I bought my first Everyday Backpack V2 30L more than 2 years ago and it still look brand new despite my light to medium use during my work commute and the numerous photography day trips I've been on. Every zipper and latch still functions smoothly like day 1. At first I thought the backpack was overpriced for what it is, but now I understand the quality of a truly well designed and built product. You know what they say, you get what you paid for!
I’ve been using this for the last several trips and it is sturdy as well as flexible. Any travel dirt simply dusts off. It can hold all of my gear and reach needed for travel by air land and sea.
I have been using an everyday backpack everyday for 7 years since it was on kickstarter, it is still functioning well just the zipper is getting old and loose. Just contact them regarding this issue. Just a few steps and questions, they sent me the new replacement bag. Love PD. never regret getting a PD product.
One of, if not the best bags I've ever owned. I was given a V1 as a gift 7 years ago and it lasted forever, showing minimal wear except one place where the stitching came undone. I've since replaced it with a V2 and it's even better. Solid construction, not to heavy, and keeps my things safe and dry!
I travel a lot and my backpacks take a beating. Not the case with the Everyday Backpack. I've had mine for a little more than three years. It still looks new. What I like: I removed some of the dividers to create a larger upper section and smaller section at the bottom for my cables and whatnot. I can open the bag from the top or any side for quick access. I am frequently asked about the bag at airports and coffee shops when people see me digging through it. The build quality is outstanding, everything is tight, and the magnets are really strong.
After two years plus, this bag is definitely a favorite. The one-handed top loading design, with horizontal decoders, is very convenient for my daily office usage. In general, the bag is always there for me, with weather resistant and endless possibilities of how to carry more and more staff and withstand time with ease. Downsides will include the bulky nature of this ragged materials, somewhat heavy weight, less than optimal easy accessibility to daily small things. One more thing, one of the magnet embedded inside the sholder straps, went loose. PD replaced the entire bag without any question asked. Super impressive level of service, and stands behind the brand promise. Made me super happy.
This has been one of my best purchases ever. I’ve used this bag for 4 years while travelling around the world and it’s never let me down, it’s easy to use, reliable and then when the zipper started to wear, I was able to replace it without any questions.
