I bought this bag two weeks ago to become my everyday carry and camera bag while on the road. So far, I'm thoroughly pleased with it, and honestly, I'm still learning all the pockets and features. The magnetic straps and pockets are my favorite feature.
I love this backpack for its versatility and the high quality of the build materials. There are almost too many configurations for how it can be used, which is a good problem to have (unless you suffer from analysis paralysis). One of the best features is the lifetime warranty, which I took advantage of in upgrading from the V1 Everyday Backpack. One nitpick I have is that the top rear pocket, in the laptop compartment, gets a little tough to slide my hand into if the main compartment is particularly full. That's a minor issue, though, and I love this backpack, and would enthusiastically recommend it to anyone.
I originally had the V1, which was replaced under warranty after 4 years after part of a zipper broke. The new bag is just a really solid improvement on the original. Better straps and better interior flaps in particular
A friend if mine told me to look into PD when I had mentioned that I was shopping for backpacks. She told me that she suspected I would really like PD products because of the detail and function. I hadn't heard of the brand before, so i started browsing online. I liked what I saw, but it was only after I found the Everyday backpack in a retail store, and got to see/touch/play/experience it in person, and it was then I realized I had to go for it. The things that I didn't see while browsing online were the small details: Magnet closures on pockets and for the straps, hidden pockets in areas I didn't see online, the keychain/device strap, and just the overall quality of construction—incredible.
I now also have: Tech pouch, Wash pouch, Shoe pouch, and iPhone case + wallet—all of equal quality. I'm obviously becoming a real live fanboy. ;)
Great for uni students, work, travel, small Fujifilm owners, mirrorless or even dslrs! I can fit my waterbottle, lunchbox, Fujifilm camera, gym bag, laptop, iPad, and more! I couldn’t fit all that in my previous Samsonite bag.
I have this backpack for almost 5 years and use it every day and It is still as good as new. The durability and thoughtfulness of this backpack is amazing. Build to last. I travel a lot and really appreciate the document compartments. The click of that metal magnetic lock is so satisfying. So glad I found this backpack.
