I bought this bag for travel and hiking with my camera gear. I'm still trying to dial in the organization but, so far it has worked great for flights. I wish the flaps of the side openings were more flexible so they stay open on their own. Maybe if the zipper was extended?
Great pack that I do carry everyday. As a musician, its modularity helps keep all my gear organized. I do wish the internal magnetic pockets either had 2 magnets spaced to help seal the pocket further or a zipper and I would love if there was a rainfly that fit this bag.
The bag is beautiful, functional, and gets the job done. In 2024, can I recommend this at the current price point? Probably not, unless you are already in the ecosystem. The bag needs a non-compromised approach to organization. The two big things I see in competitors are: 1) a dedicated AirTag pocket. I don’t want to compromise and use an existing pocket like I do currently, so I can reserve these for my gear. I’d also like to see this hidden. 2) a dedicated quick access pouch. This is a no-brainer; the ability to access essentials without having to expose all my gear would be great, ie AirPods / sunglasses. 3) straps. The straps are the biggest shortcoming of this bag and could use some love with some newer tech like Aer and Alpaka.
Love it. Versatility is unrivaled…..multiple shelving that can be moved or totally removed. The top latching system and side zippers makes access easy. Water resistant can’t say how many times I’ve left exposed and no issues. Have large variety of packs but I keep going back to PD.
Literal everyday pack with unique & great features

I've used my PD Everyday Backpack for nearly 7 years now and it's quite literally my go-to everyday bag. I love the clean design and functional features that make packing the bag kind of a fun activity (creating different compartments to keep items organized). The origami-inspired interior is both unique and very practical for organization!
I use this backpack literally every day of my life. I’ve had this for 3 years and i still find new things it does. As an actor, i always get audition requests at the most inconvenient times. This backpack makes every time convenient as i always have my tripod, camera mounts, microphone, and lighting with me at all times, all while still being able to carry my every day items in it. Well worth the money.
