Great backpack for a very specific use
on March 23, 2020
Posted by: Anonymous
Overall, the backpack lives up to the online consensus that it is great for photography and carrying the equipment entailed. However, outside of that use, the bag does fall short.
Pros:
- beautiful aesthetic
- well thought out function, love the magnetic clasp
- dividers work really well for holding camera gear

Cons:
- Exterior material, though rugged and durable, does feel cheap in a sense
- No space to hold any documents except in limited laptop pocket
- Overall rigid structure makes bag somewhat unwieldy (specifically the 30L)

Overall if you have a lot of photography gear to carry, and the cash to spend on a photography specific backpack, this backpack will do you good. As an everyday carry, I think it falls short.

Everything you need and more
on October 30, 2020

This bag is incredible and still after a month of having it I'm still finding hidden pockets and everything! Being able to comfortably carry a 15.6 inch laptop, mirrorless a6400 with zoom lens, tripod and ipad with it's own carry case and lots more, it's truly amazing how much stuff I can fit in this bag without it feeling like i'm cramming stuff in. The other surprise was, despite the back feeling heavy with all my gear in it, it's surprisingly comfortable and the weight is very evenly distributed through the straps.
If you're on the fence because of the price, don't worry I was the same, but i took the plunge and didn't regret it.
Highly Recommended

The best bag out there just got better!
on January 3, 2020

I used my everyday backpack version 1 almost everyday for 3 years. It still looks and functions as if it's new and I have absolutely loved using it. When I saw the release of version 2 I immediately purchased the navy blue color. The new version fixed every little thing that annoyed my on the first version. The laptop compartment is more roomy, the straps are more comfortable, the organization on the side flaps is way better for easy access. I've been using my version 2 for a while now and I can easily say that it has been the best experience I have ever had with a bag. The version 1 was already the best bag I'd ever used and now it's even better!

Simply superb, without equal

After careful research, I purchased an Everyday Backpack in 2018. Most expensive backpack I ever bought. I was frustrated by all previous ones in many respects: not waterproof, hard to access areas, either insufficient protection for laptop or unusable to do groceries, and so on.
The Everyday Backpack was my trusty backpack for ~4 years, *every day*. Countless grocery store hauls. Travel to conferences for work. Personal travel. Beloved.
Hence I also got my partner one.
Then the top zipper gave up.
Peak Design sent me a whole new (v2!) backpack!
They made true on their incredible customer service. I am now a loyal customer, because they do actually keep their promises!

Amazing Laptop Bag for Everyday Work Use
on February 3, 2021
Posted by: Jason C
I spent over six months reviewing a multitude of laptop bags and each I was unable find a bag that suited my needs. With previous bags I was often finding I would have to pull most contents before being able to find the cable I required. This was until I found the 30L Everyday Backpack paired up with the Tech Pouch which allow me to keep that backpack organised with ease. The flex fold dividers allow this bag to be extremely adaptable for any use. Extremely happy with the quality of the bag and responsiveness of Peak Design when I have had question. I have been using laptop bags for the past 20 Years and hands down this is the best bag I have ever owned.

Just...wow

I'm a total backpack snob. For years I've been plagued by bags with giant compartments and no organization. This bag checks so many boxes for me. the team at PD are great. The bag is made with fantastic quality. the storage organization is fantastic, modular, and ingenious. I can hold a tremendous amount of gear for the size of this bag, and the most important part is I can find it all quickly when I need it. Gone are the days of digging through my backpack looking for that one tiny thing that's bouncing around in the compartment. Love this bag, will keep it until it dies and buy a new one, but I don't think that's going to happen anytime soon.

Verified Purchase:Yes
This bag is well crafted and clever--but ultimately not a camera bag. The origami dividers, which are perfect in top-loaders like the Sling, leave the equipment rattling around in the backpack no matter how carefully they're configured. I also can't get over the strange placement of metal zippers on the interior of the side flaps right where the camera display or lens would sit. It's ultimately not really a camera bag, even if it would be a great bag for other purposes. I ended up sending it back.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Verified Purchase:Yes
This bag has almost everything I need for my everyday bag. The only things missing are a good place on the shoulder strap to place my capture clip and wide magnet on the magnetic closure pockets to help create a better seal when filled.
I would recommend this to a friend!
