Peak Design Everyday Backpack 30L, Black, MagLatch Top, Dual Side Access, FlexFold Dividers, Fits 15" or 16" Laptop, For Camera Carry, Daily Commutes or Travel, Versatile Backpack for Men and Women

I bought this mainly because I don't have storage on my motorcycle and the bag I had before was too small for everything I needed. This bag works perfectly for me. With the bag fully loaded the straps don't come loose. I was worried the magnetic latch for the top opening would fling open at high speeds (80+ mph) but that hasn't happened yet either. Can't say much for the speed demons that like to go 200mph+ but anything within "reasonable" highway speeds and you're good to go. All in all, if you're looking for a high quality backpack that can stand up to high speeds, has lots of room and can carry full, heavy loads, this is definitely one to consider. I'd say if you're just going to get this for an every day carry I feel the price is way too high. But for my use case it's exactly what I need.

The Peak Design Everyday Backpack 30L is an absolute masterpiece for photographers and commuters alike! Its sleek, weather-resistant design looks stunning and feels incredibly durable, while the innovative MagLatch closure and customizable FlexFold dividers make organizing gear a breeze. The side-access pockets are a game-changer for quick camera or laptop retrieval, and the padded straps ensure all-day comfort, even when fully loaded. With thoughtful details like expandable pockets and a luggage pass-through, this backpack is versatile, stylish, and worth every penny—a must-have for anyone on the go!

I really like this backpack to travel with. It easily fit my laptop and iPad with chargers, toiletries, change of clothes, meds, traveling office items. It is easy to carry everything using the top strap or over the shoulders like a normal backpack. It is water resistant and a beautiful piece of luggage — I had several strangers commenting on how they liked the look of the backpack or asking how I liked it.

Why did you pick this product vs others?:I was looking for a backpack that could be used both every day but also as a camera bag. I needed a bag that was bigger than the Kayden that I was currently carrying, but also was functional. I looked at numerous backpacks. I’m a small stature guy, and a lot of the backpacks look extremely big on me. I chose this backpack because not only was an expandable, but it also was very small and so it didn’t look overly large and still allowed me to fit everything that I needed to fit in it. The most important thing for me when it came to my camera accessories of that it allowed me to fit two camera bodies as well as three lenses which most backpacks do not allow you to fit. So this allowed me to fit both my 20 mm lens my 50 mm lens as well as my 70 to 300 mm lens. On top of that I was able to fit several battery packs a container for my memory cards, a poncho and numerous other things to protect not only my camera equipment, but even myself to include a winter coat a winter hat, and lots of other storage in there. I couldn’t have asked for a better backpack and is a fan of peak design. Everybody knows that they make great products.

I love the aesthetics and the side-access design. I love the flexible internal compartment structure panels. I love that it feels water resistant (certainly not waterproof, though). I also love the detail with the zipper--genius to have it open from either side, regardless of how you closed it. Frankly, everyone should do it that way. I also like that the straps are magnetic and tuck away nicely.I love less:1. that the straps are not very comfortable. If you're wearing this backpack for hours on end, I think you'll be unhappy. The Wandrd Prvke line is more comfortable for longer-term wear.2. that the outer shell material quality feels a bit cheap; maybe the X-Pac version feels more durable.

This bag is so well made and designed I’m in awe!

Excellent gear, versatile for very day use and extremely useful for travel..!

I own a different larger travel bag from PD and absolutely love the build quality and smart design, even though it's on the heavier side. I picked up this smaller version (the 30L Everyday Backpack) in Coyote for day-to-day use, partly because the color looked great in the photos.Unfortunately, the actual color turned out to be a letdown — it looks overly shiny in person, which makes it feel less premium. The fabric is another issue. While it seems durable, weirdly, it's quite noisy. Unlike the tightly woven material on my other bag, this version feels like there's a layer of plastic or polyester over the fabric, with air trapped between layers. Every time I open or move the bag, it crinkles and makes noise, which I found annoying. It even woke up a baby who was sleeping nearby when I simply moved the bag. That's bad.My biggest complaint is the flap closure. On the one I received, it’s slightly misaligned and appears tilted, which really detracts from the clean look PD is known for.That said, the design still shines in many areas. The magnetic strap system works great when not in use, and the internal organization is thoughtful. It comfortably fits my 15" MacBook Pro, a tablet, and some cords or accessories. The main compartment is spacious, and removing the organizers opens it up even more. However, I found the internal organizers lacking. My camera and accessories didn’t feel as secure as I expected, and despite adjusting the dividers, I could still feel everything shifting around while walking with the backpack on.In the end, I just couldn’t get past the noisy material and crooked flap. Returning this one — a rare miss from Peak Design.
