The bag I didn’t know I needed!

I’ve been a fan of Peak Design for a while now, mainly for their camera gear. But I decided to purchase the Everyday Backpack because I needed more space to carry my stuff, including some camera gear. And let me tell you- there is not detail that Peak Design doesn’t think of. The side zip for easy access to your stuff, the dividers to keep your innards organized, the security of the zippers locking to the backpack, the elastic shock cord on the key hook so you can unlock your door… Peak Design continues to amaze me with their product design. I’d recommend figuring out exactly what size you need because this backpack has a rigid frame around it that doesn’t allow much movement of the backpack… but also doesn’t allow things to get squished on the inside.
Bought this bag to double as a: camera bag for hiking and a carryon for travelling. I *love* the size and how comfortable it is to carry. The padded sleeve fits my ipad pro nicely :)
I love this backpack, I don't know about others but mine actually stands straight when I put it down with gear inside. I use it everyday for work all while keeping my sony a6000 in it just in case. I didn't feel like paying extra for the v2 just for the flap and magnets so I got this one for its sleek look. The laptop sleeve does hold my asus tuf 15.6 laptop in case your questioning the laptop sleeve. It does ride kind of weird due to the positions of the shoulder straps as they are not at the very top of the backpack more like an inch or two below the top but that's only if you care about anesthetics. Nonetheless it's simple and straight forward once you have your set up dialed in.
I purchased this because it was time to upgrade my everyday carry bag. I need something for my 9-5 gear as well as a small camera setup. This bag nails it. I can fit everything I need and more.
2 suggestions for the next version. Make the laptop and tablet pockets more loose. When the bag is stuffed, it’s a little difficult to get my laptop and tablet out.
Also, I think a 23-25L would be absolutely perfect.
Love this backpack so much. The security zippers are a game changer for travel. Ended up being able to fit more than expected inside (including my 14" Macbook Pro) and get tons of compliments everywhere. The bone color is prone to stains, but that's to be expected. Even considering that, it's held up really well on 6 flights thus far!
This pack replaced my NutSac computer bag and my gym duffel bag into a sleek, comfortable EDC bag for any occasion. It’s come with me to Costa Rica, hiking, the gym, and every day to the office. With the organizers, it’s seriously tough to beat. The modularity is unlike most bags in its weight class. The one glaring con is that the material on the bag’s straps began pilling/fraying almost immediately. Not only is this frustrating, but it makes the bag look cheap and rough when it truly is not. If this were remedied, it would be an easy five stars. Also, another small nitpick is the water bottle pockets are a bit narrow.
