The best I ever owned

Not much to say to be perfectly honest, this is just the best backpack I have ever owned from every perspective, quality, utility, and the style. Simply the best that I can imagine and I am over the moon to own it’s!
Even after a month of getting acquainted with the V2 version of his backpack, I still miss my V1. Accessing the top pocket as easier over the shoulder. The side pockets are less useful, and I can't store as much in them. The hidden pocket on the lip of the main opening is smaller than it used to be, for what seems like no reason.
All that being said, it's still a good backpack, and if the v1 isn't being sold anymore it's a pretty decent second place.
I hope that, in addition to fixing everything I mentioned, the v3 backpack includes the side pockets built into the water bottle holders the way that the Travel Bag does. Those are so convenient, I'd be able to stop having to use the top pocket.
One of the best backpacks I've ever used. I had V1 and loved it and V2 make nice improvements on it. I especially love the wider opening for the laptop making access even easier. And the new zippers feel smoother than before. This backpack is simply amazing
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....
I had a V1, but the straps started squeaking. Peak design offered to replace it with a V2. I’m very happy with it and even happier with the customer service! I wish it had a fess more smaller pockets like the right “wing” of the V1 but I can’t complain!
I read multiple reviews before i purchased this, it's not cheap and not very everyone but it's well worth it. They've thought of everything and even things you didn't think you'd need have been included to make for a worthy experience. For the price i hope it's durable and long lasting.
I eventually returned my EDB v2. It was catching onto my wooly bouses and t-shirts almost like velcro. Also, the 20l version barely fit Dell XPS 15 and it wasn't easy to take the laptop out through narrow top access. I liked the spacious side access and shelves, though.
