Minor inconvenience
on December 26, 2019
Posted by: RC
First, I love my PD Everyday Backpack. I had the first version and upgraded to this one. The shoulder straps, without getting into padding because I don't carry that much weight, are extremely well designed. I love the addition of the magnets. The dividers within the body of the bag are more firm this version, which was a beneficial change for me. I'm hard on my bag and use it for a variety of purposes. The dividers actually stay in place now and force me to be careful with my things.
Now to my gripes. So much is my inability to work with this bag on the table or ground without straddling it. If sat down, it inevitably tips over. Cool, my stuff doesn't get damaged, but I don't want to think so hard about balancing my bag on the ground. Next, and arguably my biggest annoyance, is the design of the main side flap zipper. I want the zippers to extend out to closer to the panel that faces my back. It would be so nice to be able to open the side panel to a point where the sides stay open with holding them. Currently, the zippers keep the side panels from opening fully.

Best Travel Backpack to date
on December 25, 2019
Posted by: Ray S
Owner of the original everyday backpack 20L here from the kickstarter launch. The backpack is amazing for everyday use as advertised and is even better for travel. The multitude of compartments are super handle and well thought out. The secret passport flap is perfect (if you haven't discovered it, look for it!). The little pouch in the same compartment as the laptop/tablet compartment is perfect for quick access to all your everyday items.
The original kickstarter version has more pockets and better fit and trim (I'd totally recommend getting your hands on one of the original versions if you can), The latest updated version has improvements, but I still like the quality and are of the original.

Great versatility - a different thought process.

I bought this bag based on online reviews of the V1 bag. This bag has met my expectations, albeit with a change in expectations and the resultant layout. I'm very used to bags that store the items horizontally when the bag is laid on its' back. This "vertical" concept for lack of a better term, was at first a bit of a disappointment until I began to determine just how and what I was going to store in the different locations. Suffice to say that with a change in my thought process and the help of several smaller cases to hold small items, I was able to put a lot more into this bag than I have in any other I've used before. The only real issue is that the straps are a bit thinner than you'd expect in a bag that is able to hold this much gear. Also, the placement of a PD Capture clip on the strap is not all that intuitive, i.e. the location placement based on strap width is not ideal. With that said, I've enjoyed the bag nonetheless. It does hold a whole lot of stuff!

The Bees Knees

I've already taken this bag across multiple countries and it's held up beautifully. Even elements that I've been nervous about, like the velcro, elastic, and stitching have shown themselves to be truly quality. I can't speak to what it'll be like after a few years, but it's so functional and easy to adapt to my daily needs, I can't see getting a better bag.

Very useful for daily use

I've use Peak Design Backpack for my daily activities.
It's the best backpack that I've used.
However, I think it's a bit heavy for me.

Perfect fit for my needs

No complaints, this backpack is exactly what I was looking for. I have a smaller crop sensor camera with multiple lenses and I love being able to organize them exactly the way I want.
They did an amazing job at maximizing space and function while keeping off any excess. Even though its a small bag it still has a lot of room for all your gear.

Its all I need

One of the best camera backpacks I've ever used. This new bag by peak is a champ and looks really sleek. All my photographer friends were impressed. It's sturdy, well made, and has a hard casing to protect your most prized camera gear. It's also waterproof! I just recently bought this and have already used it on a few photography trips. The padding and straps are very comfortable and make it a breeze to carry around while you walk. I took this along on a hike and didn't feel bothered by having this bag on my back. It's that comfy!!

Very Tall Bag 30L
on December 17, 2019
Posted by: Susie
I am 5'6 and bought the 30L bag to use for school as well as the camera equipment. This bag fits the camera equipment beautifully but at my height it almost feels like a travellers back pack. If there was a 25L that would be the perfect size. Overall the bag has some amazing and clever features. I have processed a return request however, it seems to be more challenging than expected.
