Great EDC bag EVER !
on February 20, 2020
Posted by: Anonymous
College student here, I was looking for a bag with decent space. This bag really delivers. I've included pictures of some of the things I carry every day and trust me, you can put in a lot more. It's a little hard to convey with pictures, but you can easily add a pair of headphones to what is already included (for your average student, I think this is a perfect size). The hidden pockets are a great addition and I love the minimalism of the bag. I can't say much about the durability of the bag just yet (as I just got it today), but first impressions are great so far. The zippers are great quality, the fabric seems pretty solid and strong. Maybe I'll give an update after several months of use, but for the moment I'm quite happy with the purchase

Lighter and better
on March 5, 2020
Posted by: Nicolas
Previous owner of an Everyday Backpack 20l I opted for a Zip 20l as a replacement. Incredibly, I have the feeling the finish quality has gone up a notch: the zips feel incredible, the outer fabric also (and weather resistance is just perfect).
The inside of the Zip is perfect for my use (with a mirrorless body and a couple lenses).
Overall the bag also feels lighter than the Everday Backpack, even though it's actually only 150gr down. Having the possibility to remove all extra straps (sternum, keys, additional carry) is also a plus for me, since I only use one, in order to shave weight.
The Zip is not a cheaper version of the Everyday, or at least it doesn't feel that way, which means the product is a success!

A little bit bigger than I expected
on March 6, 2020
Posted by: Anonymous
I ordered the 20L version, it replaces my old Wisport Sparrow 20L. When I tried it on, it seems bigger than my old 20L pack, this may due to its rigid shape. It carries camera gear perfectly, and distribute weight nicely. The build quality is very robust, the only thin I don't like is the sternum strap, it would be better is it has a quick attach/release buckle. And it comes loss quite easily. All and all, I like this backpack very much

Zip Love
on March 9, 2020
Posted by: Kelly
Switched from the EDBv1 to the ED Zip for my err'day work backpack (work stuff - no camera stuff).
Winning
-Comparing 20L v1 (EDB) to the 20L (EDB Zip), the Zip “feels” a little roomier simply because the top section of the bag is formed w/out having to expand the MagLatch on the v1. I rarely needed the extra expansion on the v1 so the Zip is adequate+ to store my usual top shelf items (PD field pouch + small notebook)
- Being able to keep my bag open at the top is something I didn't realize I missed so the Zip is a win for me here.
- Zip feels lighter - not placebo. I can load everything from my v1 into the Zip and for whatever reason, it feels better on my little 5'2” frame.
- No hair pulling! Not sure if its the material or where the bag sits. V1 yanked Zip does not.
- Roomier side pockets!

Wishing
- Mag straps had been incorporated into the bag - would have tightened a tight bag
- Curious about v2 fabric - I find that where there's a magnet, there appears to be wear. It's as though the magnet rubs its shape through the fabric
- I have found that I missing having at least one full zip inside panel for things like toothbrush+paste that I'd prefer to be out of sight, but from a design standpoint, I get it. Besides..which side would get the zip flap?

While overall I give this bag a 4+, I give the PD team customer service a 5+. We had to interact through a series of odd events and they were extremely responsive throughout!

A welcome update
on March 10, 2020
Posted by: Sean
Having used the original Peak Design Everyday Backpack, this new zip variant is a much improved alternative to its brother. With more internal space and a more ergonomic shape, this wins hands down. A variety of access options fixes many of the gripes that I had with the original (a tad too stiff for my liking, internal space was very quickly occupied due to the side pocket organizers, and the rough exterior. I am hard pressed to recommend any other bag over this when it comes to an well organized everyday backpack.

Great Bag for Multiple Uses
on March 14, 2020

I purchased this bag for my boyfriend. After using it for a month, he loves it. It's comfortable, functional and stylish. He uses it on work trips and to carry his many card boxes on game nights - this bag is excellent for everyday use!

Excellent product and service
on March 16, 2020
Posted by: Peter
I purchased the black 15L zip via an authorized retailer but the backpack didn't come with the advertised key tether. Leo was quick to respond to my concern and sent out a replacement for me the next day. Overall experience with customer service was smooth and delightful. Always love a company that strives for customer service excellence.
This is my first camera bag. The bag is packed with pockets and compartments, and built with high quality and durable material. The design is excellent as well. I particularly enjoy the rotatable backpack shoulder straps and the customizable dividers; everyone is different so it is important that your everyday carry fits your needs.
Although I thoroughly enjoy using the backpack, I did think it was too pricey. With that said, it is an excellent product that's backed by a team of people that care. I would recommend their products to anyone looking for reliable protection for their gear.
