I got this bag several years ago, and use it ... every day of course. Mostly - it's holding out quite well, except for some abrasion where the bottom rubs against my lower back. The general layout is pretty convenient, especially for use as just a camera bag. My problem is when I want to carry a laptop, an A4 notebook and a camera. Putting the notebook in the main compartment doesn't enable me to put separators in there for the camera and lenses. If I don't carry the laptop, the folder can go into the laptop compartment. But not both. A bit of a bummer, which could probably be fixed in an updated version. How about it, PD guys?

Bought this backpack for Japan trip and it has good capacity but after an hour the straps can be uncomfortable. It has good form and a durable outer shell.

Commuting motorcycle student

I had doubts buying this bag. I own it for a few months now and am happy I do. I commute to my study on a motorcycle Monday to Friday. More than half an hour on the freeway. I had doubts about the bag being waterproof but it totally works fine riding through heavy rain. Even though I’m not a photographer, this is a very handy bag! I do advise to also buy the hip belt.

Everyday 30L Backpack

Had the initial crowd-funding everyday backpack 30L Charcoal. The first batch material was great except for the back mesh material that worn and torn after some use. Got PD to look into that matter and PD sent me a replacement version 2 but the shoulder strap torn barely attached to the rest of the bag, and the internal storage pockets reduced. The external bag designs can bet better and more unique (future proofing)

Great bag with one issue with the material.

I have been using this as an everyday backpack to office and its been a great fit for me. One thing that could have worked better for me is if had an option to add the sternum strap a little lower. Right now it sits high on the chest. Another major concern is the scuff marks it picks up after everyday use.

Great camera backpack!

I’ve been eyeing this backpack for a while and finally bought one, in coyote. I love all the organizations that this bag offers, tried it for a hike even! I knocked off one star because of two things: 1. The laptop compartment is SO TIGHT! Way too tight, I’m barely able to stick an iPad Pro with keyboard case and nothing else. 2. The side pockets are also SO TIGHT!! I had to struggle to stick an 18-oz water bottle in there.
I got this backpack for my last year of high school and soon will take it to college. The biggest thing is that it definitely draws a lot of attention so keep that in mind. It is very sturdy so I am not afraid that it will get damaged. The mag latch is very easy to use after a day of use but other people can’t seem to figure out how to open it first try which will prevent anyone from stealing stuff. There is a perfect amount of pockets and everything is designed great.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Attention to the Details

The magnetic latch (and magnet pockets and shoulder straps) and the origami dividers are what makes this bag for me. The fact that I have the option to either have a ton of different sections or a completely wide open space, is amazing. What a versatile bag. The other thing I really appreciate about this bag (and this company), is the attention to detail. This is a bag, yes..but it's also a piece of art! Ever since I received the everyday backpack as a Christmas gift last year, I have bought 3 more peak design bags. Definitely a lifelong customer!
