I love my Everyday Zip

I love, my everyday zip, but I wish It it had just a few features from the regular Everyday Backpack. I'm not a fan of the flip top on the Everyday backpack (I had one for a wile), but I do like that the Everyday backpack is available in the Larger 30L size, and I also wish that they had carried the magnetic straps over to the zip also. I know the Zip is suppose to be a more economical bag, but some of us would prefer the zipper and the small upgrades that the other bag has.
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.
This is a great bag and if I commuted to an office/home every day the 20L would be awesome. I wish the zippered version expanded to 30L like the 30L non zip. I work a rotational fly in/ fly out job and I find I need more space sometimes than the 20L gives when bringing supplies for the 14 day rotation and require a second bag as I don't check a bag on the charter flight. A bigger size or ability to expand would make this a perfect bag for someone who lives out of a backpack every day.
I have had many Camera Backpack in my entire Camera-life, including Everyday BackpackV1(30l). But it was a little bit bigger for daily use. I might use 30l Backpack for travelling, with 2 body and 2~3 lenses.
This Everyday Backpack Zip(20l) is just appropriate size for my everyday use, as snap-shot while walking, commuting, and so on...with OM-1, and couple lenses.
My first purchase was the 65L. This was PERFECT - It had fit my PD Tripod, 2 Camera Bodies, 6 Lenses including my 70-200 with compartments for my accessories! The durability was unmatched.
I saw the 15L and fell in love - I just had too! It is a great commuter bag and for day events. It can even fit my macbook pro and ipad pro. I just wish the straps had the magnetic features of the 65L.
I bought this bag in preparation for my 2 month solo trip and its been extremely easy to carry all my necessities with me at all times. It really takes the stress off when you have a bag like this you can count on.
I originally purchased the 15L model and found it to be too small for my everyday school use. The 20L is the perfect size for my laptop and the dividers are really useful for cradling my mouse and pencil case. The straps feel secure and so far allow for enough ventilation to prevent sweating. I'll be taking the backpack to Florida this summer, so will have to see how it fairs in hot humid weather.
