I have had bags from LowePro, Clik Elite, Thinktank, etc... I have yet to find the perfect camera bag because there are always so many tradeoffs. And unfortunately, despite being a great back, the Peak Design EDB is no exception.
What I Like.
The bag is relatively functional without looking like a camera bag. It's hip and stylish, and has some great accessibility features like dual side zips, quick release top entry, and a laptop sleeve. The strap system can be used in a lot of different ways, and the side pockets can accommodate jackets, water bottles, and a Peak Design tripod. The dual zips make it easy to access gear while having the bag over one shoulder. Also, while it might seem expensive on the surface, this is a lot cheaper than similar models from Think Tank. The shoulder straps are ok, but not great. The way they stay flat with a magnet is very innovative and surprisingly convenient.

What I don't like:
The first thing I don't like is how much wasted space the shelf system creates. It trades efficient storage for efficient access. If you have a log of gear that needs to be carried (i.e multiple bodies, lenses, and lights,) this might not be the bag for you. The big downside is lack of pockets for small gear. There is no real storage for batteries, cables, cards, etc. I suppose this is to get you to buy an accessory pouch, but that isn't ideal. It also would be hard to use a full size tripod with this bag.

Overall, I think this is a really good bag, but it doesn't check enough boxes to be perfect. I think it's best for people that travel with a relatively small amount of gear. Think five or six pieces of body/lens/flash. That is probably more than the average person travels with, but less than the typical pro uses.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Perfect Bag For Everything
on September 22, 2021

I've been using this bag for almost 6 months. First impression, build quality is good. Once looking in the inside, the amount of possible customization of inner partition is just perfect.
I use this bag literally for everyday use to my office and sometimes for light traveling (3D 2N) and this bag able to carry everything I need.
And the DWR coating is very good. As a people who live in a country with lot of rains, it really helps.

This pack is definitely one of the most thought out packs I've ever seen. Have to lug around a massive amount of gear with a laptop and be able to get to everything with ease is a feat only mastered by the Peak Everyday backpack!
Congrats to the team responsible for the design. This is a true winner!

This my second purchase of this backpack. I was so impressed with the first that I bought another for the additional equipment I need to carry. Two different colours so that I can identify the contents

Got this backpack for a trip to the Rockys. This came in handy. The pockets and overall design. I recommend viewing videos so you can see the bag’s features. You may miss 2-3 you didn’t know existed. It’s great!!

20L does NOT fit a 15" Macbook Pro

I bought this bag after watching video after video saying that it was able to store the 15" Macbook. The reality is that it does not even close with the computer in the bag.

A bit heavy, a bit hard, the strap will scratch the neck, the chest strap is not easy to use
For daily use: too little storage space,
