2 Key Critiques
on September 30, 2024
Posted by: John

I love Peak Design and will still buy their products. But please consider these for next iterations!
1. The luggage slot on this bag goes in sideways. This is inconvenient because 1). one side of the bag is unreachable, 2). accessing the top back slit pocket results in contents falling out and 3). the slot to put the luggage handle through is larger than my luggage bags, resulting in a slide from side to side making it difficult to balance the bag.
2. The bag does not fully open from the back. while it is okay most of the time, it is much more practical to be able to pull the whole back part out to access contents, especially if it's in the middle of the middle (not easily accessible from the sides or the top).
Otherwise the bag is sturdy, looks great, has many features and I still use it everyday.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Verified Purchase:Yes
This pack is definitely one of the most thought out packs I've ever seen. Have to lug around a massive amount of gear with a laptop and be able to get to everything with ease is a feat only mastered by the Peak Everyday backpack!
Congrats to the team responsible for the design. This is a true winner!

Having bought this a couple weeks ago, I was heavily indecisive between this pack and the WANDRD Prvke backpack. I decided to pick this one with the promises of high quality and detail. It did not disappoint, there is no doubt that the detail and quality in the materials chosen and the intricate details of the backpack truly make the pack stand out. I found it admirable that Peak is pushing the market in a different direction, I found the shelves to be a really interesting new way to use a backpack, approaching it from 3 directions as opposed to the primitive top sack opening. I also appreciated the magnetic touches on this pack, the mag latch and the little pocket locks are a really nice addition that is lacking in many techpacks these days.
I did however find some capabilities to be lacking of this pack, I felt that it was not the most intuitive camera carry, however its modularity allowed it to delve a little bit into photography gear carry, but enough to be able to be used for other cases. I did find my lenses to be too small and not secure in the shelves, sometimes my gear would slip down from the shelf to shelf too.
I think the straps need more love, I've seen plenty of reviews saying it isn't the best, and its integration with the capture clip could use some more love as well. I typically use most of the back day to day and the strap often leaves me a little sore.

Great bag and support from Peak Design

I purchased this bag about a month or so ago after seeing it on YouTube and it hasn’t disappointed. It’s certainly a lot more different from the backpacks I’ve used before but it works well as an everyday carry bag and excellently as a camera bag. Peak Design support was quick to reply to emails (within a few days or even sooner) and helped answer the simplest of questions I had to even getting a warranty replacement done for some minor issues with the initial unit. Overall a great product from a great team. Can’t wait to see what further improvements this bag will get in the future.

Top Notch Quality

Have been using for several months now and honestly I'm still finding little extras every week that just make this bag a pleasure to use. Small pockets line larger ones, many locations for any sized items, multiple ways to enter the large portion of the bag, multiple laptop/tablet sleeves--its a just a pure pleasure to use.

Too much hype but functionally lacking.

I love PEAK DESIGN and all of the ten or so items I have purchased and used daily. The quality and functionality of every product have been great until I recently purchased the Everyday Backpack. I have tried for over a month to arrange the bag in a manner where I felt my expensive camera and lens were well protected but with no success. All of the videos were convincing and I even purchased individual foam covers for my expensive prime lens, but even that didn't give me the proper fit or confidence I expected. The bag is very well made and the design concept appeared in line with all of the other PEAK DESIGN items I have purchased and love, however, protecting over 7K of equipment (especially prime mirrorless lens) requires more than this bag offers. The buyer's remorse led me back to a new Pelican Case that even holds my PD Tripod and the other great PD items I have purchased. I did put a PD sticker on my new Pelican.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Meticulously Designed

I am a backpack enthusiast, I own several backpacks and I buy and sell them to try new ones. The everyday backpack v2 is always in my rotation. I am not into photography but the ingenious access system makes this work for a variety of settings (office pack, diaper bag). It is on the expensive side but the design is so good that other established companies have tried to imitate it. I love the versatility of the organization. I dislike that the material will pick up dust and sand, noticeably on the black model.

The best, but not perfect
on February 19, 2021
Posted by: Anonymous
Everyone pretty much summed up the pros and I agree with them all.
The only gripe I have with this otherwise perfect bag, is its weight.
Maybe I should have bought the 20L, but filling this bag will get you a heavy everyday load quickly.
Also - “pro tip” - think thoroughly about your daily carry, because this bag will help you organize your stuff in such a brilliant way that you will wind up with a lot of empty space - and I am a heavy loader.
Especially after I paired it with a tech pouch (and that product my friend - is imo PERFECT.)
So to sum up - think twice before getting the 30L, and this bag is an absolute MUST.
