Literal everyday pack with unique & great features
on October 23, 2024

I've used my PD Everyday Backpack for nearly 7 years now and it's quite literally my go-to everyday bag. I love the clean design and functional features that make packing the bag kind of a fun activity (creating different compartments to keep items organized). The origami-inspired interior is both unique and very practical for organization!
I would recommend this to a friend!

Great pack that I do carry everyday. As a musician, its modularity helps keep all my gear organized. I do wish the internal magnetic pockets either had 2 magnets spaced to help seal the pocket further or a zipper and I would love if there was a rainfly that fit this bag.

I bought this bag for travel and hiking with my camera gear. I'm still trying to dial in the organization but, so far it has worked great for flights. I wish the flaps of the side openings were more flexible so they stay open on their own. Maybe if the zipper was extended?

Great design

I held on to the V1 backpack for as long as I could because I loved it so much, and when it came time to replace, I was a little sad that the only option was the V2 bag (this one). Whatever qualms I had about the V2 disappeared within two uses of the bag, and I absolutely LOVE this thing now. Beautiful, sturdy, efficient.

Exactly what I needed!

I have been using this bag foor a couple weeks now and am very satisfied with the product.
I am a family doctor and use this bag for my home visits for which it is absolutely perfect!
The backpack is spatious, sturdy but not to heavy and clearly of high quality.
The dividers are extremely convenient since I have some tools that are different sizes and shapes, which would normally be difficult to keep organized.
I will recommend this bag to all my colleagues!

Good But Not As Good As Version 1.

Pros: Design feels a tad lighter, slimmer, and more flat/compact than version one. I like the additional organization pockets in the top zipper “sunglasses” pocket, and the magnets throughout the bag to stow the straps and open some of the pockets (inner and side). The top zipper pocket is easier to open when holding the bag with the handle and looks like it’ll last long due to the design.
Cons: The laptop and tablet pockets aren’t as deep as previously which hinders the opening of the top zipper compartment pocket. The water bottle pockets are smaller/stretch out less than previously so can’t snuggly fit a Stanley or Nalgene water bottle. The inner side pockets have very little organization, and feel too tight. The shoulder straps no longer have loops to tighten easily by putting your thumbs through. Materials feel less premium and inner lining is already showing signs or wear after 2 weeks.
Overall thoughts: While I appreciate the attempt to make V2 a bit lighter and slimmer as well as some of the new features like the magnets, top zip organization and the idea behind the adjustable laptop pocket cradle system, I feel like the bag has done away with all the features that made it truly unique and functional as a travel bag and every day bag.
The inner side pockets are exposed while the previous version would zip up to protect your gear better and give extra storage space. The storage there seems awkward to access now and the organization pockets within the zipper pocket are small and useless other than for maybe sd cards or a battery whereas you could previously fit portable ssd’s, and many other things organized separately instead of being catchall pockets where everything just floats around in a jumble. The top zip pocket while easier to open, is harder and more awkward to access now due to the placement and how much higher up the laptop and tablet pockets seem to sit which block access. The side water bottle pockets are much narrower making it harder to fit slightly bigger bottles (that fit fine in v1). The straps are harder/more typical to adjust now due to the lack of thumb loop. The inner lining materials while probably lighter weight, feel less sturdy and less premium now and already have scratches after two weeks of basic use which the v1 didn’t show after years.
It’s still a good product that offers features a lot of other bags don’t and I appreciate the designers trying to innovate or improve, but this feels like an instance of messing with a good thing for the sake putting out a new design. While it functions as a daily carry for work purposes, I don’t think I’ll be able to use this as a weekend/travel bag for filming (gopros and accessories in side pockets, and clothes, hammock etc in main compartment) as I did with the V1 mainly due to the inner side pockets having done away with most of the organizational storage and like the top zipper pocket, being awkward to access. I’ve found myself more frustrated with using and accessing pockets in this bag in 2 weeks than I ever was for years with the v1. Still a solid bag depending on usage and if it’s your first everyday backpack.
I would recommend this to a friend!
