Great bag, but V2 has many problems
on December 2, 2021
Posted by: stevegos

I bought a V1 bag but after a problem it was replaced with a V2 bag. There have been several design changes from V1 to V2 - not all good!
The cons:
1. The side entry flaps on the V1 stayed open and made access very easy. V2 has less flexible flaps and they flop closed very easily and quickly, making access problematic.
2. Inside the access flaps on the V1 was one large zipped pocket with smaller pockets inside. These were excellent and and you could store so much stuff inside. On the V2, there is now 2 smaller pockets of less than half the size and you can not store as much nor as bigger items.
3. On the V1, there was a waist strap cleverly hidden inside the bag. I do a lot of hiking and this was used all the time. On the V2, this has been removed and you now have to spend $30+ more getting the same strap back again.
4. There are small magnets all over the bag which keep flaps and straps in place. This is a great until you go hiking in Iceland where the whole island is covered in iron ash and rock. You suddenly find the magnets covered in iron filings - not great for a camera bag!
5. The fabric is waterproof but the seams are not so if out in rain you can get water ingress around the seams.

Pros:
1. The laptop opening on the V2 has been made wider which makes getting a laptop in and out much easier. There is an odd tablet holder thing inside as well which just seems pointless.
2. The design is quite good and the straps tidy away nice and easy.
3. The internal dividers are well designed but take a bit of time to get them positioned correctly.

No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Great for Travel

I took the 20L on my last trip and it was the perfect personal carryon to go with my carryon suitcase. It made a great bag for lugging my camera everyday with room for a few lens, sunblock and snack.

Function and Form

I've owned Aer travel pack, trakke classic, and several other bags, but none really comes close to the overall feature set, performance, and aesthetics as Everyday bag has.
Modularity is important when you want a bag that you can hike, commute, or travel with. The straps on the bag allow you to carry voluminous objects easily, and the dividers help you stay organized in all sorts of ways. Side opening makes everything so easy to use.

Got this bag for everyday use and for my mirrorless camera system. The quality of the finish is fantastic and the bag looks great. It’s easy to customise and is comfortable to wear.

I got the backpack as a gift and it is truly for everyday use. The biggest plus is the resistance against the elements. I trust it to keep my camera, laptop and much more safe.

I received this backpack as a replacement for my 15” Everyday Messenger V1 which had a broken zipper and a strap that was wearing out. I was incredibly please by the service and the backpack!

Amazing bag

I recently bought a 30L everyday back pack. So much thought has gone into this bag and I love it. All the clever things that it does, the ease of access and laptop compartment were my favourites
I hope that one day you guys develop a version of this bag with wheels as a carry on. It would be the ultimate bag.
I would recommend this to a friend!
