Love This Bag - SO Versatile!!

I purchased this bag because it is so versatile. I use it as a work bag and it can easily switch to a camera pack if I decide to go on a hike and take my camera and a few lens. Fits my big 70 - 200mm Canon lens. I was a little nervous about the light beige color collecting dirt, but overall, the fabric seems to resist dirt! Very, very pleased. I have several PeakDesign products and this one lives up to quality and feel I expected.
I have tried out different backpacks before. But quality of the totepack has exceeded my expectation. It's durable and water resistant which is good for every day carry. You can easily access your stuff from top and both sides. I love those fold divider! They allow you to arrange your item based on the size and shape. This bag is perfect for anyone looking for a stylish and functional bag for everyday carry
First of, I bought this bag from Peak and had to cancel the order because it was in back order but the system didn't show that it was back ordered. Then I got it from a Peak design authorized dealer and got it on time for a trip to Madrid. This bag is comfortable, light, and spacious. And also it is safe for my photo gear. Now, the issue that I have with it is that the front pocket zipper isn't easy to close. The main reason being that the front part of the bag where the zipper is sitting gets a little wrinkle and you don't have hot to stretch the bag back to be stretch so you can close the zipper. So, if you were going to carry small stuff there like your glasses, your wallet, batteries etc... it is not practical, you can't do it with one hand, etc... so as a everyday carry... I don't recommend it.
I really like this bag accept if I modified the dividers from vertical to horizontal thus the bottom space almost unusable due to the zipper limitation.
Perfect for an everyday carry/commute, but with limited space

This bag replaced my Tenba DNA 15 Limited Edition Slim messenger bar as my everyday carry. For reference, I use this bag to carry a laptop for everyday office work, as well as an assortment of cables and audio/music gear for my work as a freelance musician. I've been using the bag for three weeks now, and highly recommend it to anyone with medium to light carry needs.
- The included divider is excellent and can be attached horizontally or vertically. I use it horizontally in order to create an "easy access" type of upper space in the bag.
- The straps look thin, but are actually very comfortable.
- Although Peak lists this as 20L, it feels smaller than 20L because of the way the side zippers close down the bag. This is a good thing, as you'll never have bulges or bulk, but I imagine the Everyday Zip is the right move for those who like a less densely packed everyday carry.
- The included carry straps are useful for carrying a jacket or sweater, but I actually find the loop attachment points more useful for carabiners. I use breakaway magnet carabiners to quickly attach keys, a water bottle, and even sometimes the Peak Design Tech or Wash pouch, depending on my needs.
- The magnet holding the tote straps together is a bit weak; don't expect the straps to stay closed during carry. However, the straps themselves are quite solid.
