The backpack that will last a lifetime
on November 2, 2022

Bought this about a month ago and took this backpack on my international trip to South Korea. The 20L backpack was able to hold my camera gear (Sony mirror less and 3 lenses) and a lot more! Looking at the bag after a full week of commuting though the subways and hiking the national forests, it still looks brand new. I can tell this is great quality!
I would recommend this to a friend!

Great features, Great Warranty

Peak Design replaced my V1 with this when the zipper failed on my Everyday Backpack V1. Up until that point I thought that the V1 was the best backpack I had ever owned. The warranty process was easy and painless (considering that I had lost the original receipt). The newer version seems slightly more compact (rated as the same capacity). It does not have a waist strap which I tended to use most of the time with V1. Frankly, I don’t miss it. The backpack is pretty stable with just the chest strap and sways very little without the waist straps. I don’t load the backpack to the max, so can’t comment in if the waist straps distribute the weight better with heavier loads. The backpack also sits neater when set down ( less straps to step on). The magnets in the shoulder straps also help with this. I prefer the full cloth zippered covers on the inside of the side flaps. The magnetic fasteners are not as good at keeping things from falling out of the top pockets of the side flaps. Overall, I thinks that the newer version is much neater and seems less bulky. Bring back the full zippered cloth covers for the side flaps and I think it would be perfection.

My back thanks my pack

Awesome backpack with quality in every detail. I have had it for a while now and it has yet to fail me in any way. I also took it on vacation and carried it every day for 10-12 hours per day. It was my own fault for putting some weight in it, but I never felt like I couldn’t carry it any longer.

The best I ever owned

Not much to say to be perfectly honest, this is just the best backpack I have ever owned from every perspective, quality, utility, and the style.
Simply the best that I can imagine and I am over the moon to own it’s!

Sadly, a downgrade.

Even after a month of getting acquainted with the V2 version of his backpack, I still miss my V1. Accessing the top pocket as easier over the shoulder. The side pockets are less useful, and I can't store as much in them. The hidden pocket on the lip of the main opening is smaller than it used to be, for what seems like no reason.
All that being said, it's still a good backpack, and if the v1 isn't being sold anymore it's a pretty decent second place.
I hope that, in addition to fixing everything I mentioned, the v3 backpack includes the side pockets built into the water bottle holders the way that the Travel Bag does. Those are so convenient, I'd be able to stop having to use the top pocket.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Amazing Backpack

One of the best backpacks I've ever used. I had V1 and loved it and V2 make nice improvements on it. I especially love the wider opening for the laptop making access even easier. And the new zippers feel smoother than before. This backpack is simply amazing

One of the best but could be better...

The bag is very smartly designed like most PD products, very intuitive to use and the materials are top notch. The issue that I had however was with the material being used in the back of the backpack, when you put a lot of weight like when you are carrying a lot of your camera gear, etc the material is coarse so it will mess up/ruin your shirt depending on what you have on. Before I noticed how the material was really pilling the shirt material because of the high friction, I ruined two nice shirts I wore when carrying the backpack, now I know better but still....
