Meticulously Designed
on August 9, 2022
Posted by: Mark
from Dallas TX
I am a backpack enthusiast, I own several backpacks and I buy and sell them to try new ones. The everyday backpack v2 is always in my rotation. I am not into photography but the ingenious access system makes this work for a variety of settings (office pack, diaper bag). It is on the expensive side but the design is so good that other established companies have tried to imitate it. I love the versatility of the organization. I dislike that the material will pick up dust and sand, noticeably on the black model.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Verified Purchase:Yes
This pack is definitely one of the most thought out packs I've ever seen. Have to lug around a massive amount of gear with a laptop and be able to get to everything with ease is a feat only mastered by the Peak Everyday backpack!
Congrats to the team responsible for the design. This is a true winner!

Great bag, some discomforts

Backpack was bought on PD marketplace. Overall fantastic bag. My marketplace purchase looked brand new. I used it on a trip where it help my Mavic 3, 3 extra batteries, controller, tech pouch, 16" 2021 MacBook Pro, Steam Deck, and iPad without issue.
Only reason for 4/5 is the magnets that hold the straps help digging into my shoulders and easily felt even through a hoodie.

Great bag and support from Peak Design

I purchased this bag about a month or so ago after seeing it on YouTube and it hasn’t disappointed. It’s certainly a lot more different from the backpacks I’ve used before but it works well as an everyday carry bag and excellently as a camera bag. Peak Design support was quick to reply to emails (within a few days or even sooner) and helped answer the simplest of questions I had to even getting a warranty replacement done for some minor issues with the initial unit. Overall a great product from a great team. Can’t wait to see what further improvements this bag will get in the future.

Top Notch Quality

Have been using for several months now and honestly I'm still finding little extras every week that just make this bag a pleasure to use. Small pockets line larger ones, many locations for any sized items, multiple ways to enter the large portion of the bag, multiple laptop/tablet sleeves--its a just a pure pleasure to use.

Too much hype but functionally lacking.

I love PEAK DESIGN and all of the ten or so items I have purchased and used daily. The quality and functionality of every product have been great until I recently purchased the Everyday Backpack. I have tried for over a month to arrange the bag in a manner where I felt my expensive camera and lens were well protected but with no success. All of the videos were convincing and I even purchased individual foam covers for my expensive prime lens, but even that didn't give me the proper fit or confidence I expected. The bag is very well made and the design concept appeared in line with all of the other PEAK DESIGN items I have purchased and love, however, protecting over 7K of equipment (especially prime mirrorless lens) requires more than this bag offers. The buyer's remorse led me back to a new Pelican Case that even holds my PD Tripod and the other great PD items I have purchased. I did put a PD sticker on my new Pelican.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

The Bag!

So there are two sizes, I watched the video and was like I know what size I want...wrong! The 30L arrived and I was like that's the size of my torso and some. The return process was amazing and soon enough I had the 20l in my possession!
So after my little misstep the 20 lire is amazing.
So I purchased to have a camera bag/backpack. I have a sling over the shoulder but it I'm walking around a little just taking amateur photos it's gets heavy but I will still keep my side slingbag for the purpose but if I plan on walking a little or going overseas I wanted something a bit more travel friendly.
I didn't want a bag that screamed camera bag, mainly for personal safety and totally want to underplay what's in there.
This bag achieves that. (The camera gear I have is a mirrorless camera plus a couple of prime lenses and a tele, sometimes the tripod comes, sometimes the flash and little bits like that - not a professional so sometimes instruction cards too).

While wanting a bag to carry my camera gear I wanted a bag to serve me in other was especially at this price point.
So it's currently doubling as a work bag. It fits the work 13" laptop no stress. It also fits my surface book 15" but with that hinge it's a touch tighter. I don't think I would try both laptops in the rear pocket together it feels too tight but you could easily place one into the main pocket if you were a person who needs two.
Because I like to travel lighter on the weekends plus I'm lazy I will often have a work bag large enough to fit my more weekend cross body bag so I have all the junk if my personal life in my work bag without any efforts. So my cross body fits in this awesome and the side access works really well.

I would suggest if you have a preference to swing and side access a particular way then the opposite side use the little lock tabs and lock the other side to slow down your ability to open everything onto the ground because you just threw things in the bag back rather than actually pack them.
I should stop rambling through this because there are other things too, the everything screams quality! I was not expecting the material to be as stiff and firm and structured. It is really structured so I feel like I need to wear the bag in. I don't have any problems with that but if you had hoped to maybe stuff this bag into a suitcase or something weird like that you won't be able to.
I love this bag and I'm so glad I purchased!

The best, but not perfect
on February 19, 2021
Posted by: Anonymous
Everyone pretty much summed up the pros and I agree with them all.
The only gripe I have with this otherwise perfect bag, is its weight.
Maybe I should have bought the 20L, but filling this bag will get you a heavy everyday load quickly.
Also - “pro tip” - think thoroughly about your daily carry, because this bag will help you organize your stuff in such a brilliant way that you will wind up with a lot of empty space - and I am a heavy loader.
Especially after I paired it with a tech pouch (and that product my friend - is imo PERFECT.)
So to sum up - think twice before getting the 30L, and this bag is an absolute MUST.
