I've put it through the wringer

Size Bought:

30L

Excellent quality, amazing customization, and every feature you could want. The full side access from both sides is unbelievably useful, and the section dividers let you customize the bag for whatever you're carrying. It's awesome. 10/10, no notes, Peak continues to crush.

Absolutely essential and an incredible warranty

The 30L backpack is perfect for hauling camera gear and accessories. I used it on a European trip last year and loved that when it was fully packed, it still fit under the seat in front of me on an airplane (Not on regional jets, though). The big reason to buy this: the warranty. Its magnetic strap holder holds the straps tight to the pack, and the flaps don't flop around. Something happened to my original bag, and a magnet moved out of position. When querying about a fix, Peak Design sent me a new backpack. There are some things I would like to see improved. There should be a pen holder in the top of the compartment so the user can put a pen there or in the computer slot. The side panels won't stay open when unzipped, meaning you have to use your arm to keep it open while looking for an object. That makes finding and retrieving an item a two-handed action. These enhancements don't take away from the bag's strengths and features. I'd buy it again...and, in fact, may buy the new roller bag. The case takes a lot of beating from being shoved under seats or in bins, pushed around the back of the SUV, and being on the ground when shooting on location. Even after over a year of such rough treatment, the exterior case showed no sign of wear or damage. Even dirt, and coffee and salsa stains were easily cleaned off. I'm 5'8, and the 30L is comfortable and fits well on my body and narrow shoulders.

Great bag for urban/light hiking use

I've been looking at this pack for probably a couple of years now, and finally pulled the trigger a few months ago. I wanted a backpack that allowed for better camera gear accessibility, and I appreciate the many thoughtful features of this one. I recently took it on a vacation trip that included some hiking and lots of time in airports. Things I really like - Visually, the design is very clean. The camera accessibility is great. You have the option of access from either side, and you can set up the partitions to suit your gear. Personally I'd like a better separation between the top section and the bottom section, as small items can fall down past the flexible partition into the camera section. I ended up using one of the Peak Design gear pouches to keep smaller items in place. I like the little zipper "locks". Whether they'd completely deter a thief, I doubt it, but they'd definitely slow them down a bit. With regards to the fit - I'm on the taller side (72"/182 cm), and I found the waist strap to fit higher than I'd like. It's not so much a hip belt as a waist belt - for me at least. I appreciate the fact that it can be stowed in the back of the pack, but some sacrifices are made in terms of comfort and load carrying. Carrying an SLR, a telephoto lens, wide angle lens, a smaller point and shoot camera, Nalgene bottle, a jacket, snacks, and some other gear -- I found that the narrow shoulder straps were less comfortable than my regular backpack, and I would think twice about taking it on an multi-hour hikes over rough terrain. The non-stretchy side pockets are also a bit limited if you've got some larger lenses/gear in the pack. In summary... if you're a gear nerd, you'll appreciate the features and thought that's gone into this pack. As an urban/light day trip hiking pack, this would be great. For longer trips with more gear, you'd probably want something bigger and with more padding. Just rec Those are my initial impressions from a 10-day trip, and I have yet to use it for cycling and other things that I do.

Great quality, but not Coyote!

I am a fan of FDE and Coyote colors, and they do vary slightly from product to product; one thing Coyote isnt supposed to be is gold. Honestly, the bag is top quality, but them calling it Coyote is very misleading! If you want a bright gold bag that catches everyone's attention and says "I have expensive stuff in me, steal me, steal me!" Then this is the color wave for you! Otherwise, stick with black or gray.

One of the best backpacks available

The Peak Design Everyday Backpack 30L is a beautifully designed, versatile bag with exceptional build quality, making it perfect for photographers and commuters alike. Its innovative FlexFold dividers, weatherproof materials, and comfortable carry make organization and access effortless, elevating it above most other backpacks on the market.

Great camera backpack!

I’ve been eyeing this backpack for a while and finally bought one, in coyote. I love all the organizations that this bag offers, tried it for a hike even! I knocked off one star because of two things: 1. The laptop compartment is SO TIGHT! Way too tight, I’m barely able to stick an iPad Pro with keyboard case and nothing else. 2. The side pockets are also SO TIGHT!! I had to struggle to stick an 18-oz water bottle in there.

Great Quality!

I recieved my bag after my previous bag got messed up through warranty. The customer service was amazing and understanding. The new bag is good quality and no issues! I like some of the features from V1, but overall I have been enjoying using the new bag.

Never had better backpack

100% satisfactory! There is no better backpack. Quality of products used to make this backpack are amazing! Flight with me half of the world and it is in great condition!

Great Bag

Great bag with the hip belt added. Needed to think a little outside the box to pack it with my camera gear the first few times I used it. The will hold more than you think.
