Blown Away - This Bag is Amazing
on October 7, 2021

I bought this bag last week just before traveling to Moab to shoot. For the price, I was expecting it to be comfortable, functional and able to accommodate all of my gear - and it satisfied all those expectations 100%. What blew my mind was its durability and toughness. Part of our trip included some mud. The red mud in Moab stains everything. It ruined everything I was wearing and it's even hard to get off your skin. Needless to say, my bag was covered in it. To make things worse, I let it dry on the bag and waited 4 days before washing it. When I got home, I threw it in the bathtub, sprayed it down and scrubbed it with a soft brush. I was amazed. Completely spotless and still dry inside! Way to go Peak Design, amazing product.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Attention to the Details
on December 29, 2021

The magnetic latch (and magnet pockets and shoulder straps) and the origami dividers are what makes this bag for me. The fact that I have the option to either have a ton of different sections or a completely wide open space, is amazing. What a versatile bag. The other thing I really appreciate about this bag (and this company), is the attention to detail. This is a bag, yes..but it's also a piece of art! Ever since I received the everyday backpack as a Christmas gift last year, I have bought 3 more peak design bags. Definitely a lifelong customer!
I got this backpack for my last year of high school and soon will take it to college. The biggest thing is that it definitely draws a lot of attention so keep that in mind. It is very sturdy so I am not afraid that it will get damaged. The mag latch is very easy to use after a day of use but other people can’t seem to figure out how to open it first try which will prevent anyone from stealing stuff. There is a perfect amount of pockets and everything is designed great.
I would recommend this to a friend!

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

Great backpack for a very specific use
on March 23, 2020
Posted by: Anonymous
Overall, the backpack lives up to the online consensus that it is great for photography and carrying the equipment entailed. However, outside of that use, the bag does fall short.
Pros: - beautiful aesthetic - well thought out function, love the magnetic clasp - dividers work really well for holding camera gear
Cons: - Exterior material, though rugged and durable, does feel cheap in a sense - No space to hold any documents except in limited laptop pocket - Overall rigid structure makes bag somewhat unwieldy (specifically the 30L)
Overall if you have a lot of photography gear to carry, and the cash to spend on a photography specific backpack, this backpack will do you good. As an everyday carry, I think it falls short.

Everything you need and more
on October 30, 2020

This bag is incredible and still after a month of having it I'm still finding hidden pockets and everything! Being able to comfortably carry a 15.6 inch laptop, mirrorless a6400 with zoom lens, tripod and ipad with it's own carry case and lots more, it's truly amazing how much stuff I can fit in this bag without it feeling like i'm cramming stuff in. The other surprise was, despite the back feeling heavy with all my gear in it, it's surprisingly comfortable and the weight is very evenly distributed through the straps.
If you're on the fence because of the price, don't worry I was the same, but i took the plunge and didn't regret it.
Highly Recommended

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!

The best bag out there just got better!
on January 3, 2020
Posted by: Joshua D
I used my everyday backpack version 1 almost everyday for 3 years. It still looks and functions as if it's new and I have absolutely loved using it. When I saw the release of version 2 I immediately purchased the navy blue color. The new version fixed every little thing that annoyed my on the first version. The laptop compartment is more roomy, the straps are more comfortable, the organization on the side flaps is way better for easy access. I've been using my version 2 for a while now and I can easily say that it has been the best experience I have ever had with a bag. The version 1 was already the best bag I'd ever used and now it's even better!
