I'm 3 years into using my second everyday backpack, after getting 4 years out of my first one. This generation bag has been perfectly durable, hardly any signs of wear, no technical or quality problems, and I still think it stands out in a huge crowded market that has sprung up around camera bags. The 30L is the perfect bag for my telephoto lens and I love the versatility that the interior offers. Wondering if I'll ever need a 3rd one?
As a student i can say that this backpack is perfect for daily use. The way it is designed is really good to keep everything organized and accessible. The materials are pretty resistible, my only complaint is that the main metal lock (or however you call it) get scratched easily. But besides that I really recommend it.
Brought several months ago to replace my travel backpack. I got the 30L. So far so good. The video was great in helping me set it up for the first time. Was just a tiny bit deep so fitting under the seat so upon return moved the dividers at a slight slant a fit fine. Might depend on the airlines and class. love. the adjustable depth for my laptop and not need to bring an extra sleeve for it. Same area ac combated my reader. easy to access as I tend to return with everything packed top the max. Easy cleanable material and love the straps to attach a coat or my rumple( down blanket). love all the pockets. The latch I can do one handed now that I have mastered it and I do have arthritis. love that the straps are kept in place when not in use by magnets, so m much more manageable. I'm sure I will find the best spots for favorite things in the multiple pockets.
I had doubts buying this bag. I own it for a few months now and am happy I do. I commute to my study on a motorcycle Monday to Friday. More than half an hour on the freeway. I had doubts about the bag being waterproof but it totally works fine riding through heavy rain. Even though I’m not a photographer, this is a very handy bag! I do advise to also buy the hip belt.
I saw this backpack once in-person and my obsession finally paid off a year later when I actually purchased one for myself. There's no words to really describe this bag. It's truly just in a league above any backpack I've ever seen.
I have used by Everyday Backpack for tech, camera, and EDC use for the last 2 years and I have not had a issue with it at all. It comes with me when I travel. The fact that it works with all of my other luggage helps more that words can express. At any given time I have 2 cameras (A7C and Pocket3) as well as. 14 inch macbook pro, ipad air 5, headphones, and other notesbooks, cards, and equipment. Holds it all without fail.
I was not aware how just having a side access changed the way I take photos. Sometimes I am unsure of opening my bag in London to take my camera out. Bit more confident now.
