This bag is amazing. I am traveling around a college campus photographing the cheer teams. Allows me to have everything I need to grab and go. Very comfortable to carry.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Just the best backpack you could ever want!

The Peak Design Everyday Backpack has been my daily carry now for 5 years and I love it! It really is my everyday backpack and goes with me to work, out hiking, when I walk down the road to buy groceries, as my carry-on on planes when I'm travelling - truly versatile. Typically I'll pack at least one (and often two) of my OM-System cameras and several lenses, and the internal dividers mean I can customize how much camera gear and how much other stuff I need each day. The weatherproofing is excellent (have had it out in torrential downpours and everything has been dry inside. Plenty of space for my Dell XPS 15 laptop, an iPad mini, plus documents. But the best things about this backpack for dedicated photographers are the side zipped pockets, meaning I can be out walking a crowded city or a remote mountain and access either of my two main cameras by just swinging the backpack around and unzipping the appropriate side pocket - brilliant stuff! On photo trips away I've really maxed out the amount of camera gear I've packed and that 20 liter capacity still manages - amazing!

Near perfection

I bought this six months ago and have now used it on twelve shoots and during three major trips. I’ve also used all the main competitors and landed on the 30L version of the everyday pack without any hesitation. I prefer the side entry style to begin with. It is versatile and fast when you need to get to your equipment. As a primary camera bag it is perfect. The zippers are all top notch and the materials are rugged. There are a couple of things I would change if I could.
1. It would be great for hiking situations (common for us landscape people), if this pack had an ability to carry a hydration reservoir. This could be done by waterproofing the laptop area.
2. At this price point, I’d like to see it include a hip belt.

This piece is the core of my gear now and I won’t be changing that.

Finally Pulled the Trigger

I've been looking for a few years for a full-featured backpack for travel. While I don't carry cameras, I want to have room for electronics, books, jacket, drinks, etc, This backpack checks the box on all accounts, The quality, functionality and ease of access make travel much easier. And I also added the phone case and slim wallet and love that combination just as much.

Best backpack I've ever owned

After seeing the big tech YouTubers buying this backpack I wanted to give it a try too. Now that my old backpack was broken I had to buy a new one and bought the Peak Design Everyday Backpack. Personally I don't use it for tech gear, it's just my backpack for everyday carry and I know that I will never be able to buy a different backpack than this.

Greatest backpack ever.

I loved my 30L (my go-to travel bag) so much I decided to get the 20L as a work bag. The 20L fits a 16” MBP very well. For me the construction and material quality and value for the money puts Peak Design above big brands like Tumi and Briggs & Riley.

Pure love

Coming from an v1 that has seen Germany, Italy, Japan, China, among others, twice as many domestic destinations, and countless uses for work and conferences - I can say PD makes ridiculously good bags and am proud to say they have a forever customer in me. So happy to know there are still companies that pride themselves in great product development, stand by them, and a non-subscriber to throwaway consumerism ideals (ie. Items designed only to last a small number of years).
In terms of climate, it has survived China summers (35*C) and the Alaskan North Pole winters (-30*C). Talk about die hard. In the span of 6 years, this bag has held up remarkably well - given commonsense care. However, as an IT professional in the Bay Area my work and personal MacBook Pro 15”-16” laptops could barely fit - which is remedied in the v2. If this bag were 25L expanded, it would be perfect because I hate having to decide which two important items to not bring.
Having now used the v2, I think it’s better in most ways - such as the more accommodating laptop compartment for 16” and the mag latch flap slope being less steep allowing for a tiny bit more carrying capacity. However, the top pocket next to the laptop compartment is less useful as ever. With a laptop, that pocket can no longer fit my keys, car fob, wallet, iPhondde, and AirPods - or much of anything without a struggle.
