Great bag
on December 5, 2020
Posted by: Anonymous
This is a great bag but in my opinion there are a couple of things missing. The straps that hold items to the outside of the bag and the chest strap are very stiff and awkward to use (I've only had the bag for two weeks so maybe they'll loosen up). The inside side pockets are too small to be useful and I preferred V1 where there was a zip. The top opening has 4 different sizes but the biggest two are hard to use because of how stiff the lid of the bag is (again I think this will loosen with time.) I really wish it came with a hip belt given I bought it for hiking but I know that's a personal preference and you can buy a separate one. It can be difficult to find a good place to put the Capture Clip on the shoulder straps if you are tall like me so I would try a bag on before buying it. If this bag was 35L I think it would be the perfect size for hiking (with 3 zoom lenses, 2 bodies and hiking equipment). It only comes with 2 dividers but they are both the type with a shelf. It's a pretty awesome bag but not quite perfect for me.

Excellent quality that may be the bag you're looking for.

Unlike many who buy this bag I'm not a photographer. I'm a student and that what I use it for.
Pros: very organized, the top mag latch is perfect for a quick access pocket, very well designed, very protective.
Cons: laptop compartment is tight if used for a laptop and tablet, quick access pocket in the laptop compartment is kind of useless with a laptop and tablet in it.

Great bag! (20 liter model)

This is truly a great everyday bag. It is customizable, looks sharp, and holds all my every day camera gear. It is sturdy enough to hike with, and looks good enough to have through town. The issues that I see are in the zipper system. The tops of the zipper seem to be folding up a little already. (had it about a month) I'm also not a huge fan of the chest strap. It's just a little difficult to use when you're taking the bag on and off. I look forward to using this bag for a long time, but I DEFINETELY would not pay full price for this bag, it's just too expensive.

One of the most well-thought-out bags I've ever used.

I've been writing bag reviews and content for a while. In that time I've always wanted an Everyday Backpack. When my daughter was born, I had an excuse to get one. The hype is totally justified. The Everyday Backpack is one of the most feature-rich and well-thought-out bags I've ever used, and I've used at least forty bags in the last two years. For my use case, it's fantastic. Having multiple access points is stellar, multiple handles to grab it from is very convenient, and the aesthetics of it can take you anywhere from offices and restaurants to forests and beaches. Pocketing is clever and placed perfectly, isolated laptop compartment is stellar, magnets to keep shoulder straps in place is inspired, and so much more. Honestly, the only downside is that the shell doesn't have a ton of give, which is a minuscule downside, but it's understandable because it protects what's inside and keeps its shape whether full or empty. If you're on the fence about it, do it.

This is a beautiful bag, it's brilliantly an intelligently made. It looks great, is practical, and the perfect size. It works on long trips and is yet small and light enough for everyday carry. Typically I carry my 16' Macbook pro, 11' iPad Pro with magic keyboard, and all my camera gear and lenses. But here is the one downside. My camera is small - a Canon M50 - and when it's in the bag ready for side access its bouncing around. Realistically it's safe, as are the lenses, but it worries me a bit, I'm afraid that when I open it, this camera, that has been rattling around, will fall out.
My solution has been to use the 3L sling in the top for the camera and my most often used lenses. This keeps them safe. Moreover, when I'm travelling I can leave the 30L in the hotel and pop out with just the 3L. It's perfect! So it's two bags in one. One for heavy carry with everything (and I mean everything, I bring my podcast mic and Focusrite solo, all my tech etc) and then the 3 L sling in the top for when I'm travelling light.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Love my 20l backpack (in black). -1 star for strap webbing that dangles when pulled taut - I wish the bag came with some sort of clip system to hold the webbing in place after adjustment. Otherwise a near-perfect experience!

Have never found a bag so well designed. I really love it. It swallows up a ton of stuff. I plan to use this as my day bag so I can carry my daily work stuff but keep my camera (5d Mkiii) and an extra lens and some equipment with me as well. I think my only suggestion would be that some maybe like zipper mesh or something would be nice on the side openings internally to keep stuff from falling out when opening them if you don’t have things packed tightly, but it’s not a very big deal. The bag is great.
I would recommend this to a friend!
