I use this bag as a non-photograph dude, I was searching for a solid tote to carry my everyday things since I don't like having my pockets full. And it definitely does the job ! While it may be a little to big, I guess that's what we should expect for something to be long lasting and resilient.

I’ve tried to love it, I really have.

This is a quality product, it’s clearly been thoughtfully designed and well put together, it just doesn’t do it for me. After I bought a medium peak design sling, I got the tote for when I had more to carry. The bag, while being larger than the 6L sling doesn’t actually feel that much bigger. Maybe if I still carried around a 5D I’d appreciate all the thoughtfulness around camera/ tech carry, but ever since I switched to mirrorless, I need far less room and all the structure is wasted on the rest of my belongings. Because the bag is supposed to be protective for camera gear, it’s too stiff for things like my water bottle, book, jacket, journal, pens and I feel like I run out of room too easily. It’s also very heavy empty and will not squish down when only half full. It’s a great bag for the right person and I just don’t think I’m that person. The flaps are always snapping down on my fingers and the internal structure isn’t so flexible. I’m better off with the field pouch for my little Fuji kit in a lighter bag.

Functional Fashion

I absolutely love the Everyday Tote! I was between the Tote backpack and the Everyday Tote. I am glad I went with the Tote because of its functionality and style. The magnetic clasps our smooth and satisfying. All of the inside pockets are great for smaller items (chapstick, hair ties, gum, etc). Having the strap around thr luggage is a great feature , it allowed for me to travel hands free, which is something I really appreciate. The inside dividers are helpful for organizing. I kept just one of them in and things did tend to fall to the bottom of the bag. I recommend organizing your bag before you head out the door. Oh and I did I mention how stylish this bag is! The colors are so beautiful. I was hesitant on the white getting dirty. I was able to wipe off a dirt mark with a little water. The finctionality and style of this bag is so beautiful. Overall, I highly recommend the Everyday Tote!
I was looking forward to having a nice camera bag that could handle a regular size tripod but it’s my fault I didn’t look closer to the ad to notice the person demoing the bag was using the small Peak tripod, not a full size one. For a tall person, the cross bag strap is too short by 12” to 15” making it fit too high under my arm. Lastly the bag is very deep and the top opening too small making it difficult to find anything located in the bottom. I’d return the bag but I’ve used it once and taken the tags off. On the positive side, the bag is very well made and I like the magnetic closures instead of Velcro.

Great versatile tote with options!

I had bought this tote about a month ago and I have to say that I still love it! I collect tons of totes and they tend to find its way to the back of my closet… however; the everyday tote by Peak design has been in my daily rotation when going into the office. The option shoulder strap has been able to free my hands multiple times, the compartments inside provided some organization in my life that I need, and it being waterproof has been amazing. I had water spillage inside my back by a faulty thermos and with my laptop inside!! Luckily, it was stored in its laptop compartment and saved me some heartache! Highly recommend the tote!

That extra storage

I am big on bags that pack away into a small footprint for storage and this bag really fits the bill. When not in use it fits in my hand with ease. It also fits nicely in my car, my purse, or another bag without causing a bulge. When open it can be used instead of a purse or other carry all. It is very roomy for its size. In fact the only thing I would improve is the volume it will include when open. It is a little small for some things. Perhaps a medium and a large size would compliment the original size. Even the original size is great to keep with you for those quick trips to the camera store when you want to keep that new lens incognito in the van.

Disappointed with bag design and "features"

Let me first state that I am a huge fan of Peak Design, have been for a few years now, and own several products from their lines. This was my latest purchase, and I am disappointed with the quality and it's definitely below the standard of Peak Design products that I am used to.
The bag is way too small and the magnetic closure prevents any chance for you to put anything in the bag before it snaps close. There is barely enough space in the bag to put anything worth to carry a day's worth of items. On the outside of the bag, the front pocket is a smart idea, but the execution is poor. The interior pockets are way too small to store anything of importance, and the magnetic closure is flimsy. Furthermore, the back pocket does not have any secure zip to close it up.
The straps of the tote are not removable, only the crossbody handle is. I would advise that if you were looking for a primarily crossbody tote bag like I was, I would avoid this because the straps are stuck down the sides and very annoying.
The pros of this bag is the ingenious straps that you can strap anything from a jacket to a yoga mat to. I like the sleek and clean look of the bag overall, however I find it quite impractical to use. Furthermore, the supposed dividers they provide are quite useless to me, I find it hard to believe that they are used on a daily basis, and often times it just gets in my way.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Not as good as anticipated
on February 1, 2020
Posted by: Chris
This was my first Peak purchase, and honestly I found this tote lacking. I was thinking there would be more grip on the tote straps and more thought in the cross-body strap. Why doesn't the strap have the same mechanism as the other bags (pivots at axial points)? It seemed like an afterthought to me. I returned the bag. Love the aesthetics but just wasn't for me. I want the tote design of the bag to be just as functional as the shoulder strap design.
