I am not a photographer and purchased the largest Everyday Packback V2 in their dark grey for transit commutes to my office job that includes bringing my own MBP16", iPad Pro 12.9", documents, book[s], headphones, umbrella, lunch, etc. I made the selection based on carrying the biggest MacBook Pro and how I fancied the contrasting colour of the zippers and leather embellishments [otherwise I likely would have selected their midnight blue] colour-way. The appearance did not disappoint, it's a beauty. Construction and feel were higher than expected. I don't exactly run a light pack so I am relying on the top leather handle to hold up over time. The 'fabric' is unique, in a good way. It has a auditory feedback that I myself enjoy. It also supplies feeling of strength to pack. The pack itself is cavernous—which makes the origami dividers essential. Through tinkering and trials you'll find your go to configs. If I had a wish, it would be for the designers to attend to straps that dangle when I have it in 'briefcase mode', shoulder pads stuck to the back and carry straps slack all pull in. Which creates dangling straps that I wish I could tuck in somewhere? One think you'll also notice, especially if you're way up here in Canada is you instantly make a new friend if a fellow PeakDesign pack/tote wearer is nearby. Rather feels like the days of yore when I was one of two people with an Apple computer in a board meeting and I knew I'd be friends with that one other person. It's, like, "Yes, my underlying life values and fetishisation of design made me pay this much for this. You too, eh? Nice, well, I guess we should be friends."
As advertised. I have the 35L travel backpack and bought this because I am such a fan now. I wish I would’ve gone larger. Primary use is for office work. Fits my full size 15” laptop. However, will not fit the laptop and iPad. Functionality is great. The closing mechanism is easy. Plenty of inside pockets too. Overall excellent.
I've never been a fan of backpacks but this one has changed my mind. The pack is just great. I'm a big fan of all the little clips and holders that hold the straps so there are no floppy parts. The Ash color is darker in person than the photos which was a little disappointing but probably better for not showing dirt so I got over that quickly. The origami parts are incredible. I was able to carry a long scope very easily.
Got this backpack for a trip to the Rockys. This came in handy. The pockets and overall design. I recommend viewing videos so you can see the bag’s features. You may miss 2-3 you didn’t know existed. It’s great!!
This my second purchase of this backpack. I was so impressed with the first that I bought another for the additional equipment I need to carry. Two different colours so that I can identify the contents
