20L does NOT fit a 15" Macbook Pro
on September 15, 2021

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.
I would recommend this to a friend!

2 Key Critiques
on September 30, 2024
Posted by: John
from Hong Kong
I love Peak Design and will still buy their products. But please consider these for next iterations!
1. The luggage slot on this bag goes in sideways. This is inconvenient because 1). one side of the bag is unreachable, 2). accessing the top back slit pocket results in contents falling out and 3). the slot to put the luggage handle through is larger than my luggage bags, resulting in a slide from side to side making it difficult to balance the bag.
2. The bag does not fully open from the back. while it is okay most of the time, it is much more practical to be able to pull the whole back part out to access contents, especially if it's in the middle of the middle (not easily accessible from the sides or the top).
Otherwise the bag is sturdy, looks great, has many features and I still use it everyday.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Peak design has thought of everything for this bag
on May 13, 2021
Posted by: Anonymous
The shelf system is totally ingenius and works with all different kinds of kit from DSLR to drone. As you change interests and kits the peak design backpack will change with you. All of the materials feel very high quality and will last a lifetime. My only complaint is the packets aren't very versatile and once the bag is loaded up only comfortably hold thin thinks like memory cards. It can be difficult to find a good spot for dust caps. My bag fully loaded weighs 18 pounds and it almost feels a little heavy for the straps, but that may be due to their stretchy design. Overall I reccomend this bag and all other PD products to any traveler or photographer.

Very Stylish and Excellent Build
on December 2, 2021
Posted by: Charlie
from Melbourne, Australia
I have been using my 30L backpack everyday for a few weeks and really enjoy it. I am not a photographer so I have found less use for the divider shelves but they are still useful to have incase I'm carrying anything soft I want to avoid crushing.
The build is exceptional good and I have received multiple compliments on the look and features.
My only issue is that it is quite heavy for a bag (even while empty) and not always very comfortable on the shoulders under heavy load.
The price is also very high but I believe it is worth it for the quality and features it offers.
I wouldn't recommend for a long hiking trip where a lot of weight is carried but for an everyday bag it works very well.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Love the pack but the strap could have been better
on August 5, 2023
Posted by: Ryuji

I genuinely wanted to love this backpack. It boasts remarkable organizational features, and accessing my camera gear is a breeze. However, the thin shoulder strap became a significant drawback for me. Once the bag is loaded, the lack of padding on the strap makes it highly uncomfortable. I regrettably had to switch to another brand because of this.
For reference, I typically carry:
- A 14" MacBook Pro
- A Nikon Z7ii with a Nikkor z 50mm f 1.8 lens
- A Nikkor z 35mm f 1.8 lens
- A Nikkor z 24-120mm f 4 lens
- An Anker power bank
- A battery charger
- A 14" MacBook Pro
- A Nikon Z7ii with a Nikkor z 50mm f 1.8 lens
- A Nikkor z 35mm f 1.8 lens
- A Nikkor z 24-120mm f 4 lens
- An Anker power bank
- A battery charger
I would gladly reconsider this backpack if a more padded shoulder strap is introduced in its next iteration.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Meticulously Designed
on August 9, 2022
Posted by: Mark
from Dallas TX
I am a backpack enthusiast, I own several backpacks and I buy and sell them to try new ones. The everyday backpack v2 is always in my rotation. I am not into photography but the ingenious access system makes this work for a variety of settings (office pack, diaper bag). It is on the expensive side but the design is so good that other established companies have tried to imitate it. I love the versatility of the organization. I dislike that the material will pick up dust and sand, noticeably on the black model.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Verified Purchase:Yes
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!

Attention to details
on June 20, 2022
Posted by: Murtadha
from Manchester, UK
The bag is very well built, and the materials are high quality. The details are very well though-out.
However, I do wish few things were done differently. I wish the internal separators would have the ability to attach to one side of the bag (the flat back side) on the inside, creating a hollow pocket that is smaller but as a result allows you to store something flat like an A5 or A4 notebook or a tablet inside the bag (without using the back laptop packets or removing the dividers all together).
Additionally, I also wish the strap would have more cushioning as it does tend to get uncomfortable when wearing the bag for a while. And the fact it isn't that wide doesn't help either.
Other than that (and maybe a tiny pocket on the outside above the side water bottle pockets) the backpack is great, and very well designed.
I would recommend this to a friend!
