Great, versatile backpack
on February 21, 2022
Posted by: MiloW
from Poland
After two years of use, I can honestly say that this is the most comfortable backpack I have ever had. The 270-degree zipper gives you the option of opening it like a suitcase, which is extremely convenient for everyday quick packing. I've had an EDBv1 20L and a Sling 10L before, but the EDBv2 15L Zip is the perfect half-measure. It is a pity that there are no magnetic strips like in EDBv2 and holders for hanging straps. I dealt with it myself, a little non-invasive modification. I usually carry a tablet, Tech Pouch and a raincoat inside, but I can easily stuff my SLR camera. Furthermore, I was surprised that the Travel Tripod can be squeezed inside.
I would recommend this to a friend!

warranty exchange

The zipper for the laptop compartment of my EVERYDAY BACKPACK ZIP broke after 5 years. I received the current model without an invoice and without a discussion about the guarantee. Very nice! The improvements are also very good. There is no longer any tension on the zipper for the laptop compartment. This model may really last as long as the warranty.

Best backpack I've ever had.

Women carry handbags, men carry backpacks :). I've carried a backpack to work for many years and have changed many of them over 20 years. But I kept telling myself they weren't the right fit, too soft, didn't hold their shape, got wet, etc.
I like classic looking backpacks and that's why I chose the Everyday Backpack Zip 20l. And from that moment on I don't carry any other backpack but this one. It has to accompany me to work, on trips with my family and on vacation. Just everywhere I need to carry something that doesn't fit in my pockets. Moreover, thanks to the 20l volume, it forces me to think about what I'm taking with me, so I don't carry any unnecessary things.
Since I bought an older DSLR some time ago, I based it on the need to carry it everywhere with me and often with additional lenses. The perfect thing is that I can tailor the main compartment of the backpack to the needs at hand and place daily necessities like sanitizer, hand cream, a small knife and other things in the small pockets. I tend to use the back pockets for my laptop and tablet to carry documents and more valuable small items.
And the workmanship? This is of course of the highest possible standard, as we are used to with Peak Design products. The fabric that the backpack is made of is waterproof, and what's more, in the grey finish you can hardly see any smudges or dirt. And if any do happen to show up, all you need is a damp cloth and you're cleaned up. Plus, I love the little details like the magnetic side pockets for a bottle/tripod, the pack always stands upright on the ground, the zipper can be opened almost the entire circumference of the pack for easier organization of the luggage, and the list goes on.
Next time I see this as some sort of Travel Backpack... we'll see :).

This backpack is everything the reviews and videos says it is. Easy to load and unload, easy to redesign the interior storage, easy on and off, and fits well.

Pricey, But Still the Best Backpack I've Ever Used
on February 12, 2022
Posted by: PsychoticWalrus
from DFW Area, Texas
To keep it brief, I only have two issues with this backpack-
It struggles to stand up on its own sometimes, causing frustration, and forcing me to prop it up against something.
And, I wish the exterior was smoother, like most Aer products, for example.
Other than those two issues, this is an expensive- but amazing backpack, and I don't regret my purchase at all.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Thoughtful & Functional Design
on February 7, 2022
Posted by: Scenic Days

Quality meets function + aesthetic design. This backpack was thoughtfully designed for the photographer/videographer in mind. It’s great for everyday, travel & adventure. The dual zippers make accessing gear easy. Plenty of internal pockets make it easy to stay organized. The clean aesthetic and simplified design was also a huge draw for me. I purchased this bag in the bone color and to say I’m obsessed is an understatement. The 15L size fits my everyday needs; however, I would have definitely purchased the 20L size if it came in the bone color for a little extra space.
I also like that you can add a hip belt to this pack for added stability when hiking longer trails—I just wish the hip belt also came in the bone color as well to keep the overall aesthetic of the bag. Overall, this is the best Camera backpack I have used to date! It deserves all the hype!

Super functional

I bought this backpack a month ago and I’m super happy with its ability to store my cameras and additional lenses as well as the many small items I always take with me - cereal bar, extra batteries, chargers, pens, chapstick, small notebook. I appreciate the many pockets - some with zippers and some without - and feel like I can find a spot for everything. I also feel that the backpack is more mature than most with more obvious zippers. The only small complaint I have is that the water bottle pockets on the side are super tight and I can’t fit my usual water bottle in them. Overall, I’m very happy with the backpack.

15L - Great Size for Casual Shooter
on February 1, 2022

I got the 15L after much debate on what would be the perfect size camera backpack for me. Most other ones I looked at were either enormous or too small (I have a small sling that fills that need).
Quality:
Amazing. Perhaps the most well-made backpack I've ever had. Durable materials, soft interior, magnetic and zip pockets, just really overall great design.
Quality:

Regarding size:
The 15L is perhaps SLIGHTLY smaller than I anticipated, I think somewhere around 18L would've been the sweet spot for my needs. In this I can fit basically all my camera gear, but little else. It fits my APS-C, a few lenses, my DJI Mini2 w/ Controller, 13" Macbook Pro, and some random dongles and accessories. Maybe a snack. It's not a huge issue cause I rarely ever pack all that at once, but it happens.
Secondly, the straps are a little tight. To be expected on a smaller bag like this, but something to keep in mind if you're a guy with broad shoulders, you'll likely have to loosen the straps close to all the way for it to be comfortable.

Would still totally recommend this for someone looking for a smaller backpack, but just a couple things to keep in mind.
