I bought this to use as a camera bag and to hold basic items when I am out all day in NYC or when traveling. It’s a beautiful and sturdy bag that holds all of my essentials.
It took me a long time to adjust to the Everyday Backpack. I was trying to make it work like a traditional camera storage bag, with separate compartments for lenses, bodies, and accessories. But I began to use it more like a two strapped sling bag and kept my camera built with the lens attached and then it clicked for me. As such, I use it more for my personal outings when I'm bringing my Pentax 67, a lens, and some accessories and not so much for my full working kit of two digital bodies, multiple lenses, etc. I got the 20L to make sure I didn't overpack and it's worked out great so far. My biggest complaint is that the straps are not comfortable for long periods because the pack sits kind of low on my back, even when cinched up, and the weight feels like it's pulling me back as opposed to riding on my shoulders. Also, I think the zippers could be a little more robust and smoother to operate, but overall it works.
I’ve been using the Everyday Backpack 20L in Charcoal for a while now, and it has exceeded my expectations on every front. From design to utility, this backpack truly stands out.
Sleek Design The charcoal color gives it a modern, minimalist look that fits perfectly in both professional and casual settings. The materials feel premium, and the attention to detail in craftsmanship is evident.
Comfort & Practicality The padded straps and ergonomic design make it incredibly comfortable to wear, even for extended periods. The 20L size is perfect for my daily essentials, whether it’s for work, commuting, or a quick day trip. It’s compact yet surprisingly spacious!
Thoughtful Organization The compartmentalization is fantastic. Multiple pockets and dividers keep everything neat and easy to access. I particularly love the hidden pockets for added security and the laptop sleeve, which keeps my device snug and safe.
Durability This backpack is built to last. The weather-resistant fabric has held up great against rain and wear, and the zippers are smooth and sturdy.
Overall Verdict If you’re looking for a versatile, stylish, and functional everyday backpack, this one is worth every penny. It’s the perfect size for day-to-day use, and its quality ensures it will be a reliable companion for years to come. Highly recommended!
I’ve had the V1 30L for a number of years but it was a bit big for “everyday” use and I wanted something smaller. The V2 20L has well thought out updates and is the perfect side for carrying to work and brining my camera along. Been using it for a month, including a bit of travel and I couldn’t be happier with it.
