unisex-adult Backpacks

Bags need to be different for different people. For me, I do not worry about travel in crowded buses or crowded markets. I want my stuff accessible. It’s pointless to have my sunglasses in some bag where I will never dig them out for the drive, likewise water, likewise earphones. So far, this bag seems excellent. There are 10(?) loops outside the bag where I can attach stuff by small carabiners that I need quick access to in the car, or at home. There are two pockets outside which for me, I use for sunglasses and water. Inside there are a bunch of pockets that are super secure for wallet, ipad, and smaller items. There is a key tether which I find very useful for a car key. It is quick to release from the bag, and likewise quick to reattach once done driving. All in all, a very stylish and well thought out bag.

I recently was traveling to Japan for 3 weeks, climbed Mt. Fuji in the rain with this bad boy and it held up no problem. I don’t understand the comments complaining about uncomfortable shoulder straps, I’ve had no issue with them and they are as comfortable as any backpack. I don’t have a camera but it has plenty of functional storage and kept everything dry, organized, and safe. The quality is also noticeably better than anything else on the market. Would highly recommend.

Update 2020-03-03: ========================================== Knocking down to 4 stars for the following reasons: -Comfort: may be improved. Fine for short trips, but I imagine a whole day of exploring would strain my back/shoulders more than other bags would. Could be the way I have it packed, but the way it rests on the back is a just a tiny bit off. -Utility: The side access/flaps do not open as much(wide) as those on v1. Therefore getting a camera out requires considerably more effort (and caution!) ========================================== Original review: Have been interested in the zip version ever since it was announced. Looks cleaner, a few hundred grams lighter. Improved straps -the old version of the Everyday Backpack really dug into my shoulder after a short while. Only con is lack of expandability which the normal Everyday Backpack has via the flap (and rungs). Aesthetics - 10 Subjective, but I really like the simplistic look of the zip. I’m 5’10 with a lanky build and the bag doesn’t feel too large nor too small when worn high. Just right. Utility - 9 Almost the same as the normal version. I think I could use an external easy-access pocket, but I’ve learned to make do. A pocket for a rainfly would’ve been awesome too. Durability - 9 I’ve only had mine for two months, but so far it’s held up well (black version). Any scuffs / stains are easily taken care of with a wet cloth. I know the ash will hold up better, but the black is still nice. Space - 9 This is a complete variable, since all of us will have different needs / gear. I have two bodies - a6600 + 24GM and A7R IV + 135GM. I have these two tucked vertically (divider in between) on the lower part of the bag.* I’ve reserved the top part as one large pocket for miscellaneous items. Space-wise the normal backpack would probably fare better especially when traveling when the wife and I tend to pick up an item or two. *With this set up, I can still carry the PD tripod on one external pocket Value - 8 PD products are always pricey, but you could get them with 10% or so discounts via affiliate links. Aesthetically I find them better than almost everything out there. There are other attractive bags from other brands but they tend to be excessively heavy (ex Lowepro freeline) All in all I happily recommend the 20L Zip.

I’m using this bag as my “personal bag” during airline travel. I bought the 15L and seems to be just right for light travel. Laptop sleeve is snug and a slightly rigid when wearing the bag. But the overall design is perfect. Great bag. Would recommend. UPDATE: I had a slight fray on one of the straps 1 year after purchase. I submitted a warranty claim and received a reply within 7 hours!! Along with the reply was notice of a new bag on its way! Amazing product even BETTER customer service. Can’t say enough good things about Peak Design as a brand overall!

wife loves it

I was looking for a bag that could multi-task as my airline "personal" item for an overseas trip, a day bag for excursions, and most important, I needed it to carry a small camera kit (camera body and two lenses) through it all. I found the bag to be sleek and comfortable, and the origami dividers to be very cleverly engineered and extremely adaptable to subdividing the main compartment in endless configurations. There's a lot to love. However, I spent hours experimenting with a way to configure the dividers to securely hold my camera kit and couldn't find any configuration that didn't feel like the detached lenses weren't doomed to shift around and flop out the side unless I was VERY careful when unzipping the main compartment doors. If you just want to throw in a snapshot camera with your day gear, there are ways to keep that fairly secure, particularly at the bottom. But if you have a multi-lens kit and expect this to function as a serious, secure camera carry, you will be disappointed. This is primarily an everyday, multi-purpose backpack (which is does very well, hence the product name), but I think the camera carry aspect of this bag is oversold.

You could probably guess that Peak Design's smallest backpack is, well, tiny. I was previously using a Peak Design 5L sling to carry my minimal camera setup - a Sony A7 III with an Sony FE 85 F1.8 and a Sony 28mm F2. I typically store my flash units in other bags, but I'd always keep a flash trigger, an extra camera battery, a portable battery bank, and some cables to charge my phone and camera. When I purchased more lenses, I needed a bag that could fit a long zoom while it's on the camera. This bag fits camera setup perfectly - the Tamron 70-180 F2.8 does not have to come off the body of my Sony A7 III. I currently have the bottom row saved for clothing while my 85mm, 28mm and my flash trigger sits in the middle row comfortably. I placed my portable battery bank in the tablet section, and it actually has a separate slot that fits the battery bank perfectly. On the outside, there are two slots for bottles, neither of which fits an actual bottle unless you're drinking the 12oz ones that no one in America sells. It's fine though, since the bag comes with extra cables to tie a larger bottle on the bottom. I think this might've been supposed to be for a yoga mat as per their product videos. Overall, it fits my needs perfectly. I didn't want anything large and so this fits everything I need and more.

Love this backpack. Love peak design. I accidentally set this bag against a glass fireplace and it ended up melting.because of the lifetime warranty PD sent me a replacement for free! Buy with confidence

After a lot of research went for this one in the end and glad I did. Functionality and sleek looks were key for me and this delivers on both. Looks good, small enough and easy to access everything. Once setup for my elements with the internal dividers with a tech puch on the bottom, camera in the middle and bits on the top, great for days into London for the office. So, good looks, good setup, issues? The back pouch for a 14" is very tight, a 16" would be impossible. When it is in there the ability to get anything else in there is curtailed, even my iPad or a kindle, which is pants. The key chain connector is rubbish and the straps are not great for a camera mount, even Peaks own. Still, very happy with the purchase.

Tiene algunas costuras sueltas, no es tan espaciosa, y a veces es engorrosa Pero es bastante funcional y ya que te acostumbras no tienes problema en usarla. Es de muy buena calidad de materiales

La idea y diseño de la mochila son fantásticos. Muchos detalles de seguridad, excelente calidad de materiales. Pero si eres alto como yo (1,84m), una vez cargada la mochila puede resultarte incómoda ya que las tiras son cortas y calzan muy arriba. La espalda no tiene espacio para respirar, por lo que transpiras mucho luego de unas horas de uso caminando. Si la quieres para cámaras fotográficas y lentes extra iría por una everyday de 30l o a otra marca pero mas grande. Llevo una a7iv con un sigma 24-70, ocupa 1/3 de la mochila. Si sumas cargadores, baterías, filtros y demás accesorios, te quedará poco espacio para algo más. Para llevar todo eso extra utilizaría un tech pouch pequeño Tiene pocos cierres dentro, los bolsillos internos de los laterales son para poner cosas muy pequeñas o de lo contrario, con la mochila cargada costará cerrarla. Los bolsillos externos son elásticos y su diseño es muy bueno, pero si tienes la mochila cargada es difícil colocar la botella de agua por ejemplo. El espacio de laptop es prácticamente inutilízable si la mochila está cargada (apenas entra un iPad)

以前からPdの everyday backpack は気になって購入しようと思っていたのですが、Pdの良さである強度、剛性力の高さから乾燥重量が重く everyday backpack V2 20Lにおいても約2kgあり、長時間の使用の多い自分には購入を躊躇させる要因でした。 しかし、この度新シリーズで発売となったコチラの ZIP は約1.3kgと3割近く軽量化され自分の用途に見合った内容でしたので購入に至りました。 諸所の点に改良が施されており新色のミッドナイトもとても良い色味です。但し、擦り傷がアッシュなどに比べて目立ち易いので注意が必要です。 外寸は 48cm x 31.5cm x 23.5cm と丁度良い大きさで、これまであったトップ・カバーも無くなり見た目のごてごて感が無く非常にスッキリしています。 主な改良点はフル・オープンが出来るデザインが施され内部アクセスが容易になったことで出し入れがし易くなっています。細部においてはサイドポケットやスーツケースハンドル用スリーブにこれまでマジック・テープ仕様であったものがマグネットに変更されていたり、内部ポケットにファスナーが用いられたりと効率化が図られています。 何と言ってもPdの everyday backpack の最大の魅力は、実用的なサイドアクセス、そして仕切り板を自在に可変出来ることで収納を自由に調整できる事ではないでしょうか。 強度を損なわず進化した軽量版がマーケットに登場したことはとても有難いです。

Lightweight with good storage and strong construction. Plenty of room for my camera equipment and the ability to configure for different types of photography trips
