The Everyday Tote is my new favorite PD bag, especially for commuting/EDC/travel. It's more versatile than the Messenger given its slightly larger volume and external organization, while also being nominally more secure and more weatherproof. It works just as well as a camera bag as the Messenger.
It is built to the same standards as all PD bags—so durable fabric, smooth zippers, and double-stitched in places you'd want it to be. It holds up well when loaded, doesn't crumple when empty, and in almost every instance sits upright no matter how it's packed.
The only improvements I would like to see are a more robust Camera Clip mount like you get on the Everyday Sling and a slightly wider laptop opening just to make stowing easier; otherwise it is an excellent and thoroughly underrated bag.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Used as a work bag

I have been using this bag for a couple months now for work and it’s great! The shoulder strap is comfortable. It has great storage features inside, plus the dividers that I used to make space for my water bottle. Only wish is the side pockets and extra storage pockets within were deeper and there was a place to store multiple pens.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Bit of a Miss

Let me start by saying I think the designers at Peak Design are truly wizards! I have the entire collection of bags from the travel line along with a few camera slings and other accessories (straps, cuff, capture…etc). Sadly for the first time I feel the 15l tote missed the mark in a couple areas. First off it is tight when you attempt to get your camera out of the bag. Secondly, the external lash straps may support the weight of a a light jacket but oddly not of the peak travel tripod. I had it come almost completely undone a few times during my last trip. Fortunately, I had strung the tripod case through the strap. All of this being said I still love the look of the bag, it’s really well built with lovely considerations like convienant and plentiful pockets and surprising expansion/holding power
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Great camera tote.

I love my Everyday Tote. I would like a longer “shoulder strap” so I can more easily carry as a cross-body. Another idea is to create an adapter that has the shoulder strap clip to an anchor so you can use a Peak Design camera strap.

ALMOST the perfect travel bag!

Please please please make a 17-20L version!!
I LOVE this bag. I haven't had luck with PD backpacks, but this tote is PERFECT for carrying 3 lenses and a large camera body. I appreciate the durable material, light weight, and cute design. However, I also carry a laptop (15 inch), and it's a PAIN getting it in to the bag with a camera in there. If the bag were a touch taller and a touch deeper/wider (to better accommodate a laptop AND camera gear) it would be perfect! Might also be nice to have a water bottle option.
