I bought this about 2 months ago and my experience has been great so far! Sectionalized organization is quite useful and keeps your gear safe. It is extremely feature rich, thoughtful design.
I got the 15L Everyday Backpack in dark blue, and I have to say, after having used it for TWO DAYS, (two!)--my other backpacks are now awful by comparison. I don't like my old backpack anymore! What? I completely regret buying them now! It's terrible! Thanks Peak Design! Thanks a lot!
Love the design and all the thought put into it. Can carry my camera around easily now, and have some extra space to put stuff in for my kids at the top. The only think is that while it says it works with 15in laptops, and it kinda does. You really have to shove your laptop in there. Probably some slimmer models would work better, but it is really tight. Can't help it I guess, but still, really tight there.
Not very often you can compare a company to pategonia but peak designs cares about their products and ensuring they make a positive impact on the world. Their products are top notch and I've become a huge fan.
Received my 30L Everyday Backpack a couple of weeks ago and looking forward to using it for lugging around my camera gear, laptop and gear on my travels. The 30L version is a little larger than I expected and heavier than the Sony LCS-BL3 backpack I've used for the past 9 years. Likes: top and carry side straps, should straps and compression strap, side zips with storage compartments, top flap with magnetic catch, divided laptop compartment, ability to slide pack over a rollerbag handle. Things that could be improved: integrated rain cover (sorry, not convinced about the weather sealing), add a zippered compartment to the inside of the top flap, possible "squishier" internal dividers so the backpack can more easily squeeze under an airline seat. Definitely the best and most stylish camera backpacks I've owned - makes a great alternative to my Everyday Messenger bag.
I've had this bag for years and travel a lot so it's proven to be very durable. I also tended to try to different bags but since I have gotten this bag, I have not swapped. Temporarily tried but within two days was back in this bag. I am not a camera guy but I love using this for my everyday IT gadget bag
Not a photographer, I just use this as an everyday travel bag. All the pockets are in the right places with nice little touches like magnetic closures. Quality build that’s worth the price.
