Got this one for a bigger laptop that didn't fit the gray 20L version I had before, and it's every bit as good. All the compartments, magnets, thoughtful details. Actually feels more comfortable to wear than the 20L as well, in spite of being a bit heavier. Would have preferred one of the options without the leather handle, but this one was on a pretty good sale, so whatever. The dark blue does look really nice!
Great backpack, great support, great warranty! I have had the backpack four years ago and used it basically every day. Very happy with the versatility and comfort of the backpack, and I have used it for going to university, going on trips and as a camera bag. If I could change on the it would be to make the side pockets a bit deeper to more securely hold taller water bottles, but otherwise it perfect for me. Recently the zippers have become worn out and I did a warranty claim in the hopes of getting it repaired or even a new one, and have gotten a new backpack for free! I also have the Slide and the Capture and very happy with those too // a very pleased customer
Got this backpack to replace my Everyday V1 backpack. Love the color. Appears robust and well constructed like you would expect from PD. Straps are more comfortable than V1. Only thing I miss from V1 are the inside side panel pockets. I thought that the side panel pockets on V1 were better designed and more user friendly but new backpack still has great storage for all my gear.
This is by far the best backpack I have ever used. The many pockets are great to keep everything tidy and the dividers to perfectly fit whatever you want to carry. There are just two things that have annoyed me: The slim-ish profile can make it harder to carry lots of books and papers if you want to use it as your university bag and one of the anchors of the shoulder straps started squeaking. Besides that it is still in remarkably great shape even after two years of use.
I have been using everyday backpacks for almost a decade now, and every normal day and every trip I take with it, it amazes me how much easier it makes it for someone like me who likes to be organized. This second version also has some improvements like the magnets for storage. It’s even better when using it along with the pouches, for further organizing.
All in all it’s a wonderful and very comfortable experience to use this backpack.
I bought the bag about 6 months ago, use it daily. Fits my laptop, a digital notebook and some other gear I take to my office job. I really love it - fits more than it seems, and looks great! Recently I started using it on flights - when configured properly the 20L is more than enough for everything you need on a plane.
I've owned various versions of this backpack and this is certainly the best one yet. The customization inside is what sets it apart for me, and the great protection of laptops and cameras. I think comfort is quite low as it doesn't conform very well, and after all this time I think the way the top compartment expands is more of a gimmick than actually useful. Overall, great backpack that I'd recommend anyone to try out.
