Everyday 30L Backpack
on March 3, 2024
Posted by: KT
from Singapore
Had the initial crowd-funding everyday backpack 30L Charcoal. The first batch material was great except for the back mesh material that worn and torn after some use. Got PD to look into that matter and PD sent me a replacement version 2 but the shoulder strap torn barely attached to the rest of the bag, and the internal storage pockets reduced. The external bag designs can bet better and more unique (future proofing)
I would recommend this to a friend!

Great bag with one issue with the material.

I have been using this as an everyday backpack to office and its been a great fit for me. One thing that could have worked better for me is if had an option to add the sternum strap a little lower. Right now it sits high on the chest. Another major concern is the scuff marks it picks up after everyday use.

Great camera backpack!

I’ve been eyeing this backpack for a while and finally bought one, in coyote. I love all the organizations that this bag offers, tried it for a hike even!
I knocked off one star because of two things:
1. The laptop compartment is SO TIGHT! Way too tight, I’m barely able to stick an iPad Pro with keyboard case and nothing else.
2. The side pockets are also SO TIGHT!! I had to struggle to stick an 18-oz water bottle in there.

Verified Purchase:Yes
I got this backpack for my last year of high school and soon will take it to college. The biggest thing is that it definitely draws a lot of attention so keep that in mind. It is very sturdy so I am not afraid that it will get damaged. The mag latch is very easy to use after a day of use but other people can’t seem to figure out how to open it first try which will prevent anyone from stealing stuff. There is a perfect amount of pockets and everything is designed great.

Blown Away - This Bag is Amazing
on October 7, 2021
Posted by: InJustWeTrust
from Asheville, NC
I bought this bag last week just before traveling to Moab to shoot. For the price, I was expecting it to be comfortable, functional and able to accommodate all of my gear - and it satisfied all those expectations 100%. What blew my mind was its durability and toughness. Part of our trip included some mud. The red mud in Moab stains everything. It ruined everything I was wearing and it's even hard to get off your skin. Needless to say, my bag was covered in it. To make things worse, I let it dry on the bag and waited 4 days before washing it. When I got home, I threw it in the bathtub, sprayed it down and scrubbed it with a soft brush. I was amazed. Completely spotless and still dry inside! Way to go Peak Design, amazing product.

Attention to the Details
on December 29, 2021
Posted by: JAYLOR
from Panama City Beach, FL
The magnetic latch (and magnet pockets and shoulder straps) and the origami dividers are what makes this bag for me. The fact that I have the option to either have a ton of different sections or a completely wide open space, is amazing. What a versatile bag. The other thing I really appreciate about this bag (and this company), is the attention to detail. This is a bag, yes..but it's also a piece of art! Ever since I received the everyday backpack as a Christmas gift last year, I have bought 3 more peak design bags. Definitely a lifelong customer!

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

One of the best but could be better...

The bag is very smartly designed like most PD products, very intuitive to use and the materials are top notch. The issue that I had however was with the material being used in the back of the backpack, when you put a lot of weight like when you are carrying a lot of your camera gear, etc the material is coarse so it will mess up/ruin your shirt depending on what you have on. Before I noticed how the material was really pilling the shirt material because of the high friction, I ruined two nice shirts I wore when carrying the backpack, now I know better but still....
