I love the bag. It holds everything I need. The only thing I wish it had was more inner pockets with zippers. For example, make the entire side panel two hidden zipper pockets! A lot of things fall out of the open pockets if I’m not constantly vertical. Otherwise, this is a great backpack for school, hiking, and photography.
I purchased this to replace my 20l bag i got a few years ago and my god it's the best thing I've purchased this year. Plenty of space for all my items i carry on day trips with my friends.
I purchased the 20L backpack primarily for airline travel. I typically pack an iPad, PD Tech Pouch (must have), headphones, sunglasses, wallet, keys, and AirPods. I find that they 20L is perfect for my needs - the laptop compartment is a tad snug but works.
I love the side compartment access and use it ALL the time. Magnetic closures, additional loops for fixing a jacket to the backside... they've thought of everything.
The material is top notch and I expect that this backpack will survive years of use with little signs of wear. My only gripe is that the blue material seems to really show dust/dirt. Ex. when passing it through the security scanner at the airport the backpack picks up and shows dust/dirt from the conveyor belt. Nevertheless I absolutely love this backpack.
The is the best backpack I could ever ask for. I am a businessman and a hobbyist photographer. I always carry my laptop and some electronic accessories but I also want to carry my camera because you never want to miss a good shot. This bag is the perfect solution.
I bought this for a recent trip and for work I’m so glad that I did. I did a ton of research and loved how you can customize it for you. It made traveling in the airport so easy. And I could easily access my camera whenever I needed it.
The backpack is a strong one. It is very useful for me when studying, changing between carrying various things using the different flexifold compartments, and knocking through to place books in the entire interior volume. It also worked wonderfully when I worked as a content producer in the past - carrying camera, lenses and that sort. Only annoyance is that the flexifold dividers gets rather ugly when worn a bit at the edges, with strings coming off the fabric (bit that doesn’t do anything to functionality).
I bought my Everyday Backpack V1 in 2017 (I'm writing this in 2022). The zipper broke about a month ago. Since I use this bag almost everyday for my camera gear I sent an email to get it fixed. They don't make/fix the V1 anymore so they just send me a new one. I can only recommend this bag for professional and amateur photographers and filmmakers. I'm proud to say that at least 3 of my friends bought this bag because of me :D. The service is so fast and stays amazing even after you bought a bag. The bag might be a bit expensive but the built quality, service and warranty absolutely make it worth the price!
