it on your back or putting it on top of my cabin luggage when im travelling! super versatile and easy to manage, it's always with me when im travelling!
I've had the 15l Backpack Zip for nearly 2 years now, and it has been with me both as an everyday pack and for overseas travel. And it's still holding up beautifully and even fits under-the-seat for air travel.
I bought this one month ago, Everything is going well till now, the quality is good, good looking, I like the side open, this feature is wonderful, but, 20L still not enough for me.
This is easily my favorite every day bag. I'm traveling half the month and have struggled finding a small, light, laptop bag that fits my Mac Air + 15" monitor + all my peripherals and cords. The dividers for this bag gives easy access to the utility bag I got from Peak Designs as well. The laptop compartment keeps your laptop safe and secure while easily accessible.
The details with the luggage pocket make it easy to store and remove, and the pivoting bag straps keep the straps out of the way. I never knew that I was missing multiple handles and zipper straps until I got this bag. Now, I don't know why I've lived without them all my life.
