I bought the 30L charcoal bag a year ago from the bag swap. It has been absolutely amazing. Everything fits always. The organization system is delightful and it protects my laptop
I recently took this bag on a business trip as my first time out with it in the wild. For the first time, I had room to spare. I left all three dividers in basically the default position, and the bottom section was holding my laptop chargers very comfortably. As an infrequent access item, it was the perfect place. In the center, my tech bag fit perfectly. The top divider had one side flipped up, and the small section held travel sized aspirin, gum, floss, etc, and was accessible either through the top or that side of the bag. The large side held a book, sunglasses, and anything else that needed to be dropped in. In the top pockets of the side flaps, I had granola/nut bars for quick snacks. In the top pouch of the laptop area, I had a ziplock of sanitizer wipes, because you never know. The laptop itself fit in the sleeve a bit snug. To be fair, it was slightly bigger (thicker) than a MacBook, so you might run into issues if you have anything much bigger than that.
I could've have fit more in with that configuration, and also could have spend time to organize much better, and get even more into it.
This is very likely the last backpack I'll ever have to buy. I'm sold for life on PD products.
I would recommend this to a friend!

The best backpack for any use

I am not someone who normally gets excited about products, and certainly not about a backpack. But the Everyday Backpack is a really special product. The features have been so well thought out, that I like the backpack more each time I use it. It has been great for commutes to work, with the side access panels and direct access computer slot allowing me to quickly access the items I need at setup and throughout the day, and quickly pack them back away at the end of the day. It has also been great for travel, with the external straps allowing me to roll up and attach my winter coats while in the airport, and the addition of a tech pouch (also from Peak Design) makes managing computer and technology access an easy task, not a blindfolded scavenger hunt like in every other backpack I've used throughout the years. I love this pack so much, that I sent one each to my sister and her husband as a wedding gift. And I will admit to being ready to gush about the pack to anyone that asks about it (be warned). The only issue that I've had with the pack in over 6 months of use, is that when it is a little overloaded (read crammed to its limits) I need to be careful zipping one side panel (the right one only) or a specific tooth will get caught and pull out of position. I can work around this though...

My daily backpack for almost 5 years

I have this backpack for almost 5 years and use it every day and It is still as good as new. The durability and thoughtfulness of this backpack is amazing. Build to last. I travel a lot and really appreciate the document compartments. The click of that metal magnetic lock is so satisfying. So glad I found this backpack.

Great backpack for all

Great for uni students, work, travel, small Fujifilm owners, mirrorless or even dslrs! I can fit my waterbottle, lunchbox, Fujifilm camera, gym bag, laptop, iPad, and more! I couldn’t fit all that in my previous Samsonite bag.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Incredible detail in design and functionality

A friend if mine told me to look into PD when I had mentioned that I was shopping for backpacks. She told me that she suspected I would really like PD products because of the detail and function. I hadn't heard of the brand before, so i started browsing online. I liked what I saw, but it was only after I found the Everyday backpack in a retail store, and got to see/touch/play/experience it in person, and it was then I realized I had to go for it. The things that I didn't see while browsing online were the small details: Magnet closures on pockets and for the straps, hidden pockets in areas I didn't see online, the keychain/device strap, and just the overall quality of construction—incredible.
I now also have: Tech pouch, Wash pouch, Shoe pouch, and iPhone case + wallet—all of equal quality. I'm obviously becoming a real live fanboy. ;)
I would recommend this to a friend!

Very solid backpack

I originally had the V1, which was replaced under warranty after 4 years after part of a zipper broke. The new bag is just a really solid improvement on the original. Better straps and better interior flaps in particular
