So Many Uses. V2 (30L)
on February 21, 2023
Posted by: Jaz

So, I’m a pilot, and I use this bag for nothing photography related, but I’m obsessed with the organizational aspect of the Peak Design backpack. I can fit my headset, my books, my sentry, laptop, iPad, batteries, cables, badges, etc all in a very very organized location all without it looking like a bunch of garbage throw into a bag.
The Maglatch is my favorite thing ever, I use it all the time to access my books, while I use the side zippers to access the contents while my bag is on a table or in the aircraft.

Had a few loose threads upon arrival, but I just cut the loose ends off and I haven’t had any issues regarding integrity of sewn joints.
Iv had my students ask about this bag and tell me they were interested in it many times. I highly recommend to anybody.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Verified Purchase:Yes
Overly impressed with this bag, I wanted 'on the go' access without putting my bag down, something to travel with me everyday. I did my research on competitive products. the bag is higher priced than most but I received a high quality bag... I'd buy it again without a second thought. One of the best designed and made products I've purchased in a long while.

Coyote fabric terrible!
on May 30, 2025
Posted by: agm
Own 2 backpacks - 25L and recently purchased 30L. Bag is awesome and rating is solely for fabric. 1st bag in Charcoal and love it. 2nd bag purchased in Coyote. Nice looking at 1st glance but show everything. Any oils on hands leave stain on fabric. Would never buy this color again!
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Love the pack but the strap could have been better
on August 5, 2023

I genuinely wanted to love this backpack. It boasts remarkable organizational features, and accessing my camera gear is a breeze. However, the thin shoulder strap became a significant drawback for me. Once the bag is loaded, the lack of padding on the strap makes it highly uncomfortable. I regrettably had to switch to another brand because of this.
For reference, I typically carry:
- A 14" MacBook Pro
- A Nikon Z7ii with a Nikkor z 50mm f 1.8 lens
- A Nikkor z 35mm f 1.8 lens
- A Nikkor z 24-120mm f 4 lens
- An Anker power bank
- A battery charger
- A 14" MacBook Pro
- A Nikon Z7ii with a Nikkor z 50mm f 1.8 lens
- A Nikkor z 35mm f 1.8 lens
- A Nikkor z 24-120mm f 4 lens
- An Anker power bank
- A battery charger
I would gladly reconsider this backpack if a more padded shoulder strap is introduced in its next iteration.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

20L does NOT fit a 15" Macbook Pro

I bought this bag after watching video after video saying that it was able to store the 15" Macbook. The reality is that it does not even close with the computer in the bag.

The Traveling Photographer's Best Friend
on December 28, 2021
Posted by: William Anthony
from Haarlem, Netherlands
I was on assignment traveling throughout the EU this year. I made the mistake of taking my older, other brand backpack with me on the first few trips. I then invested and bought the Everyday Backpack V2. The difference in quality, design and ease-of-use was striking. I felt like I upgraded from a used Pontiac Aztek to a Porsche 911.
Peak Design thought of everything. So many things I flagged as problems from the previous bag were integrated as useful, intelligent solutions on the EDB. The external carry straps, quick-release top flap, magnetic should strap keepers. All of it. Traveling with a ton of gear went from a nightmare chore to actually kind of enjoyable.
Like my 6L Sling, I absolutely love this bag and evangelize for it wherever I go. I even ran into another photographer in Warsaw on my flight with the same backpack. We gave each other a satisfied look and confident nod. No words spoken, but we completely understood each other. Thanks for making this bag.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Peak design has thought of everything for this bag
on May 13, 2021
Posted by: Anonymous
The shelf system is totally ingenius and works with all different kinds of kit from DSLR to drone. As you change interests and kits the peak design backpack will change with you. All of the materials feel very high quality and will last a lifetime. My only complaint is the packets aren't very versatile and once the bag is loaded up only comfortably hold thin thinks like memory cards. It can be difficult to find a good spot for dust caps. My bag fully loaded weighs 18 pounds and it almost feels a little heavy for the straps, but that may be due to their stretchy design. Overall I reccomend this bag and all other PD products to any traveler or photographer.

Very Stylish and Excellent Build
on December 2, 2021
Posted by: Charlie
from Melbourne, Australia
I have been using my 30L backpack everyday for a few weeks and really enjoy it. I am not a photographer so I have found less use for the divider shelves but they are still useful to have incase I'm carrying anything soft I want to avoid crushing.
The build is exceptional good and I have received multiple compliments on the look and features.
My only issue is that it is quite heavy for a bag (even while empty) and not always very comfortable on the shoulders under heavy load.
The price is also very high but I believe it is worth it for the quality and features it offers.
I wouldn't recommend for a long hiking trip where a lot of weight is carried but for an everyday bag it works very well.
I would recommend this to a friend!
