topcat's Review of Peak Design Everyday Backpack

I'd heard a lot about Peak Design and decided to get this backpack along with the Capture Clip before a big trip. I am a bag geek - And this bag is amazing. First, the fabric on the outside looks great, and is bomber. I've had it in full rain days in Seattle and not had any water get inside. The storage options are pretty much endless. I've used it to carry camera gear, and it is the best bag I have had for that purpose, hands-down. You can customize the space inside to fit whatever size lens, body, flashes you are carrying. What really surprised me though was how much I like it for just everyday use. I currently have all the dividers out but 1, which I use to separate a space for my cords, mouse etc...and above that I have a big space for books, games, a jacket or whatever else I am carrying. And there is a laptop sleeve, iPad sleeve and "extras" space (for keys, wallet etc..in the back. There are hidden storage toggles that you can use to carry all sorts of things on the outside.

Getting into the bag is really cool, as you can access the body of the bag from either side...Hard to explain in writing, but you just swing the bag in front of you (either direction) and there is a 2-way zipper that allows you to get inside. Nice for quick access when you don't want to take the pack off and go through the top. The closure system they are using on the top is unlike anything I have seen. It uses a strong magnet and latch to close, and there are multiple points for the latch to connect, so you actually get some pretty good expansion. Not sure how Peak Design measures the liters, but I feel like mine is bigger than anything else that advertises the same capacity. I've traveled a few times with this already, and it is a great pack at the airport. Tamper-proof zippers are a bit finicky to use, but once you figure them out they work great and give you a little peace of mind.

Plus I get compliments on it everywhere! It is funny seeing someone else with a Peak Design bag in the airport...

Really comfortable back system - The straps have a rivet or something that allows them to rotate.

Highly recommended for anyone looking for a camera bag, or a sweet bag for everyday use.
