Best bag ever!
on March 4, 2021
Posted by: Tommy
I was skeptical at first why it was so expensive, and was worried that it might wear down, but with the lifetime warranty and house food it is, you can't go wrong. I'm a student, and it's perfect. It fits everything I need, and when I have to bring an especially large textbook or notebook, it expands no problem. In my opinion, but this bag, and never but a bag again.

Fantastic engineering, but still can be improved
on March 4, 2021

I write this review from the standpoint of a overall pleased user. This has been the best photography backpack I have ever owned. It is well-built, logical in construction, and is easy to access. I can even put it down and not worry about it falling over.
That said, I have some small gripes.
1. PD does not offer a good two-camera solution, for those of use who use two cameras simultaneously. The only way to really use two cameras is to hold one on a capture clip, ideally on the shoulder strap, and use the other camera. But the capture clip does not easily fit on the straps, and if the bag has weight, it will sit a little too high for the best mounting spot. (Also, a loaded clip makes it difficult to take the bag off to get other gear.)
2. The belt is underwhelming. Also, related to #1. It's hard to reach when switching lenses.
3. Since I use the bag for everything, I put flashes in the top. I would appreciate a drawstring inner mesh to make sure that things don't fall out when I whip that bag around to get out new gear. As a PJ, things move fast. If that drawstring mesh could be stowed out of the way, it wouldn't annoy other users who don't feel that it is necessary.

One of the most well-thought-out bags I've ever used.

I've been writing bag reviews and content for a while. In that time I've always wanted an Everyday Backpack. When my daughter was born, I had an excuse to get one. The hype is totally justified. The Everyday Backpack is one of the most feature-rich and well-thought-out bags I've ever used, and I've used at least forty bags in the last two years. For my use case, it's fantastic. Having multiple access points is stellar, multiple handles to grab it from is very convenient, and the aesthetics of it can take you anywhere from offices and restaurants to forests and beaches. Pocketing is clever and placed perfectly, isolated laptop compartment is stellar, magnets to keep shoulder straps in place is inspired, and so much more. Honestly, the only downside is that the shell doesn't have a ton of give, which is a minuscule downside, but it's understandable because it protects what's inside and keeps its shape whether full or empty. If you're on the fence about it, do it.

Yes! That will fit.

My goal was to find a decent camera backpack to hold my Nikon D500 with my Sigma 150-600 Contemporary Lens attached. The 20L does do just that. In fact, it holds my extra batteries, my 35mm lens, my charger, my camera strap, my .380 and an extra mag, my 13" MacBook Pro, my coffee thermos (on the inside), by water bottle (on the outside), and it has plenty of room to spare.

Just a great lookin' go-to!

I was exclusively using this for outtings with my camera, but I've gradually transitioned to using it for everything. It's my work bag and hiking bag with or without a camera. But let's get real, if you own PD stuff, chances are you carry a camera with you all the time. My Everyday bag is the camel/brown/tan one they had at one point, and I do not regret nabbing this stylish bag, especially since that colour is no longer available.

Great upgrade
on February 20, 2021
Posted by: Hugo Oswald
great upgrade to what was already a great bag. I have used the V1 backpack for years as my daily carry to and from work, and it has enabled me to always carry my camera gear with me for those opportune moments when a camera comes in handy
