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.
Have never found a bag so well designed. I really love it. It swallows up a ton of stuff. I plan to use this as my day bag so I can carry my daily work stuff but keep my camera (5d Mkiii) and an extra lens and some equipment with me as well. I think my only suggestion would be that some maybe like zipper mesh or something would be nice on the side openings internally to keep stuff from falling out when opening them if you don’t have things packed tightly, but it’s not a very big deal. The bag is great.
Love my 20l backpack (in black). -1 star for strap webbing that dangles when pulled taut - I wish the bag came with some sort of clip system to hold the webbing in place after adjustment. Otherwise a near-perfect experience!
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'm going to give 4 for two reasons. First of all the first day one of the magnets came unattached from the straps and now it digs into my back. The other complaint I have is that the bag itself seems to have more space than it does. With so much material you loose space. I love it, Just didn't think something would break so fast.
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."
I bought this as a more practical photo and everyday bag and it's hitting the mark. The various pockets and compartments and the multiple access points is making this very useful!
