The Name Says It All!
on January 28, 2022

This truly is a solid "everyday" pack. As a professional photographer, I've used it as my primary camera bag since it was first released on Kickstarter and it's been perfect in every way. It holds everything I need for a grab-and-go session or as a companion to my larger hard cases.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Finally a camera backpack that does everything!

I have spent way too many years trying to make other backpacks work and now my search is over--the Peak Design Everyday 20L backpack is perfect. So many ways to keep my camera and personal items all in one bag. I love the adjustable shelves for my camera, lenses and equipment. The side pockets are great for all the little things and the top compartment fits all my other stuff--books, sweater, wallet, etc. There is still plenty of room on the side for my Swell and I appreciate the secret compartments. I would highly recommend watching the product video to learn all the tricks of the bag. I feel like I am always discovering something new. I also opted for the waist belt and that was a HUGE help to make the bag more comfortable when it is packed full. It can get a little heavy if it's filled with a camera, laptop, water bottle and personal items. I have traveled many times with my bag and the quality is amazing--it still looks brand new. This is truly a fabulous camera backpack.

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.

Everyday Backpack V2 improves over V1
on February 1, 2022
Posted by: Alvin
from Singapore
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
on February 2, 2022
Posted by: Loving Peak Design in GA
from Atlanta Ga
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.

Great versatile everyday backpacks

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.

The Perfect Bag
on February 3, 2022
Posted by: Carter
from Utah
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!
