The best urban EDC backpack!
on March 9, 2026
Posted by: PJ
from London
I have several backpacks from various, expensive brands. And let me tell you right off the bat, there's nothing better for urban commuting. A laptop 16”, tech pouch, umbrella, water, and extra space for a jacket, food, or small purchases. And you have everything you need, nothing more, nothing less. Quick access from the top is fantastic. Access from the sides without having to pull everything out is a masterpiece. The shoulder straps are quite narrow and compact, but would I want anything else for this purpose? Absolutely not, that's exactly how they should be: compact and ergonomic. The magnets are 50% of the solution; they ensure they're always in place and out of the way. This keeps the backpack compact. There are no dangling straps, and the aesthetics are simply stunning. Zippers... I haven't seen any better. Even in much more expensive backpacks, these are the best. The genius of this backpack is its simplicity and practicality. For example backpacks with lots of zippers, pockets, and comfortable straps I use for travel. For EDC, they're too complicated, and access isn't as quick or easy. It's great that the company doesn't cut corners and doesn't try to push cheap plastic components. Everyday Backpack 20L is a great product. Very well thought out and made of high-quality materials, I highly recommend it!
I would recommend this to a friend!

Wonderful fit for gear, terrible fit for comfort!

from Anchorage, AK
I love the way I can fit and easily access two cameras with large lenses in this bag at the same time, and that it has space for other items including a laptop. Unfortunately, I hate wearing the bag for any longer than a few minutes. I even bought the waist strap and it does nearly nothing to transfer the weight onto the hips. Considering how well the bag can accomodate heavy gear, it seems crazy that there was no effort made in load distribution. Please consider redesigning this bag with a functional hip belt!
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

I bought this bag about a month or so ago and I'm very impressed with not only the quality but how easily I can access my stuff as well as storing stuff! Fantastic bag, good quality material.

Never looked back... just bought more
on April 10, 2026

Bought it 4 years ago and never looked back. Still serves me flawlessly today with no issues. Only improvement was that I wish the little plastic clips they include for the attachment points were made of metal. Had one snap once (when my motorcycle fell on it, so fair enough) but still, metal gives that more premium feel and is more robust.
Proud owner of 5 peak design bags today.
Otherwise perfect.
I would recommend this to a friend!

good but niggles
on April 10, 2026
Posted by: Andrew
So it's way more comfortable than the mk1 and yes it think the little pockets in v1 are a far better idea but this feels lighter when full of camera gear even though I upsized from 20L mk1 to 30L mk 2. I also like the tidiness of the mag straps. However my niggle is the capture digs into my shoulder when fitted to shoulder strap. so that's annoying and I don't feel the tripod fits in well either so the fail for me as is paying extra for a hip belt which isn.t available in sustainable coyote either.
