Heavy duty, stylish
on November 8, 2022

I love Peak Design products. Stylish, sleek, and durable. This messenger bag fit the bill. My only gripe is that I have the newer 16 inch MacBook Pro from work and it does not going to the laptop sleeve. I am able to still fit my MacBook in the backpack, but I have to remove the dividers.
The design and features in their abilities still sold me, but I wish they would make these just a little bit bigger to accommodate laptops
I would recommend this to a friend!

V1 is better
on November 7, 2022
Posted by: GroverBlue
from North Mankato, MN
I bought version 1 of the Everyday Messenger a few years ago. I loved the bag. Recently had it replaced under warranty as as stress points for the strap were wearing away. The bag was replaced with v2. V2 is nice but V1 is better.
V1 had easy top access to a laptop without opening the front cover. This was super convenient. V2 stores the laptop inside like every other messenger bag out there. Fighting with the front cover every time is a pain. V1 had super easy means to adjust the shoulder strap. V2 is inferior. The strap buckles don’t hold firm and strap slides loose. I had to double loop. The strap to keep it secure. Adjusting the strap length through the buckle is a pain when V1 was much easier. The pockets to secure the extra strap length are quite useless. The straps are slick and pull right out of the pockets. V1 had nice places to store pens; V2 is lacking such places. V1 would stand up on its own. V2 tends to tip over. V1 had side pockets which nicely held water bottles. V2 requires storing any water bottle inside with your gear (not a great option).
I like V2 but I loved V1.

Solid and versatile
on October 28, 2022

I spent sort of an absurd amount of time recently trying to find the best bag for my newly upgraded camera set up. Goal #1 was for it be versatile, easy to use, and durable. Goal #2 (a close second) was for it to look nice at the same time (something that can't be said for an awful lot of bags out there.
For starters, this bag appears to be bomb-proof. I can't imagine it ever wearing out or failing. Hopefully my kids (grandkids) will eventually like it too. The origami dividers, thoughtfully placed pockets, opening clasp, etc. also all easily check the versatility box for me. Good looks are subjective, but to me it's great and looks refined and extremely well made. Ask me again in a few years, but for now this checks all of my boxes and then some.

Food Photographer Here: This bag is the bees knees

First off, I'm pretty picky when it comes to what I wear and this bag looks awesome. I love form, but I also love function - and this bag has lots of great ideas built-in. I love the tie down straps (and their mounting points), the magnets that help daily function, and the keychain quick release. I can fit a 70-200 2.8 + R5 w/ 24-70 2.8 + Macbook Pro and feel comfortable riding my bike to and from work.
The only thing missing is a place to mount keys on the left side pocket (I am a lefty). As a work-around, I just looped the keychain tether around the camera mount location and the keys will still store nicely in the zipper pocket. NOICE!
I would recommend this to a friend!

Unusable cross-body strap
on October 5, 2022
Posted by: David
from Milwaukee, WI
I have used the previous messenger bag for ~5 years, usually on a bike where I need the cross-body strap. With the new design it doesn't work. The way the shoulder strap is oriented, the cross-body strap twists the should strap and leads to the metal part of the buckle digging into my chest. I had to return it and go back to my old bag (fraying but still usable). Other changes from the v1 were a mix of good & bad.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

The search for a work bag is over!
on September 22, 2022

from Philadelphia Pa
When I purchased this bag in 2020 I was heavily searching for the best looking most durable bag and could not find anything until I met a random stranger in Disney with the coolest camera bag I’ve ever seen. I wanted a laptop bag but he was using it as a camera bag and could not say enough good things about it. After using this bag consistently over the past few years, I also can not say enough good things about it. Stylish, durable and so well thought out! The zipper placements, pockets, movable inserts- this bag is so convenient.
I would recommend this to a friend!

They Really Stand by Lifetime Warranty

I had purchased the original Everyday Messenger years ago and the zipper started to fail. When I reached out to customer support with a picture they didn't hesitate to send a replacement of this upgraded product and everything I needed to ship the old one back.
