Got this bag for Christmas and just used it on our trip to Disney World. It is absolutely amazing! It carried all of my gear (camera body, 5 lenses, filters and an accesory bag) and was never too heavy. The weight is distributed perfectly and it's easy to access all of the compartments. I have several PD products and they're all spectacular.
I am loving this bag not only is it comfortable compact and functional. But it has the unique feature of being the sexiest bag anybody has carried in my company ever. I get so many compliments... I feel like a celebrity when I wear this.
I have been looking at this backpack for a month and read all the reviews and watched the video. I wanted to be sure it the one and only backpack I need for my photography equipment and my trips. When I got it, I couldn't take my hands of it. It is really high quality material with lots of ingenious features. It is very comfortable to wear even when it full and very heavy. I can fit in it tons of things! I love it!
What makes this the best bag? It's simple really. Use of magnets for hidden pockets, customisable interior layout, flawless fit for a thin 15.6in laptop & most importantly, accessible from both sides and top to everything inside. Peak Design really stay true to the name.
The everyday backpack is more than any backpack I've ever owned. It is fully modular to fit the needs of every individual. It is thoughtfully constructed with plenty of hidden gems that I continue to find in videos or just exploring the bag. I carry this bag every day and will continue to do so until the day I die. My one criticism would be about the chest strap. It is difficult to get out of its "short term" storage solution and doesn't stay well in the "long term" storage. This is a great bag for any one due to it's flexibility and modularity. I LOVE THIS BAG.
I got a 30L V1 last year. I like modular compartments, can change the configuration based on the gear you are carrying. very intelligently designed pockets hold lot of smaller gear. Build quality is very good. although shoulder straps would have been more padded. The only complaint i have with V1 bag is, its weight.
