This bag has almost everything I need for my everyday bag. The only things missing are a good place on the shoulder strap to place my capture clip and wide magnet on the magnetic closure pockets to help create a better seal when filled.
I’ve been lucky enough to have been on quite a few workshops since late last year. For air travel I have a rolling camera bag which I carry on and have also carried the 30L Everyday PK Back Pack on with some camera gear, lap top etc. Then on the days out shooting I carry all the gear I’m using in the Everyday Bag. It’s perfect camera (maybe two bodies), lenses, tripod, batteries etc. Love the quality, the side access, the pockets, outside pocket. Endless options for organization. I tried some others. But no contest: PKD Everyday 30L hands down winner.
This bag is well crafted and clever--but ultimately not a camera bag. The origami dividers, which are perfect in top-loaders like the Sling, leave the equipment rattling around in the backpack no matter how carefully they're configured. I also can't get over the strange placement of metal zippers on the interior of the side flaps right where the camera display or lens would sit. It's ultimately not really a camera bag, even if it would be a great bag for other purposes. I ended up sending it back.
Bought this three weeks ago. Love the looks and construction. Very versatile compartments. Holds my gears perfectly. The hip belt is a must for heavier loads. Incredible design. Very satisfied overall.
This is one of the most well thought out and cleverly designed pieces of gear I have every owned. Kudos to the design team who have covered almost all of the bases with innovative features, ease of use in a multifunction backpack. I have found it comfortable to wear, practical, and easy to organize. When I got the email with the link to a 30 minute product video I was thinking, who needs a 30 minute video on a bag. Well, there are so money features on this bag I never would have found, I am glad I watched.
Overly impressed with this bag, I wanted 'on the go' access without putting my bag down, something to travel with me everyday. I did my research on competitive products. the bag is higher priced than most but I received a high quality bag... I'd buy it again without a second thought. One of the best designed and made products I've purchased in a long while.
