I have been pleasantly surprised with the quality of the bag. The bag feels really good to carry around. The dividers take some time to get use to but once you get hang of it, gives the flexibility to organize your stuff. Having zip on both sides is awesome. Every aspect is well thought through.
I love the quality my Everyday Bag brings, I feel much peace of mind knowing my precious gear is safe. I do wish it had more small compartments on the outside, but there are lots of compartments on the interior to make up for it.
I have been looking for the perfect bag for a long time, and I think I have finally found it. I am an IT professional who travels all the time for work, and I always have to carry a lot of equipment with me at all times. This bag has finally satisfied my desire for a bag that offers both a lot of storage space, and a good amount of organization. The build quality is also possibly the best I have seen. Super pleased!
I love using this backpack for photography, work, school, traveling, etc. The pockets are intelligent and thoughtful. My only vice is that the straps do not provide a ton of comfort for a hauling heavy items for long durations.
I have always loved Peak Design Products. I have been looking for a backpack for the longest time. The ones I found were either too big or too small. This version 2 backpack is awesome. It holds a ton of gear and if packed right it does not break your back. I have always loved your inserts. Having the capability to fold down it allows for a tighter fit of your equipment that is in the bag, This prevents your expensive equipment from moving while it is inside the bag. It is expensive but worth every penny. It is also amazing that it comes with a lifetime warranty. The only tiny issue I have with the bags is that the waist belt has to be purchased separately. It should come with your purchase.
I have been using the Everyday Backpack V1 for over 5 years and got a V2 to replace it. The new V2 has so many thoughtful and useful improvements to make a great product greater still. I love it that the shoulder straps now have magnets to keep them in place when not in use. This is especially useful when carrying it over my suitcase when travelling. I love the new redesigned laptop compartment, which has more useful pockets to keep things in place, and new adjustable laptop cradle. One thing that I don't love are the hidden pockets in the side flaps - I feel the V1 design was better and more useful.
Great backpack for photography and travel - 30L Unit Pros: - Charcoal looks expensive yet modest - Large size - External carry straps are great...I bought 2 extra straps - Typical top notch build quality - Seems very rugged - Side pockets for water bottle, tripod, umbrella are great - Pivoting shoulder straps are surprisingly handy
Cons: - Bit on the heavy side - Needs more pockets in the upper section (mag latch area) - Small items in the upper section may fall down past dividers - Functionality of the side pockets are questionable - Cut out notch for water drainage from side pockets looks questionable for longevity - Laptop compartment is a tight fit if you are dropping in both a 15" laptop and iPad Pro - Tablet sleeve is not full depth which could be good, but mostly bad if you want to carry a large laptop and a 13" laptop for example.
