Been using Peak Design products for a while now. All my bags and cases are theirs. This one doesn't disappoint. I can carry two Sony full frames each with a lens connected - including the large 100-400m plus other stuff. Very satisfied.
My other bags are Goruck and Mystery Ranch because I do a lot of outdoors work, but for all other everyday, highly accessible, carry of my long telephoto and mirrorless body, the Zip 20l does extremely well. Maybe not as well (over)built as those bags, but those bags are a lot more expensive and made for extreme carry in extreme conditions.
I use it to carry my Nikon Z6 with 70-300 supertelephoto for daily birding photography in it for extremely quick access. So far the zips work extremely well, they are smooth and fast, even after half a year of carry. It's very easy to spot a subject, sweep the backpack around, unzip, and be shooting in seconds, something I really wanted in a daily camera bag. The camera slips right into the bag and it is very discreet.
I wouldn't recommend loading a lot of weight into it (my camera, 12.9" iPad Pro, my Nikon Monarch binoculars, and a jacket make the Zip 20l packed and very heavy) because the straps are pretty thin, but they aren't at all uncomfortable for short walks on public transit or by car. I think I'm spoiled by the excellent straps of Goruck and Mystery Ranch, however.
The black colorway does get dirty very easily outside of the city, but I didn't buy it for that. I would recommend this backpack.
I simply love my everyday backpack zip 15l. It's the perfect size for my Sony gear and the comfort is fab. I have severe arthritis and find the ease of using this bag with the way the straps on the harness work, the fantastic zippers as well as the layout of the bag really suits my needs. So glad I made the switch to Peak Design.
Bought the 15L. Only flaw is that there is no space for both laptop and tablet. It's a practical, light, easy to access and sturdy bag, perfect for photographers or weekend escapes.
This is a pretty excellent bag. Comfortable, amazing laptop sleeve, and I love the be zips a lot.
However, as much as I love this bag so far, it took less than four hours for me to lose the sternum strap in an Uber. (Luckily I was able to recover it, but Uber charges you a fee in this instance, even if you have to make a 90-minute round trip to go collect.) I don't know how it happened, but now I have zero confidence in taking the sternum strap anywhere in case it happens again.
It's an awesome bag for engineers, however not for students.

This bag has two awesome dividers. This divider makes it the perfect bag for people who carry a lot of gadgets. However, if you separate the space with this divider, it becomes a bag that is not good for carrying books and documents. Therefore, it's not the best option for students, but it's a great option for many engineers. I am a student and an engineer, so I use one DIVIDER off the shelf. This makes the layout suitable for carrying a lot of books and storing gadgets at the same time.
Ordered a 15L version being a 5'5 guy. Fits perfectly on my body. Suitable for minimal everyday use or carrying a mirrorless camera during the weekend!
I purchased the Everyday Backpack Zip 20L. It's a high quality and well designed backpack. Many impressive features including, two access points from sides to get the bag.
