I needed a backpack that was for a minimal amount of gear to use around town or short trip. The Everyday Backpack Zip is exactly what I needed. It's easy to get to the gear through the side entrance. The Everyday Backpack Zip is very comfortable to wear. It is made very well. I have the 15L in midnight blue.
I got a fancy new FPV drone and needed and equally fancy backpack to go with it and the Everyday Zip is perfect. Got the 15 and 20 respectively and love them both. Super easy to get to storage and a great modern look.
I purchased this before a trip to Italy and really found it useful to swing the back pack on the side and open the zipper to get at my passport etc. Also, once at a hotel it was really nice to be able to open the entire backpack up to see everything without having to fumble around inside.
Very high quality, extremely well thought out, and looks great. Perfect size for a "personal item" on a plane and carry's all I need for event photography. Last trip I fit a sony mirrorless body with 55mm lens attached, Leica M with 3 lenses, 1 flash, clean shirt and swim trunks, toiletries bag (from Peak) 13" laptop, backup battery and a couple chargers.
If you are only shooting for one day and your equipment can be carefully selected, this backpack is all you need. If there were a 30L size, it could be used in a wider range of situations.
I have been using my bag for a while now and am glad to have the space and durability. Has been through rain and performed quite well. I ended up using zip ties to tie up the extra shoulder dangling strap. I would love to see this in more bright colors with complementary zippers colors. The sternum strap got lost so I had to get another. i hope you start to sell them on the website. I would make the size of the bag just a bit smaller for people like me with a smaller frame.
I bought the 20L bag and took it on a couple of international trips so far. I travel a lot for work, multiple airports, through security, in and out taxis and trains - organization and access are the key things that I love about this bag. There are so many little design details that make a big difference, like being able to access it from either side. It's also very comfortable to carry - I walked with it for 5 hours in the city and was not tired.
