I had broken zippers on my original everyday backpack v1 which was more than three years old. I was reminded of the lifetime warranty at peak design by a friend and just posted a warranty claim. Without hesitation they refunded me a whole new everyday backpack V2 in just a few working days which I am planning to use forever now. The build quality of the v2 is even better than the v1, you really can see the improvements. Wonderful customer service, fantastic design, great experience.
I just came back from a 3000km+ trip around the Balkans with my 2021 MT-09 SP. The Everyday Backpack survived all kinds of torture - dirt, rain and highway speeds. I love it! Everything that I needed for a week-long trip fit nicely inside and the external carry came in handy as well, because I attached a waterproof pack on the outside!
I bought this over a year ago and couldn't be happier. The backpack is a super high-quality product and suits all my business needs. There's plenty of space and people on public transport stop asking me what kind of backpack it is.
The backpack is comfortable and visually appealing. Good construction materials. Storage space is less than what I had expected partly due to the rigid shape and curvature of the interior. No outward expansion ability. Overall, a good product. Equipment carried: Nikon Z9, 70-200 f2.8, 24-70 f2.8, Profoto A10 Flash, misc photo accessories.
I use my everyday backpack for everyday carry, travel, and occasionally for hiking if its a shorter day hike, but it wouldn't be ideal for long hikes (please PD release a hiking specific bag!). I love this bag, I love the features, and I LOVE the look of it. Highly recommend!
This bag has held up so well and still looks like new. The build quality is second to none. I can take this bag on a full day hike and it holds up comfort wise from morning to evening.
For years I wondered why my friend only had positive things to say about his Everyday Backpack. Now I know why. This 20L bag is built to last, and every detail is thought of. It fits my 12.9" Surface Pro and 16" Laptop perfectly, with a little dump pouch perfect for a battery pack or at the airport to dump your stuff into. The material is durable, and the DWR coating is C0 (not C8/forever chemicals-based) so it keeps your stuff dry without leaving a terrible impact on the environment. Love the dividers and dual access, additional straps and all! I have no faults with this bag to be honest, it's perfect for work commuting and carrying camera gear alike. Maybe make the straps a bit thicker/more comfortable? Not an issue on the 20L but perhaps on the 30L with more stuff. Thanks PD for making an amazing bag!!!
This backpack held up during my first trip with it to Norway, and performed exactly as advertised. It was the perfect size for my camera, two lenses, small camera gear, personal items, and tripod. The fabric held up against the wind and rain, and remained sealed. It was comfortable and adjustable, even with added weight. One thing which could be improved on is making the side pockets a tad larger to better accomodate non-PD tripods.
