As a someone who's been living in NYC for a while, a good bag is an essential. I get quite a few compliments from people in shops (mostly clerks) about the 30L backpack, which is telling about the functionality and design. When I see other people with the same bag when I'm out and about, it's almost as if we can just give each other a look that says 'yeah, you got an awesome bag'. I've carried this thing all over the world, and it's even saved me one time when I completely tripped on black ice.
Me encantó el producto era más de lo que me esperaba solo quiero juntar un poco más de dinero para compararme los accesorios. Pero la recomiendo es fácil y práctica en todos los sentidos.
I received my v2 20L as a warranty replacement for my V1. PD customer service was excellent and the replacement process was painless
The V2 bag is still nice but it feels like more of a sidegrade when comparing features. I appreciated the nicer straps and slightly larger laptop and quick access pocket, but there are a couple things I much preferred on the V1:
- No more leather side handles and zipper pulls, or metal rivet accents. - top of bag is a lot firmer and rounded, creating a much different look hard to see in pictures. I much prefer the softer top of the v1. - the side zipper pockets used to open flat, now you have to prop them open with your hand or they will self close
Overall it is still an excellent bag, especially when used for camera gear. PD stands by their warranty with excellent service.
I have gone through many bags for a variety of use-cases. But Peak Design has now become my immediate go-to for all things camera related. The Everyday Backpack continues to impress me with how well thought out the pockets, dividers, dual-sized laptop compartment, and even the magnetic adjustable top closure, are. They even put tiny hold at the bottom of the side pockets to allow water to escape while out in the rain. All I can say is… impressive.
I recently bought this after having the V1 for years, and it’s crazy. They took everything good about the V1 and made it smoother, easier, faster, and better. They took everything that was a little clunky from the V1 and totally revamped and improved it, from the laptop pouch, to the way the key leash works. This is worth every penny.
