Great bag and excellent service

I have the 20L bag, and it is perfect for a Z8, a few lenses, and a speedlight. Being very water-resistant is a plus, and it can take a lot of extra soft-goods in the top with no problem.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Solid but still room for improvement...
on April 18, 2024

I've used both the original 20L, and this Gen2 30L extensively over the last 4-7 years. While there's plenty I appreciate about each generation, I still feel like PD needs to combine some of the features from each, and improve other things into a better 3rd generation Everyday pack.
From the Original, please bring back the tan/camel color fabric interior. It looks so much nicer and felt more premium. Also, the divider sleeve for the laptop/tablet was much nicer than the flimsy piece of fabric now used in the Gen2. I also really preferred the metal grommet reinforcement with short, perpendicular bartacks on the top strap instead of just the weird straight long lines of bar-tacking that go lengthwise.

On Gen2, I prefer the cleaner design with less stitching on the outside of the pack, but that might be about it. Moving the laptop compartment zipper to the other side of the handle is fine, but the squared shoulders on it don't look as cool, and the compartment is still hard to get a computer in/out of when the rest of the pack has stuff in it.
Needed improvements on both Gens - while the latch is handy, the big metal tab gets scuffed up easily, and the way it 'hooks' out at the bottom then scratches anything you lean it up against (camper van cabinets, etc.). I also wish the top had a better way to close up or seal. Elastic or a slim drawcord might be nice. Windblown sand and dust get into the main compartment too easily.
Overall, when the packs are fully loaded, it becomes really hard to get anything in or out. There needs to be more space in the laptop sleeve, and accommodation for the top pocket in there. The whole pack tends to sag down, and then cameras or lenses in the bottom take too much effort to get out of back in.
While I like the matte, all-black look of the packs, I've never loved PD's exterior fabric. It scuffs and holds onto marks and dirt really easily. It's also heavy. I also prefer the nice, doubled over spandex side pockets on some Evergoods packs to the thick, harder to get into versions on these.
Despite being relatively thin and narrow, the should straps are still quite comfortable. I do wish they had an anti-microbial treatment to keep the smells away, or were removable to wash or replace. Mine have gotten pretty funky over the years/hikes, and can't get it out.
I also wouldn't mind another top outside pocket, perhaps on the lid. And lastly, in general I feel like PD's stitch quality could be better.
Other than that, I've gotten lot of use out of these, but hope they can finally combine features and make the 3rd generation the charm.

Looks slick, Is tough.
on April 22, 2024

from Cape Town, South Africa
I have had the 30L Everyday Backback since 2018, literally using it every day. It is just as suited to an office commute as it is to a dusty windy film set in the middle of the wilderness.
I can carry all of my equipment (iPad, Laptop, SLR & lenses, nodal head, tripod etc.) plus extra layers of clothing, puffer jacket, sunblock, chargers, batteries...
Using the bag is a pleasure, everything is where it should be and easily accessible. The ability to re-configure the internals according to particular needs is unmatched.
The build quality is excessive, the slick and attractive fabrics are resilient to dirt and rain and mud. I have no problem placing the bag on the ground, even on a beach, rocky mountain, dusty road or muddy field - the bag wipes clean easily.
After 5.5 years, after spending a little time under a rain machine, I realized the top zip was no longer as waterproof as it had been, the weather sealing had worn away.
Peak Design performed a warranty swap out with the new 30L V2.
This new bag is just as slick as the old one with some welcome minor tweaks and improvements.
Would recommend

My office!

Best backpack I've ever had. Always referred to as 'The Office', as it has been with me around Europe on a 5 month campervan-trip, and now living it's everyday life in the triangle between Denmark, Canada and Sicily.

Love the adaptability of it

I bought this recently to use as a work bag. It is a sturdy and structured bag so it doesnt lose its shape when carrying my everyday items. I travel a lot and this is my personal item, my essentials fit perfectly in the bag and the divisions ensure that its all in its designated space, but also sometimes i have extra things to carry like a coat and it has enough space inside for it or I can store it outside the bag with the straps.
I would recommend this to a friend!
