Great all round bag - and a good camera messenger
on May 30, 2022
Posted by: Dan
from Copenhagen, DK
The Everyday Messenger V2 replaces a Timbuk2 messenger that is nearing 20 years old. I wanted a messenger that holds a laptop, has customizable compartments for camera gear, has a cinch to prevent bag swinging around when cycling, some degree of water resistance, a carry handle, and a minimalistic look. Secure fastners and having a number of internal compartments is very important to me, too.
I'm a very picky bag buyer and do a lot of research (I follow Carryology, /r/ManyBaggers and other reviewers) before selecting a bag, so this bag has really met my needs.
For travel (flights), the bag is excellent in carrying my electronics and travel docs. It holds my essentials (charging cables, water bottle, mints, medicines, etc.) and fits neatly under the seat in front of me.
For trips in town, the bag is good even for small grocery trips.
For commuting, the cinch keeps the bag from swinging around and it holds all of my essentials: laptop, Moleskine notebook, headset, mouse, AC charger, and some other things.
I keep at least one of the dividers in my bag, so I can organize things easily. One of the things I detest is the trouble in rummaging around for something buried in a bag.
The bag is slightly smaller than my older Timbuk2 messenger, but it forces me to be a bit more minimalistic and organized - and with its features, this bag is much more sensible for an all-round bag.
I also have a PD sling and dual plate for my mirrorless, and the bag is even more versatile having a mount point on the bag (actually there are 2) for the Capture Clip.

I’ve used the Peak Design Everyday Messenger everyday on set for the last several years. It’s tough, and when I broke a part of it, Peak Design was there with fantastic service to stand behind their products. Best bag.

This bag comes with us on every family outing. It easily holds all the stuff we need, including my Sony A7RIII, snacks, a light jacket for my daughter, water bottle, an iPad, along with all the other things you need for a day out with the family.

Best warranty follow up

I have been using this bag (v1) on a daily basis for years, fully loaded on my bike.
A worn strap was unavoidable and Peak Design's warranty has followed through in Europe without a hitch.

Fantastic flexible bag!

I backed the kickstarter for the original everyday messenger, and used it daily — commuting, camera bag, and logged thousands of travel miles. The laptop compartment zipper finally failed last fall, and I contacted Peak for a replacement. They sent the new messenger bag, with internal laptop comprtment, and.a few other improvements I hadn’t realized were needed.

Had this for years. still going strong. Still clean and looks new. that considered, its crazy they sell their stuff for the price they do. Peak Design has replaced every bag, every storage in my kit.

I bought this bag about a year ago and I use it for mainly for school. Fits my laptop perfectly snug and I can toss in about 3 large books or 9 small books. A bunch of nifty little pockets for all the pens and calculators I use too!
