Versatility and quality are top notch!
on October 23, 2024
Posted by: crowdis
from Brisbane, Australia
I have had the Everyday Zip 20L in Ash for over 1.5 years now and it's been phenomenal. It's pretty much filled the role that I bought it for, which is an everyday stylish carry that you can also take on a long trip around Europe as a carry-on, and occasional outings and hikes. It was very much on the pricier end for a backpack but after a long-term trial it definitely has paid off. The main highlights over this time have been:
1. Versatility: It stows all electronics safely, has great secondary storage pockets, that are quick to access (such as the one within the laptop pouch), and has a dividable main compartment. The divider came in very handy when I traveled through Europe, so that I could store less common items (such as raincoat and spare pants) from the commonly used items at the top for quick access. Having the access from the side (using the bottom zip) takes a bit of reprogramming in your brain but actually allows for much easier access when you have lots of clothes or other things piled on top of each other. At the same time it still maintains that original backpack, access from the top, approach. I've had this thing as an everyday carry for my laptop and uni stuff, travelled across Europe, and even took it on a multi-day hut hike. It's unfortunate I didn't buy the hip belt when I first got it because I would have loved to find out how much more comfortable the pack is with a hip belt taking the weight. Another cool way the backpack allows you to expand its functionality is with the inbuilt tie-down straps.
2. Waterproof: it is surprisingly water proof, which really showed itself when I took it hiking. I hiked a whole day in constant drizzle, to the point where the rain soaked through all my rain gear to my skin. The backpack however remained dry inside, with the water only soaking through the backpack at the top near the zippers.
3. Stain proof: I was surprised how little stain the light Ash colour has sustained in 1.5 years of use. Granted I am very careful but I have certainly seen similar packs turn black over this time.
4. Quality and finish: the quality of all the parts are certainly next level. After 1.5 years of use there is not a single thread out of line, not a single plastic part breaking down or leather cracking. It's still pristine. There is no slouching in the main shell which means it still maintains the space inside. The main back straps that attach via two swivel points at the top is also still holding, which I felt would be a definite failure point.

A couple of things I feel could be improved (although they are very nit-picky):
1. The main back straps are very hard from the start and have not softened that much. I initially thought that might be an engineering thing to make them hard at first and have them harden over time but they have remained quite hard. It's not really an issue unless you carry a lot of weight for a long time.It can also be offset by putting the chest cross-strap on which pulls the harder points away from the point where it contacts with the crease between your arms and your chest. PD could perhaps look at adding some more layering of EVA into those back straps.
2. The bottle holders are a bit small to carry common bottle sizes, or anything bigger than a standard coke bottle.
3. The nature of the multiple zip system means that occasionally one side of the zip slips in relation to the other, causing a small bulge on that size when two zips are next to each other. This can be corrected with much difficulty by trying to traction the material from one side into the right direction. I don't know if this can be prevented with a better zip type but it would be good to have. Otherwise the zips are actually first class quality.

Great Backpack for my daily stuf and camera carry
on April 8, 2025
Posted by: Marius Gebhardt
from Hamburg, Germany
My everyday backpack when I do city tours with my guests or when I just want to take pictures alone.
Normally I use the Everyday zip for the transport of my iPad pro, an additional sweater or a jacket in an XS ultra light pack Cube fits perfectly in this backpack.
My Fujifilm X-S20 with a 27mm F1.2 from Viltrox as my street photography Erveryday camera.
Or a Fujifilm X-H 2 with 17-70 zoom.
In addition, I have a 0.5l drinking bottle with me and a few camera filters in a filter bag.
For me the perfect daypack.

Great design and overall built quality...but...
on February 26, 2022
Posted by: FloGauting
from Munich, Germany
I would love to give my everyday backpack full 5 stars. The overall built quality is great and the design well thought through. However, what really bothers me is that the shoulder straps will not last long, the body-facing material is too soft and delicate. After just a couple weeks of normal carrying, it showed some serious wear and tear (see pictures). The straps show the most wear and tear, where it touches the bagpack's own material. It is a real pity.

Great, versatile backpack
on February 21, 2022
Posted by: MiloW
from Poland
After two years of use, I can honestly say that this is the most comfortable backpack I have ever had. The 270-degree zipper gives you the option of opening it like a suitcase, which is extremely convenient for everyday quick packing. I've had an EDBv1 20L and a Sling 10L before, but the EDBv2 15L Zip is the perfect half-measure. It is a pity that there are no magnetic strips like in EDBv2 and holders for hanging straps. I dealt with it myself, a little non-invasive modification. I usually carry a tablet, Tech Pouch and a raincoat inside, but I can easily stuff my SLR camera. Furthermore, I was surprised that the Travel Tripod can be squeezed inside.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Downsized from 20L to 15L
on December 25, 2021
Posted by: Samuraigun
from Hong Kong
I used used to use the 20L everyday backpack V1 and V2, then i got the 15L everyday backpack zip in bone colour.
Its size is way suitable for me as a 168cm tall Asian.
The capacity is fine for my everyday carrying, but not if you carry a lot of A4 sized stuff this may be less suitable compared with the 20L.
The main slight noticeable feature are the zips that makes top of the bag entry easier but no expansion like the 20L.
Also there's no magnetic back to home the straps in the body.
Beware that then bone colour does get dirty easily

High quality, efficient

from Monument, CO
Firstly, why not offer the 20L Zip in Bone?! I feel like female Peak Design customers are getting duped because we can't get the feminine color scheme in full capacity.
Anyway, I got this bag after trying the 20L Totepack and have since realized that bag volume is a moving target and rarely indicates actual capacity. The 15L Zip can carry as much as the 20L Totepack AND having the exterior pockets allows for extra room inside. Plus, this bag allows for much easier access with the full zip feature.
I intend to use this as a carry-on, holding both my and my 2-year-olds necessities. It's nice to have a diaper bag that will continue to be a useful, sturdy bag once the kids can carry their own stuff. Absolutely love the flexible interior organization and beautiful style of the bag.
