This backpack is truly one of a kind — versatile, thoughtfully engineered, and highly usable. Over the years, I’ve tried many types of camera backpacks, and finally, I landed on Peak Design. I started with the 15L Everyday Zip and later upgraded to the 20L Charcoal Everyday Backpack. I must say, it’s a wonderful bag — tough, sleek, and designed with a photographer’s real needs in mind. Easily one of the best camera bags in the market.
And I can’t go without mentioning Peak Design’s incredible warranty service — it’s the cherry on top!
Pros:
Durable and well-designed
User-friendly layout
Attention to small, thoughtful details
Cons:
User-friendly layout
Attention to small, thoughtful details
Cons:
The partitions could offer more grip to secure gear better
A full-zip opening would make gear management easier, especially at the start
Missing a zipper in the top panel
Wish:
Would love to see designer editions with patterns or artwork — something unique and stylish!

Nobody's perfect

I've had the v1 and v2 of this bag. It's the best bag in the world - I've tried a lot of bags over the years. It's great for travelling, fits easily in the carry on allowance for domestic and international flights. It has fantastic features. V2 increased the number of neat magnetic closures that keep the bag looking neat.
The adjustable chest strap is easy to use. Things you don't use every day are hidden - e.g., straps and tie downs. It's expandable. Removable bits to cushion camera gear. Stowage for a laptop plus a tablet.
One comment I have for the designers is to improve the shoulder hinge on v3. It's very comfortable, but after some time the hinge points can squeak.
Amongst the 100 great features of this bag that's one gripe. The warranty is lifetime, and serious. I'm on the train now, looking at my brand new replacement bag that PD sent me. It's my second v2. If they make a v3 I'll buy it.
I also have the Capture Clip and a wrist strap. Everything PD makes is worth your consideration

I love how functional and flexible this backpack is. It has tons of convenient pockets and is very well-built. It works great as a photography bag, but also in other contexts like commuting and traveling.
After 2+ years of use, I ran into a minor issue where the two magnets that hold the straps in place would move out of their socket; but the bag was very quickly replaced with a new one under warranty (I was surprised since it was really not such a big issue).
The only two slight downsides that I see are:
- The bag could be lighter when empty
- The vertical compartment at the back feels quite tight when placing both a laptop and tablet.
