Best All-Around Backpack!
on September 26, 2022
Posted by: veedub13
from Los Angeles, CA
I've had the Peak Design Everday Backpack since April 2019 and it has been my go-to backpack for both my day to day commuting and all my travels. This has been the first bag that I've owned with side access panels which allows me to make full use of the bag space. It is compartmentalized well with the dividers so that you can quickly retrieve things from deep in the bag as long as you know where it is. This has proven SO useful in traveling where you don't want to spend too much time diverting your attention to searching through a bag. I am able to unzip, retrieve, and zip before anyone even notices. The zipper pulls also being able to loop around the anchors makes a good theft deterrent as you wouldn't want anyone trying to unzip those quickly. The top flap latching mechanism is a very elegant solution for expanding storage while not making the bag look bulky when you don't need. On flights I generally have it packed to the brim (top latch), but day to day I'm usually completely closed up to the bottom latch. I've even taken this backpack on moderate hikes where it did not become uncomfortable carrying and it had ample protection for my camera and snacks. I love the Everday Backpack and have been recommending it to everyone!
I would recommend this to a friend!

Great features for non-camera gear.

The best feature of the Everyday backpack is how customizable it is. Being able to move the dividers gives you so many options to adapt your backpack to what you need. The side access with organization works great for phone charges or small essentials. Feels very well build and I can tell it will last me a long time. Most of all, the locking mechanism and magnetic pockets lets you know this is not an ordinary backpack.

Using everyday for 3 years now - as good as new

I have bought my everyday backpack 3 years ago and have been using it everyday since. I just love the bag. It has been though through with usage in mind. Every detail is to the point. It also works very well in various conditions (short week-ends, side backpack for longer trips). I just bought 2 months ago the travel backpack, just as good !

Average Usability, but High Quality

Bought this to carry R5 and 2 small lenses while hiking around in Iceland. Hard to use side flaps as they want to close rather than allow easy access. Zippered pockets on inside of the flaps are fine, but slide ins do not keep material secure unless bag is vertical. The outside pockets could be larger/deeper to accommodate waterbottle or travel tripod. Yes, there are securing straps, but not that easy to unsecured if in wet or cold climates. Not much room in the bag for gear if you want to leave room for any clothing, gloves, etc. The flap zipper also gets snagged on the corner of the main flap when trying to zipper close the side flap with one hand so your gear won't fall out. High quality material build makes it a bit stiff. Not a plus if you are in wet conditions and wanting to quickly access your camera, shoot and then return it.
Not a fan of the front cross strap between the two shoulder straps..Difficult to secure to the other strap and then feels like a choke hold once attached and it was in a lowered position.

Organizers Dream

Great bag for those that like everything "in it's place". I am not a photographer; I did want something that secured all of my electronics in place. As I needed it for going into the office, getting a bag with MOLLE wasn't really an option. Looks professional, holds what I need it to, and seems like it will hold up.

Most useful space

The problem with other packs is that there is no vertical stratification- you are always digging down into in deep compartments. PD has solved that with the dividers and sode openings.

Hold myself back for to long

I thought about buying it for far to long and didn’t pull the trigger.
I bought the 20l version 1 1/2 years ago and should have bought it when I first wanted it abou 2 1/2 years ago.
I love everything about it, the lock, the protection it provides for my camera and laptop, the quality of the material and all this little hooks to “extend” the backpack when I need to carry an extra Jacket or something.
My Advice: If you what to have this bag, don’t wait, buy it, its worth every buck!
