Fantastic all-around camera bag
on December 3, 2021
Posted by: ZKATK
from Ahseville, NC
I purchased this bag because I love everything about Peak Design and I preferred the aesthetic of the zip to that of the Everyday Backpack (EB). The design, in particular the accessibility, is second to none. However, if I knew then what I know now, I would have purchased the EB instead of the Zip because of one feature—the magnetic shoulder straps. My understanding was that it was just a different design, not a step down from the EB. I travel a lot and thought the Zip would have them, but it didn’t. I used a friend’s EB and it makes a big difference for keeping things neat and orderly when stowed on a roller-board.

Awesome EDB!
on January 12, 2020
Posted by: Chris Brown
I bought the 20L when it was first released and have used it as my EDB ever since. I store my peak tech bag in the bottom, the middle allows you to fit a camera and 1 or 2 lenses, and the top allows a change of clothes or misc things you are carrying.
I keep a surface pro in the sleeve but it is hard to access and a little tight when the bag is full, the zipper should travel a little further down giving a bigger opening and making it a little easier to get stuff out of the laptop compartment. Never the less I also keep my external drive, mouse, and adapter in the little pockets in the laptop compartment.
Water bottle pockets are huge!
I am glad Peak decided to add a zip version of this bag!

Nice Color, Great design

15L, Bone color, very classic color which combined leather and white cream fabric.
The inside is very neat. Premium quality and high precision. Only one small problem for me is very easy to be dirty and it's not easy to clean like the quick guide said.
Actually 15L is somehow small than I think BUT there's only one option for this color and I love it so much. The good thing is the extra belt that easy to use to expand some carry on items.
If you are a guy that bring many things please skip this option but if you can minimize your things into 15L backpack, I really recommend this

Smaller than expected but still great

Let me say that I love the style of this bag and the smaller size, but it's just a little too small for a MacBook Pro + iPad Air with keyboard case. The two devices do not fit in the back slot, only one of them does, so you need to put the other in the main compartment. To do this, you are quite limited in “shelf” space. I will definitely use it when I'm only carrying one device, but doesn't work for both. The bag is completely fabulous in every way, especially with the side pockets, just needs a little more room for both devices in the back to 100% perfect.

Perfect for Work EDC
on May 20, 2022

I researched for hours to find an EDC bag for work. The Everyday Backpack Zip 15L is absolutely perfect for what I need. The only gripe I have is that there are no magnets in the straps for stowing, but I can live without it. Work & Car Travel EDC: Samsung Tab S8+ (laptop pocket), Galaxy Buds, charging cords/bricks, power bank, pen, flashlight, Yeti tumbler, hat, lunch/snacks, memory cards/flash drives, Mighty Hank, multi-tool, knife, chapstick, gum. My entire EDC fits in the bag with room to spare and keeps everything protected in style!
I would recommend this to a friend!

Great bag!

I recently took my zip backpack on a trip to Europe for a smaller option compared to my regular everyday backpack. I was surprised with how much it held still. I was able to fit my Sony a7ii with 28-70mm lens along with a 35mm, snacks, sunglasses, rain jacket, water bottle, iPad and still had room for some souvenirs. It felt lighter and was very comfortable hiking up the mountain. In the cities and on public transportation it was small enough that I didn’t feel I was invading other peoples space. I have the bone color and was also pleasantly surprised how well dirt came off. I like being in nature and do not worry about my bag when going through a cave or setting it down in the dirt, it held up great!
I would recommend this to a friend!

15L stores more than I thought
on October 4, 2023

I was hemming and hawing between the 15L and 20L version of this backpack. Weight and size were important for me and I didn't want a bag what was bigger than what I needed. I currently used a 20L packable daypack and I wanted something that had more structure. I gambled with the 15L for the lighter weight and smaller footprint. I'm so happy that I did. It carries WAY more than my 20L. It must that space is so much more useful and organized. The only minor downside is if there's a laptop and ipad, the fit is pretty tight and it's difficult to get the laptop or ipad out with ease. Other than that it's perfect as a daily pack for work.
I would recommend this to a friend!

The perfect everyday, BUT....
on January 14, 2020
Posted by: Todd
I absolutely love this backpack. In all honesty, it's perfect except for the laptop compartment. I really don't understand the thinking in not making the outside zip portion just a little longer for better access. I'm also very confused by the 13" vs 15" divider inside the compartment. When it's in the folded down position for the "15, it doesn't sit flush against the back panel and you have to put your hand inside to hold it out of the away in order to slide a "15 laptop in. When unfolded and tucked beneath the inside flap it's only deep enough for a 13". Maybe I'm just an idiot, but it's a confusing design and not what I've come to expect from Peak.
