I had read rave reviews before for these backpacks, but holding one in person was another experience altogether. If you think you've had a high quality backpack in the past, I challenge you to think again - This piece by Peak Design continues to surprise and delight weeks after I bought it. The quality of materials and craftsmanship is everywhere (and I mean, everywhere!), not just on a zipper or two. I bought this pack for my husband who is using it for travel in addition to everyday use between his office and a construction site. The bag has held up and still looks as new as when we bought it. I'm glad we found your site when we did - I can't wait to buy a bag for myself too!
I purchased this bag because I love everything about Peak Design and I preferred the aesthetic of the zip to that of the Everyday Backpack (EB). The design, in particular the accessibility, is second to none. However, if I knew then what I know now, I would have purchased the EB instead of the Zip because of one feature—the magnetic shoulder straps. My understanding was that it was just a different design, not a step down from the EB. I travel a lot and thought the Zip would have them, but it didn’t. I used a friend’s EB and it makes a big difference for keeping things neat and orderly when stowed on a roller-board.
I've had this bag for a year now and use it either as a camera bag or for trips. I like that it's not too bulky but holds a lot of stuff. Very sleek design with no loose straps and very comfy to carry on your shoulders. It's great!
Have used this as a commuter bag for a few weeks and absolutely love it. Upgraded from a V1 (non-zip) version and I prefer this zip version over the old one (which I also loved!).
FAR exceeded my expectations. The bells, whistles, and pockets truly make this backpack worth the price. I swear, I'm finding out little surprises about this backpack everyday. I am an Nightshift RN, a mom, a photographer, and an avid traveler, and let me tell you - I have TRULY found the bag that can do it ALL! I seriously have not been this giddy / excited about a backpack ever in my life!!!
I love all the pockets and compartments in this bag, it really helps to keep all the little things organized. The bag is made of premium quality materials where you can tell it will hold up well over time. So many versatile features and great quality bag overall. If I could change one thing, it would be the dividers, I feel like I could fit a lot more gear snuggly in the bag if there was either one extra divider included or maybe some small ones the separate the large areas. This is minor and probably due to user error in not knowing how to properly use the dividers.
