Peak Design 20L Everyday Backpack V2, Charcoal

2025-12-06T19:00:00

Best backpack I've ever purchased. I especially love the ocean color. The only thing I'm sad about it some of the anodized aluminum is already showing scratches after just a few weeks. But overall super impressed with the bag.looking forward to buying more.

Still my favorite, have been using everyday backpack V1 20L And switched to Zip 15L, then Zip 20L. Now that's worn out it's time for V2 20L, the black on black instead of ash is very cool and dirt free. I kind of like Zip's shape more but in terms of expandable space, everyday backpack is better.

Even though I'm not a photographer, I bought this backpack because I was intrigued by the idea of customising the inside and the quality. I needed a new backpack for my 16-inch MacBook Pro for an everyday city carry. This backpack works perfectly for me, and even though it's just a 20-litre version, it can safely hold my 16-inch MacBook Pro. However, it's not the most comfortable backpack. The main issue is that it doesn't have an adjustable frame or height adjustibale back straps. I'm 175 cm tall, and I definitely feel this lack of adjustability. For me, the backpack should sit a bit lower which means my shoulders have to carry most of the weight. For this reason, as a hiker, I wouldn't take this backpack even for a short hike. It's a shame that a waist belt isn't included. But since there's no frame adjustability, the waist belt would most likely be wasted on me, because for my body shape, it would be way too high.

I have been using this backpack now since it was first introduced a few years ago. I has survived countless trips to many countries and environments and it still looks like I bought it yesterday. All the features from side pockets to lid to organizational elements have served well in regularly changing configurations and I am looking forward to use it in the years to come!

This is the backpack I've always dreamed of. Its functionality, build quality, and materials are top-notch. There's nothing to complain about here. Everything is perfect and very well thought out. I like this approach to the product. oops. It has one drawback - you want more products like this

I can honestly say this is the best backpack I've ever owned. The Peak Design V2 is just so well thought out - every pocket, strap, and zipper feels like it was designed with real-life use in mind. I love how easy it is to access my stuff from the sides, and the customizable dividers keep everything perfectly organized, whether I'm carrying my camera gear, laptop, or just daily essentials. The build quality is next-level - sturdy, weather-resistant materials that still manage to look super sleek. It's also surprisingly comfortable, even when packed full. I've used it for work, travel, and weekend adventures, and it never disappoints. You can tell Peak Design really pays attention to the details. If you're on the fence, trust me - this backpack is absolutely worth it.

Have owned this backpack for years and love it. Has held up well and PD has stood behind their lifetime guarantee for minor wear and tear issues over time.

I bought the backpack back in 2021, for the past 4 years I have been rocking it back and forth on my daily commute to work and back and the occasional leisure trip. The origami separators have been an amazing feature allowing me to properly organize my backpack so that I don't need to worry about everything getting clumped up together. The backpack has been holding out pretty well to the daily use.

The everyday backpack has been my daily work backpack for the past several years and I literally don't feel the need to change it since it is such a quality product that even after so many years of daily use shows no sign of wear and tear. That's why I always buy Peak Design gear. It looks like a million dollars even after years and years of use (and abuse).

A great day to day bag that been super flexable for any day of the week from work to photography, or a day or 2 away. Everything is well thought out, the only issue i have with it, is it's a heavy bag even when empty.

Peak Design stuff! Where do I start? Maybe I've got an addiction, maybe I like stuff that matches all from the same company or maybe I just like the highest quality gear I know will last. Any negatives? Well, the lower part of the bag sits on the small of my back and is a little distracting when I walk but that's a sizing thing and I'll get used to it I know. positives: the shoulder straps sit perfect and are so comfortable. Thank you all.

I love the color and look of the bag but what I was not happy about was that this bag does not open completely and give you a full layout of the inside. Also because it's a tier style organized bag there is not much option to really customize this bag the way I need to. It fits most of my equipment but not all. I was under the impression that for this size the bag would be better organized or give me more room to re-arrange but I will have to look at a different option for that. Please update this backpack in the future

Got this one for a bigger laptop that didn't fit the gray 20L version I had before, and it's every bit as good. All the compartments, magnets, thoughtful details. Actually feels more comfortable to wear than the 20L as well, in spite of being a bit heavier. Would have preferred one of the options without the leather handle, but this one was on a pretty good sale, so whatever. The dark blue does look really nice!

I love this bag. It's been an amazing new addition to my life. Easy to organize, always discovering new pockets, super durable... it's a great pack.

This is by far the best backpack I have ever used. The many pockets are great to keep everything tidy and the dividers to perfectly fit whatever you want to carry. There are just two things that have annoyed me: The slim-ish profile can make it harder to carry lots of books and papers if you want to use it as your university bag and one of the anchors of the shoulder straps started squeaking. Besides that it is still in remarkably great shape even after two years of use.

I bought the bag about 6 months ago, use it daily. Fits my laptop, a digital notebook and some other gear I take to my office job. I really love it - fits more than it seems, and looks great! Recently I started using it on flights - when configured properly the 20L is more than enough for everything you need on a plane.

I've had the 30L for almost 3 years now. It's outstanding - so versatile. I use it for everything from light travel to international trips to flying with the Air Force. The bag has held up incredibly well, basically zero wear. The materials and design make it a must-have for traveling. I've had an OG 20L for 6 years, comparing the two my only gripe is that the way the sides open on the OG bags made them a bit easier to access the side areas. That 20L is further testament to PD's quality... That bag is a daily driver including office work and got plenty of mileage traveling. Again, no wear. Fantastic products and great customer service. I enthusiastically recommend them to friends!

I purchased the 20L v2 backpack about 2 years ago. I've been using it primarily for carrying my computer to work. The expandable top flap is helpful when I need to carry additional items. Access from three sides is a bonus. The zippers are high-quality, but they can be a little noisy. The side pockets are a little tight for water bottles and not deep enough to hold anything large.

Have had mine for 5 years now and still as good as when i bought it. Peak design support is also great and helps quickly and efficiently. Only backpack I will own from now on.

I'm an OG kickstarter backer of the Everyday Backpack V1. I've constantly been impressed by the features and lifetime warranty of Peak Design bags. I received a V2 because my last bag of 10 years finally kicked the bucket. It has all the niceties of the V1 with more refinements around storage and magnetic straps too. However, there's a lot less back and strap padding which makes it notoriously painful to wear over long periods of time. The magnets in the strap also need more padding. Please fix this and it would be great.

I have had this backpack for about a year now and, as with every Peakdesign product, I Love it. It's versatile, good looking and though. It fits my A7IV with three to five lenses (depending on their size) and leaves enough room for a jacket, water and some other utilities.

I bought this backpack about a year ago and i couldn't be more happy about it. Sure it's a bit of an investment, but it feels solid and it's super comfortable

After many years of faithful service as my everyday work and travel backpack, a side zipper separated and gave up the ghost. Despite having a partial serial due to extensive use, Peak replaced the pack under warranty after 6+ years, no questions asked. It's incredibly rare for a company to stand by their products the way they did, and I couldn't be more grateful that a fantastic pack is built by an equally impressive company.

I can't say enough good things about this backpack, I use it for my photoshoots and video shoots and it's big enough to pack everything I need. The black color is so sleek and the best part is the warranty. I've used this backpack for over 3 years and when the zippers broke they gave me a brand new one on the spot for free. Can't beat that

I've been looking for a bag for ages and wasn't sure it would be a good fit for me as I'm not a photographer. But once you try it you can't leave it. Very comfortable and useful to use in daily activities. Highly recommended.

Been looking for a bag that can do everything and I can say that this bag comes as close as it gets to being an everyday bag for work and play. It has ample compartment and well thought out to handle all sorts of things you may want to carry for work, hike, and photography. The materials and sturdy build brings confidence that it can last for a long time, and I really hope it does.

Backpack has a great design and well thought-out internal layout with many pockets. However, the strap was slightly uncomfortable and hard to utilize the full space of the backpack. Still a very solid option for EDC or full time camera bag.

The Backpack is as stylish as ever and very well made - so far I was not disappointed with any product made by PeakDesign. I like the material and the fact that there are plenty of pockets and small compartments. Nevertheless, there are a few things which I think are due for an update: - many of the small pockets are made from a soft mesh and close with a magnet. If items in the pockets are a bit larger, the magnet easily comes loose - I absolutely dislike the dividers. The flapping mechanism does not stay in place with heavier items such as camera lenses. Because they do only attach to the long sides, small to medium sized items easily fall through to the bottom at the sides - as I like to keep such items in the top compartment, I expect this to be annoying quite soon - while the closing mechanism of the top flap is satisfying an stylish, I am not yet sure how well it will keep items in long term due to the lack of a zippper - accessing items in the side flaps means the main compartment has to be opened. Some backpacks have 2 way access which would have been great - padding for a DSLR ist not great. I always feel like the item is moving around an needs additional padding to stay in place. On the plus side, the backpack has a few defining features I think are a must for a camera backpack which are still quite rare at times: - 2 compartments for laptop & tablet (former is height adjustable!) - side access to the camera/main compartment

Very thoughtfully designed in every aspect - materials, fit, access, pockets, attachment points, etc. I use it daily to carry my laptop and class supplies in college, along with a digital and film camera. It handles the weight well, and the integration with the capture clip is fantastic. Overall, best backpack I've owned.
