when i was looking for a new backpack years ago I was looking for something long lasting with great pratical features. There was no way for me to get around this bar after seeing it's product video with all the amazing thoughts and details that went into this product. Using it to this day almost daily and for everything. Be it groceries, transportation of my equipment to work, tavel, trips, visits whatever I can count on my back whenever and wherever and no matter the weather (snowboard trips, rain sessions, hot climates - all no problem). Love the side access, anti thieving security stripes, all the hidden straps and little pockets, water resistance, durability, magnetic seal, the ease to adjust it and make it either loose or firm, and all the little thoughts that went into this like the little holes on the side pockets to avoid collecting water.
Overall the bag is well made and the material seems hardy. I was a underwhelmed by the capacity of the bag and the partitions, while maybe good for camera equipment are less than ideal for everyday back pack use. Once I had my tech pouch and dop kit in there was little room for anything else. I could barely fit my light weight jacket in the top even with maximal expansion. Also with the central pocket full it made it hard to get the lap top in and out. I love the other products I have tried but this one didn’t hit the mark for me.
After using this bag, there’s been no going back. It is my go to bag for every trip I take take local and international. Quality of the bag has made me a peak design freak. Warning, once you go to this brand, you will buy other products from them.
Found it in thrift shop few years ago. Now its my best buddy on trips. Its amazing bag, i woud never aford second one but mine is amazing and will serve me many more years cuz its so sturdy.
Been using this backpack for over 10 years now and it is still in really, really good shape. Nothing out there can beat it in terms of good design. Best backpack I ever had.
Best backpack I’ve ever purchased. I especially love the ocean color. The only thing I’m sad about it some of the anodized aluminum is already showing scratches after just a few weeks. But overall super impressed with the bag.looking forward to buying more.
Still my favorite, have been using everyday backpack V1 20L And switched to Zip 15L, then Zip 20L. Now that's worn out it's time for V2 20L, the black on black instead of ash is very cool and dirt free.
I kind of like Zip's shape more but in terms of expandable space, everyday backpack is better.
Even though I’m not a photographer, I bought this backpack because I was intrigued by the idea of customising the inside and the quality. I needed a new backpack for my 16-inch MacBook Pro for an everyday city carry. This backpack works perfectly for me, and even though it’s just a 20-litre version, it can safely hold my 16-inch MacBook Pro. However, it’s not the most comfortable backpack. The main issue is that it doesn’t have an adjustable frame or height adjustibale back straps. I’m 175 cm tall, and I definitely feel this lack of adjustability. For me, the backpack should sit a bit lower which means my shoulders have to carry most of the weight. For this reason, as a hiker, I wouldn’t take this backpack even for a short hike. It’s a shame that a waist belt isn’t included. But since there’s no frame adjustability, the waist belt would most likely be wasted on me, because for my body shape, it would be way too high.
