I used used to use the 20L everyday backpack V1 and V2, then i got the 15L everyday backpack zip in bone colour. Its size is way suitable for me as a 168cm tall Asian. The capacity is fine for my everyday carrying, but not if you carry a lot of A4 sized stuff this may be less suitable compared with the 20L. The main slight noticeable feature are the zips that makes top of the bag entry easier but no expansion like the 20L. Also there's no magnetic back to home the straps in the body. Beware that then bone colour does get dirty easily
The design of Everyday v2 Backpack is very modern and convenient. The excellent build quality and the functionality to put in/out simply. Designed for both the dedicated photographer, and the everyday commuter, this new addition to the Peak Design Everyday line of bags is ideal for everyday carry and light photo carry, making it the perfect bag to bring for just about any occasion. It is a functionally simpler version of their famous Everyday Backpack and includes 2 separate configurable FledFold dividers to keep all photo, drone, and everyday gear organized, protected, and safely secure instead of bunched at the bottom. The outer shell is made of 100% recycled 400D weatherproof materials to keep everything dry during a downpour.
I bought the 15L version and although it is slightly smaller than I expected it is a great backpack if you’re not carrying too much stuff. I was able to fit a bulkier 13 inch laptop with some struggles but overall I’m very satisfied with the quality of the product. I think the 20L version is a much better option for everyday carry. This is my third PD product and I’ll be coming back for more if I can find them at a discount. Shipping to Mexico took about 10 days so it can be improved with international carriers.
Excellent bag that covers all of my digital nomad use cases, including flights, bike commute to cafes and coworking spaces, conferences, multi-hour city walks, and even multi-day hikes.
I had read rave reviews before for these backpacks, but holding one in person was another experience altogether. If you think you've had a high quality backpack in the past, I challenge you to think again - This piece by Peak Design continues to surprise and delight weeks after I bought it. The quality of materials and craftsmanship is everywhere (and I mean, everywhere!), not just on a zipper or two. I bought this pack for my husband who is using it for travel in addition to everyday use between his office and a construction site. The bag has held up and still looks as new as when we bought it. I'm glad we found your site when we did - I can't wait to buy a bag for myself too!
I purchased this bag because I love everything about Peak Design and I preferred the aesthetic of the zip to that of the Everyday Backpack (EB). The design, in particular the accessibility, is second to none. However, if I knew then what I know now, I would have purchased the EB instead of the Zip because of one feature—the magnetic shoulder straps. My understanding was that it was just a different design, not a step down from the EB. I travel a lot and thought the Zip would have them, but it didn’t. I used a friend’s EB and it makes a big difference for keeping things neat and orderly when stowed on a roller-board.
I've had this bag for a year now and use it either as a camera bag or for trips. I like that it's not too bulky but holds a lot of stuff. Very sleek design with no loose straps and very comfy to carry on your shoulders. It's great!
