I can tell that a lot of time & effort has been put into the design of the Everyday backpack. The features and usability feel like they’re designed by people who are photographers. Nothing feels cheap. One gripe is that the black picks up dust and gets dirty easily. Also could potentially have more shoulder padding in the strap?
I've had this for a couple of years now. Previously I used a 45L shoulder bag (which was overstuffed) that had no padding. I bought the 30L Everyday Backpack and spent time learning how to pare back on what I carry. That paid off and I've traveled to various places in the States, Cozumel and the Bahamas with this bag; carried a D850 with a 24-120 lens, a 20mm lens, an iPad, Mac. and a couple days of clothes and the usual personal care items. Oh, and a pair of Chacos. Love this pack! Easy to stick in the overhead, comfortable to carry. Even got a complement on it in the club between flights.
I love my backpack. But it’s too easy to open for a thief behind you in the subway or train or any crowded place. Fortunately my passport was inside inner pocket and the thief could not get to it.
She needed a slim version of her old bag. she just needed a laptop sleeve and some storage space. I saw this bag and thought of her immediately! She was pleasantly surprised. Thank you so much Peak Design for a great bag!
Two of my adult children own Everyday Backpacks and use them to carry their professional camera gear…I’ve admired those bags every time they showed up at the house. So sleek! So sturdy! So many possibilities to configure just the way you want!
My loyal backpack of many (many) years bit the dust and I immediately went to Peak Design for a replacement. I opted for the 20L version and a matching tech pouch. It is perfect. Mary Poppins magic carpet bag perfect. I carry it to work every day, hauling laptop, files, personal belongings; and using one of the flex fold dividers for storing my lunch at the top of the bag. My bag has already been on an airplane, a roadtrip and an overnight stay with the Grandbabies. The magnet stays in the straps are genius - no tangled webbing and everything stays tucked in and tidy even when tossed around by the TSA. I love this bag so much and look forward to hundreds of adventures with it.
The sheer amount of pockets and hidden storage in the bag pack is almost as impressive as the design itself. The interior shelving is a game changer! I just wish it had a dedicated slot for pens/pencils.
