I did a lot of research before purchasing this backpack. I wanted something for my cameras and a couple of lenses, but wanted a clean design that was well engineered. I was a little reluctant about the side openings, but after my first use, I'm sold. It's easy to handle, holds more than I will need, and is perfect for my application. I especially like the ease on and off my roll-on travel bag as I fly a lot and this is perfect. It has the quality I've come to expect with PD.
First off, I would like to mention that I usually do not write reviews for products as everyone has a different opinion on what works well and does not for themselves. However, I wanted to point out that Peak Design has done right with standing behind the quality of their bag and provides excellent customer support. The backpack meets/exceeds my everyday requirement for work and when I had an issue with the bag (defect with the strap), Peak Design quickly resolved it. Again, thank you for the wonderful products and customer support!
For my camera bag I needed one that meet my main requirements which include reasonable price, sturdy fabrics, pockets for all my gears, large internal spaces and this bag was exactly what I was looking for, which met all of my requirement criteria.
The backpack itself is incredible. The build quality, all of the neat features are really useful, the pockets and layout are really intuitive. I can say that the straps are just not beefy enough for the pack. They're not terrible, just not as good as they should be.
I did a lot of planning before buying this bag and it was well worth it; I love the functionality and design of this bag. I look forward to buying more peak design products in the future.
This product absolutely met my expectations - I needed a backpack that was capable of carrying my 15.6in laptop along with my camera equipment and not to mention, looks great at the same time. I love that I can customize the interiors by adjusting the partitions, which make it extremely flexible to anyone's inclination and or equipment. Another great feature is that I can access my things from the sides while the bag never leaves my shoulders. It truly lives up to its name as an Everyday Backpack!
