amazing backpack, few things I'd tweak are:

1) the adjustment straps are just dangling from the bag
2) the magnets keeping the shoulder straps attached to the pack when not wearing had come out of their socket and are freely moving under the fabric
3) a little front heavy, it can't stay upright and falls over even when placing it against something heavy.
That's kind of it, either way it's been great so far.

Great overall, with a few small problems

This is a great backpack. The shelf system and the side access is the biggest plus. You can totally stuff your backpack and still access everything in a way that would be almost impossible with a normal backpack. Also, the design is durable and high quality. Plus, the external carry straps and the loops they attach to are very useful. Great to have the option for a little more carrying capacity.
My small complaints are:
The water bottle pockets are a bit tight. I think just a little more stretch in the elastic would make things a lot easier.
A quick-access pocket on the outside of the backpack would be really nice. The pocket in the laptop compartment might serve that purpose, but for me, it's a bit tight to reach in there quickly, especially when the backpack is fully loaded.
The external carry straps are a great feature, but the way they attach to the backpack is a little cumbersome. They are very low profile and I think that's the idea, but it's difficult to get them on and off the loops.
The straps could be more comfortable. I have the 20L, so it never gets too heavy, but a little more padding on the straps would be nice. Also, there should be some dedicated spots on the strap to attach a Capture Clip. I found myself experimenting a bit and I ended up having to cover one of the spots to place the sternum strap (the lowest rung).
The zipper pockets on the side panels are too small. It's hard to reach in there when anything with some width is in the small internal pockets.
I would prefer the laptop compartment to be a little roomier. With a laptop and tablet in their, it gets a little tight.

Best backpack i've ever had!

Bought it about a month ago. Use this one for everyday carry and for travelling. Looks great! Only problem is there's no security for the laptop section, which can be easily accessed. Yeah, there's a velcro sleeve inside and it takes some time to take out the laptop. But still there's not even a way to lock the laptop section zipper
Great backpack tho

Amazing Backpack!

I got my backpack a month or so ago and I've used it ever since. I got the Everyday Backpack V2 20L and it perfectly holds my MacBook Pro 16" with a hardshell case on! I was worried I'd have to take the case off but it works perfectly for what I need. It also neatly fits the rest of my everyday carry as well.
I like the dividers and how you can customize them to your needs. It allows me to decide if I need extra space or to compartmentalize things.

Great Backpack, black color = magnet for dust/dirt

I have the black 30 l version and I am very happy overall. It looks and feels amazing. I appreciated the vegan option, however I am not sure if I would make the same choice again. It looks super cool, however you will have to wipe the exterior of the backpack quite often since it catches dust and dirt whenever it leans against the wall or other surfaces.

Looks great, great features

I bought this for a work trip and it was very helpful on the plane with the side access and pockets. It also looks very slick and the rigidity makes it comfortable to carry and protects contents. Downside is that it is a bit expensive and heavy. The laptop and tablet access is a good feature and it would be nice if it was even bigger to allow for more notebook sized items. I had to remove the sectional dividers from the main cavity so that I could fit in my magazines and books and notebooks.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Amazing Look

I picked this up almost a year ago and I still really like the bag. For short trips or quick travel to and from work it is great. As a teacher I do wish it had one or two more small compartments that were easily accessible from the top pocket. Otherwise I love it.
I would recommend this to a friend!
