Great little bag for a camera and everyday carry
on December 28, 2021
Posted by: hkcanuck

I just got this a week ago, after considering the purchase for quite a while. I was looking for a balance between something small for daily carry (as well as something small enough to fit in any airline's personal item size restriction...I also considered the 20L Everyday BP but that was kind of cutting it close for this purpose and maybe not every airline would allow it).
I did find the backpack's straps to be a bit short, so the end of the padded area was hovering near the front of my shoulders (I'm only 171cm/5'7"). However, as with many things that we may initially have issues with, design considerations are probably the constraint. In this case, I realized that the straps are short because the bag is short...and they couldn't really have a padded strap longer than the bag itself. So this is a slight limitation of this 15L Zip, as dictated but its dimensions.
I wouldn't say this is the most comfortable bag I have, but I'm getting used to it and because it's small, it's not going to get too heavy most of the time anyway. If they could've made the shoulder strap padding thicker, I think it would've helped. I know they couldn't on the 45L Travel BP (which I also have and love) because the straps can be hidden behind the back panel, but with this, I think they could've made it more padded. I'm guessing they wanted to have a consistent look across their product line.
Overall, I still love this for what it is, a compact everyday carry backpack. I have my Fujifilm X-T2 and a 16-80 lens in it, and the rest of the bag I carry other stuff that might be needed, plus leaving enough empty space for any items I may pick up during the day. This is where the Flex Fold dividers really help me efficiently organize the bag for my needs...and it's great that I can change things up when my loads change. This is perhaps one of my favourite features of these PD Everyday BPs.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Great design

I will say initially it underwhelmed me, but after using the bag for a few trips and as a daily driver it is by far the best designed camera bag I’ve owned. I’ve tried them all, Lowepro, Wandrd, etc and this just knocks them out of the water. It’s comfortable, solid materials, zippers work flawlessly, doesn’t look like a camera bag, and the side access and customization is superb. I typically use this as a travel camera backpack, daily work backpack, and “dad” pack for outings with the kids.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Great 15L pack WITH A DEDICATED TABLET SLEEVE!

I just got this bag and it is perfect! I decided to compromise on the tablet sleeve because I wanted the 15L rather than a 20L bag, but to my surprise (and despite what the website/video says) IT INCLUDES A DEDICATED TABLET SLEEVE! So happy to have a great bag with zero compromises and looking forward to putting it to solid use and trying my best to wear it out.

Downsized from 20L to 15L
on December 25, 2021

I used used to use the 20L everyday backpack V1 and V2, then i got the 15L everyday backpack zip in bone colour.
Its size is way suitable for me as a 168cm tall Asian.
The capacity is fine for my everyday carrying, but not if you carry a lot of A4 sized stuff this may be less suitable compared with the 20L.
The main slight noticeable feature are the zips that makes top of the bag entry easier but no expansion like the 20L.
Also there's no magnetic back to home the straps in the body.
Beware that then bone colour does get dirty easily

Modern design and light Camera Backpack

from Seoul, Korea
The design of Everyday v2 Backpack is very modern and convenient.
The excellent build quality and the functionality to put in/out simply.
Designed for both the dedicated photographer, and the everyday commuter, this new addition to the Peak Design Everyday line of bags is ideal for everyday carry and light photo carry, making it the perfect bag to bring for just about any occasion. It is a functionally simpler version of their famous Everyday Backpack and includes 2 separate configurable FledFold dividers to keep all photo, drone, and everyday gear organized, protected, and safely secure instead of bunched at the bottom. The outer shell is made of 100% recycled 400D weatherproof materials to keep everything dry during a downpour.

High Quality and great features

from Mexico
I bought the 15L version and although it is slightly smaller than I expected it is a great backpack if you’re not carrying too much stuff. I was able to fit a bulkier 13 inch laptop with some struggles but overall I’m very satisfied with the quality of the product. I think the 20L version is a much better option for everyday carry. This is my third PD product and I’ll be coming back for more if I can find them at a discount. Shipping to Mexico took about 10 days so it can be improved with international carriers.
