I have used by Everyday Backpack for tech, camera, and EDC use for the last 2 years and I have not had a issue with it at all. It comes with me when I travel. The fact that it works with all of my other luggage helps more that words can express. At any given time I have 2 cameras (A7C and Pocket3) as well as. 14 inch macbook pro, ipad air 5, headphones, and other notesbooks, cards, and equipment. Holds it all without fail.
I was not aware how just having a side access changed the way I take photos. Sometimes I am unsure of opening my bag in London to take my camera out. Bit more confident now.
I love the design of the Everyday Backpack. It's lean and clean and does not look oversized on women while still fitting a 16-inch Macbook Pro. The quality is exactly as you expect it to be for a Peak Design product, and I've been using it for 5 years now and never had any issues.
So there are two sizes, I watched the video and was like I know what size I want...wrong! The 30L arrived and I was like that's the size of my torso and some. The return process was amazing and soon enough I had the 20l in my possession!
So after my little misstep the 20 lire is amazing. So I purchased to have a camera bag/backpack. I have a sling over the shoulder but it I'm walking around a little just taking amateur photos it's gets heavy but I will still keep my side slingbag for the purpose but if I plan on walking a little or going overseas I wanted something a bit more travel friendly. I didn't want a bag that screamed camera bag, mainly for personal safety and totally want to underplay what's in there. This bag achieves that. (The camera gear I have is a mirrorless camera plus a couple of prime lenses and a tele, sometimes the tripod comes, sometimes the flash and little bits like that - not a professional so sometimes instruction cards too).
While wanting a bag to carry my camera gear I wanted a bag to serve me in other was especially at this price point. So it's currently doubling as a work bag. It fits the work 13" laptop no stress. It also fits my surface book 15" but with that hinge it's a touch tighter. I don't think I would try both laptops in the rear pocket together it feels too tight but you could easily place one into the main pocket if you were a person who needs two. Because I like to travel lighter on the weekends plus I'm lazy I will often have a work bag large enough to fit my more weekend cross body bag so I have all the junk if my personal life in my work bag without any efforts. So my cross body fits in this awesome and the side access works really well.
I would suggest if you have a preference to swing and side access a particular way then the opposite side use the little lock tabs and lock the other side to slow down your ability to open everything onto the ground because you just threw things in the bag back rather than actually pack them.
I should stop rambling through this because there are other things too, the everything screams quality! I was not expecting the material to be as stiff and firm and structured. It is really structured so I feel like I need to wear the bag in. I don't have any problems with that but if you had hoped to maybe stuff this bag into a suitcase or something weird like that you won't be able to. I love this bag and I'm so glad I purchased!
I iwn twi of those, one for my camera setup, the other one as a diaper bag for my daughter. Need I say more? PS: Peak Design team, please design a way to properly mount that bag to a stroller ;)
I got this backpack from official website half a month ago. This is my fourth PD product. I like the convenience that PD brings to me. This year I will take my camera and PD series of products to take a lot of beautiful photos.
I’ve been using this bag for my gig needs, I’m a drummer and Percussionist but it can also work for Singers, guitar players or anybody who brings a backpack to every show. I usually bring my water bottle, Pandeiro, shakers, güito, percussion toys and other essentials. Also check out their other gear. Good quality + Life Warranty. I made a Review Video on my YouTube Channel.
