I'm a 56-year-old Information Technology executive, and I've carried every imaginable backpack for my gear over the years. Most of them were complete garbage, and then I watched a 2022 YouTube video by Marques Brownlee where he did a "bag dump" of the everyday gear he was carrying. This backpack was the camera bag he was using. I don't usually hop on bandwagons when it comes to my EDC equipment, but I decided to take a leap of faith and spend there extra money for this bag. I absolutely love it. I use it mainly as a laptop bag instead of a camera bag, but that fact alone speaks to its versatility. It's extremely well made, and every detail has been well planned. I like products that are well designed, and you can see that a lot of thought went into every design choice. I highly recommend this pack, along with the related Peak Design accessories.
I got the v2 as a warranty replacement (shoutout to the legendary warranty) for the v1 I originally got via kickstarter after its zipper gave out after ~7yrs of consistent use.
In general, I appreciate the improvements over the v1. Most notably, the harness system is more comfortable, it stands upright on its own, and there are more organization in the top/back zippered compartment. I do still think I prefer the v1's side paanel organization, but I think I can get used to the new design.
One nitpick I have is the removal of a number of leather accents (side handles, zipper pulls), which elevated the look and feel of the v1.
I’ve had the Everyday Backpack V1 bag for over seven years, and it has been my trusty companion through work, weekends, and travel. I'm happy to report that the V2 solved all the previous hiccups I had with the bag with better chest strap, I love the magnet for the arm strap, I much prefer the new format of the side pocket zipper. Finally I love the Coyote external fabric
I upgraded from the v1 to this new design and I really like what they’ve done with the pocket organization and build quality. This bag is the perfect combo of minimal design but yet high function.
Even though it is 20L, it packs a lot. Dividers, compartments and many pockets help organize your everyday and strap attachment help secure when carrying. The only little con is, when you pack a lot, you feel the weight occasionally. So, it's not a lightweight backpack.
Superbe produit, j'ai acheté aussi la petite Tech pouch de la même couleur. Je les emportes tous les jours au travail. Le week end, il transporte mon Canon R6 pour mes sorties photo.
I had many backpacks and this is by far the best one. High functionality with also great look, but the storage and dividers give so much flexibility and they’re well thought and designed. Also, all the handles makes it super easy to pick up. It’s the perfect backpack for work, travel and photography.
