I purchased a 3L Everyday Sling as my day bag for a recent trip to Italy. I was looking for something compact, durable and camera-friendly. And the EDS delivered!
I used this bag every single day for over two weeks, hauling it around cities and the countryside, from walks to biking to train rides. It was perfect for carrying the essentials, including a few camera batteries, a spare SD card, my wallet, a mask or two, a small journal, ear buds or AirPods, tickets, and even a stuffable jacket. I carried my Canon RP (with a 24-240 lens) on the outside with a Capture clip attached to one of the mounting points. This configuration was secure and easy to carry, but still let me get into the bag or grab my camera as needed.
Being able to pull the zippers through the loop to reduce easy opening reduced my worries about pickpockets on the subway in Rome, and I never felt like my camera was at risk from theft or accident. I got caught in a thunderstorm and the bag stayed nice and dry on the inside. No significant dirt or wear, even after some intense biking in Tuscany.
My only compliant is the positioning of the Capture clip on the attachment point. Depending on how you've set it up, you might find that it makes getting the zipper on the main pouch open all the way on the side the Capture is attached to. This was never a hug problem, just annoying once or twice.
If you're looking for a small bag that can carry a decent amount of stuff, hold up to the elements, and haul you camera gear, the EDS is worth taking a look at.
I’ve had this for a couple of months now and I absolutely love it! I have the 3 litre Sling as my camera is a tiny compact digital and there is plenty of room for other things, such as my wallet, phone, car keys, etc. The quality is top notch. I love that I can adjust the length of the strap so quickly and easily. The straps for attaching other things (such as a tripod) to the bottom of the Sling is also very handy.
Bought the 6L Everyday Sling and it’s perfect for my everyday, essential carry needs. It comfortably fits my Nikon z6ii, Speedlite, Manfrotto PIXI mini tripod, memory cards and batteries. No more. No less. Quality is as you’d expect from Peak Design. Stellar!
I got this bag around March, 6L version. I've been using it to carry my Fujifilm X-T4, 16-55mm F2.8 and 70-300mm along with a solid aluminum tripod. I take it regularly to Mexico for documentary work in tough conditions outdoors (120+ degrees, cactus and dense scrub-forest, only dirt roads for hours). I just returned from a couple weeks taking the bag all over Europe for a different media project. Hands down an incredible, durable bag made to the highest standards. I can't wait to grab a Peak Design backpack.
I bought this 2 years back and have never been happier! Love the sideways sling carry. The strap is also padded as compared to V1 so that reduces fatigue and soreness. Also love how big the front compartment is!
I bought this almost a year ago and it's so durable. I use it camping or hiking and the adjustable straps are life changer. I also use it when I go out about my day. It fits everything I need and then some!
I've been looking for a bag like this for years. All the little "extra" features, like the quick length adjustment for the straps and the security of the zippers and the quality of the internal dividers may not seem like big deals when you see them listed but they make this bag so easy to use. I would not change a single thing about this bag, which I can't say about any other equipment I own. The weight distribution when carrying the bag is outstanding--I almost forget I have it on. Kudos to the R&D team.
