Great for a shot and go

This is a great bag for a single body and the holy-trinity of lenses. It's small and compact but can take a 70-200mm f/2.8 lens with ease. This is my go-to back for shooting, I'll only break our the travel backpack if I'm travelling or carrying more gear.
Incredible bag! No but really. I struggled for about 3 months trying to find the perfect bag for my drone and camera. Love the versatility of the adjustable pockets and the multiple zippers for ease of access. There is literally a pocket for anything and everything I need in this bag. Oh - and the key fob holder bungie thing is really handy too.
I recently purchased the Everyday Backpack Zip in Midnight Blue. I am so glad that I did! The bag is well-constructed, feels sturdy, and is beautiful. There are plenty of pockets and configurations that make this bag very versatile. I have no problem fitting my camera body, 3 lenses, headphones, a lightweight jacket, and... there's plenty of room for more. The blue color is classy and the leather accents a nice touch. I highly recommend these backpacks- they are definitely worth the price tag.
I purchased the 15L back in February when I was suppose to go to Italy in mid March. Well that trip didn't happen, but a bunch of little day trips did in 2020 and this bad boy came with me. Packing a Sony A7 body, 50 mm lens, GoPro7, batteries, accessories, tripod, and gimbal for the GoPro. Yes, that all PACKED into this bag! The chest strap really helped make it comfortable to carry it all throughout the day. Would I buy this again? Yes, I'd personally go a bit bigger now. However, I bought this size because I was going to be traveling throughout Italy over a couple of weeks. Do I recommend this bag? Yess!
I like my camera bags to be relatively small. I don't like to carry a lot of extra gear on me. Typically when I'm working, I have two cameras out and then an extra lens and a few smaller gear items in a bag. This backpack is perfect for how I work and what I like to carry. Love the smart design, making great use of the small space. Easy to squish a jacket inside, slip a water bottle or travel coffee mug in the side, even strap an extra pair of sneakers to the outside. Really love this bag and very quickly retired another brand that I had been using for a long time. Simple, clean, and a really effective use of space.
I've been using the 15L backpack for about a month now and I'm more then satisfied with possibilities. I use it for daily commuting to work and as a daypack during weekends or hikes. For my daily routine it fits a 13” laptop, my A5 notebook, a bunch of pens, several charging cables, 1200 ml lunchbox, pack of rice crackers, ergonomic wireless mouse, my reading glasses, water resistant pants (all on the inside) and a 800ml water bottle (external pockets on the side). In weekends it's making room for 12.9” iPad Pro + iPad Air 2, sketchbook, Macrolens-kit for iPhone, external battery, 8x40 binocular, Zenit 122, 2 analogue films, PD Slide (all on the inside), 800ml water bottle and an umbrella (outside). For only 15L I think this is one of my favorite backpacks I own/use. So versatile, compact and slick looking... I love it. Thanks for making awesome climate neutral products.
I have got the 15L version as I only wanted to carry a FF body, 2 zoom lenses plus some accessories. It accommodated the way I wanted to distribute the weight well, leaving room for an additional jacket and some snacks where needed. The pockets are well designed and placed thoughtfully, allowing for easy access once a packing system is established. The laptop slots is a little tight, especially if the main compartment is well filled. However, it's fine for a thin modern 13in laptop. Thus far, it's been my go-to bag for walks and hikes, even walkabouts in town. Loving it.
