It could be a great bag but not for everyone
on June 3, 2025

I’ve been always Osprey person because they bags are great in every detail.
I got Peak Design to be my all day long backpack for laptop, camera and lens and some accessories. I knew that I don’t need to use inside compartment dividers. Material looks robust and midnight color is my favourite.
First issue, my 17” laptop did not fit inside the back pocket. Unfortunately, this is my work laptop which I carry every day. Back compartment was big enough for 13”mac.
I liked small side pockets inside the main compartment but I didn’t find anything practical to store inside.
Full side zipper might be great if used with internal dividers to easily access camera. I didn’t find practical use for them because if I need quick shots I carry a camera outside.
Shoulder straps don’t hold and they need to be tightened often. It’s no big deal but still annoying compared to other brands.
Side outside pockets should be higher and made of mesh to be more flexible. I ended up carrying there only napkins because a bottle was falling out when I bend.
I did not find practical use from side holders. I carry backpacks on the back, not as a suitcase.
And finally the biggest disappointment is the lack of ventilation on back so it can’t be used for hiking (considering higher pace).

It’s the first backpack I was giving away to my sister. The bag was fine but not worth the money and there were more disappointments than wow moments.
The cost of the backpack is so high compared to Osprey or Deuter and they have many years of experiences.
Peak Design could find their customers but mostly from photographers.

Bought this bag about a month ago….not a big camera guy. I use it for work and I also use it as a personal item bag on trips.

Outstanding product. Well thought through, high usability. I use it as my office everyday bag. Works really well together with the tech pouch.

Great Backpack for my daily stuf and camera carry

My everyday backpack when I do city tours with my guests or when I just want to take pictures alone.
Normally I use the Everyday zip for the transport of my iPad pro, an additional sweater or a jacket in an XS ultra light pack Cube fits perfectly in this backpack.
My Fujifilm X-S20 with a 27mm F1.2 from Viltrox as my street photography Erveryday camera.
Or a Fujifilm X-H 2 with 17-70 zoom.
In addition, I have a 0.5l drinking bottle with me and a few camera filters in a filter bag.
For me the perfect daypack.

Great looks, challenging space
on March 22, 2025

Bought this a little while ago looking for a sleek unbranded pack. After numerous trips to Dubai and London I find this bag quite hard to get on with. There are some great points, the look, the comfort and the top zip pocket. After that it becomes hard to use day to day. There are literally no interior pockets apart from the side inner zip ones and the back laptop compartment is far too tight. I can get the laptop in (14 Mac) and little else. So my iPad and Kindle have to go in the front, eating valuable space. There is falls short of space due to the top lid design and the 20L size feels small very quickly. Even removing the dividers does not help much and I tend to use these to have my headphones at the bottom and the kindle in the middle. So, as a camera and lend back with a very small waterproof in the top, ok, but as a daily carry, unfortunately, hard to recommend.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

2 for practically 5 for looks and quality

5 stars for quality and design but only 2 for practicality.
Have had the 20L version for a while and use for work. The main compartment is fine, especially with the dividers removed, if a little lacking in places to put things.
The main issue is the back portion where the laptop goes, which is just too snug. My 14 Mac just slides in, with difficulty due to a short top zip, but once in there is no room for anything else. Kindle. Nope. iPad. Nope. Even though there is nominal pockets for them.
So ultimately I’m going to have to sell because for anyone with more than a small superthin laptop it’s an absolute pain. Looks great though.

I bought my backpack in November and it quite possibly is the best backpack I've ever owned. So convenient and accessible. I love the side access on both sides. I highly recommend this backpack. I got the gray one and I love the color

Extremely functional without being over engineered

I've had this bag for about 2 weeks now and have been using it everyday, as the name suggests. The functionality of the full single zipper is amazing and makes organizing your gear super fast and accessible. The laptop pocket is one of the easiest to access from any bag I've used. If I could change a single thing, it would be the shoulder straps. The straps themselves start to get a little uncomfortable after a long walk while carrying gear (1 laptop, 1 camera body, 3 lenses, some camera accessories, and snacks). Overall I really love the bag, and even with the shoulder straps, I'd buy it again.
