Peak Design 15L Everyday Backpack Zip, Black

2026-04-14T20:00:00

I've been using this backpack for almost a decade, and it's still in very good condition. Its simple, timeless design is incredibly easy to use. I've used it to carry both photography and videography equipment, and it can securely hold an enormous amount of gear. Despite dropping it several times, nothing has broken inside thanks to its eggshell-like design.

Excellent. This bag ticked every box, i was alittle concerned about the size but it proved perfect for my uses, not too big and made me carefully think about what i required. Very comfortable to use, my old bag with less equipment gave me back ache after a short period, this was really comfortable for most of the day. I would by again.

I bought this as a travel backpack that can be a daily driver with a separate carry-on for pretty much any trip. So far, this has lived up to my expectations, I love the zipper system as well as the "shelving" system to keep things organized and even protected in their own little "cubby". It is nice that the backpack is firm and keeps its shape, even while empty. I do really wish it had the magnetic strap holders to keep the straps tight when on top of a rolling carry-on.

I finally picked this up in Bone, and I can't remember the last time I was this excited about a product. The color is beautiful and perfectly matches my Bone Peak Design Everyday Backpack, which has already been an amazing travel companion for my camera, accessories, and a few extras. With the Tech Pouch, all my cables, power banks, and chargers are now neatly organized and incredibly easy to access. It also has enough padding and space to safely store my mouse and number pad without worrying about damage. This has very quickly become one of my favorite purchases.

?If you're looking for a streamlined daily driver, this is it. The 15L size is the sweet spot for a "light" setup. I can fit my camera, a drink, and my stuff for the day very well with ease. The internal organization is top-notch, and the zip access is super smooth. Also, the blue color is absolutely gorgeous and my better want to steal it from me.

I bought this 3 years ago, and am overall extremely happy with it. I use it to transport my laptop and accessories and all other stuff to/from work (walking some distance). Only downside are the adjustable straps, they doesn't grip enough and instead slips. Both on shoulder straps and over-chest strap. After a while it means that the backpack is far down my back, too far for my liking.

The bag is good quality and well designed to be functional. However, I returned it because the bag has one major flaw. The giant metal pocket zipper on inner side of the flaps is rubbing against the glass on the camera lens and other side is rubbing against my camera LCD when I put my camera with lens mounted in the middle compartment. Even if it's just a lens without camera, it's rubbing against the glass of my lens. They should have used all magnetic clasps like the upper pockets. The exposed metal zipper is a major design flaw and shouldn't be there especially for carrying camera gear.

I purchased this to be my new EDC as other bags typically only have a larger center compartment. Gone are the days of carrying documents and books for me. This allows me to rearrange the inside to fit the items normally in my bag without having weight distributed funny and everything shifting all the time. I also love the number of pockets, the specific laptop/tablet sleeves, and the two water bottles. It takes some getting used to (for the better), but the shoulder straps being on a hinge work better than I thought, too.

I bought this bag after outgrowing the smaller version of this, and I love it. The color (dark blue) is beautiful, and the bag is big enough for my camera and a few lenses, but not so huge that I look like I'm going on a hike. I love the clamshell opening when I need it, and the flexibility of the shelves suites my needs. I appreciate the added straps for carrying extra cargo externally-great to have a place for a jacket or extra tripod when I'm on the job. My only suggestion for the next version would be to make the side pockets larger or more flexible. I can easily fit a small tripod in there, but putting in a bottle of water seems more cumbersome than it should be. Overall, I'm a huge fan.

This is the most well thought out pack I've ever bought. It was an impulse buy while I was in Malaysia dragging around two separate bags for my carry-on/camera gear - now all my stuff fits into the one and it's SO user friendly on the go. It also kept the contents dry in one of the most significant monsoon storms I've ever been caught in (with a rain cover on) despite the outside of the bag still getting really wet. Highly recommend making the investment!

I bought this as a small carry-on which can fit my camera gear. In almost every respect it has been excellent. It is easy to operate, comfortable to wear, and durable. The only minor gripe I have is the included dividers have limited scope for different ways to fit them in the bag. My modest DSLR does fit, but I needed to borrow some dividers from an old generic backpack to better construct the lower part of the interior for the camera with lens. With that done, the upper part of the bag is even more limited as the divider is rigid so cannot accommodate, for example, something half the width of the bag. I was pleased that my 14" MacBook Pro fits in the laptop sleeve, although quite snugly and with some limitation on use of the other pockets in this section. I may end up buying the 20L version to ease the loadout, but I would miss the diminutive overall size of the 15L.

I've only used this bag 3 times since getting it but so far I love it and it's perfect. I can fit my main camera body, my 35 & 85 prime lenses, and a flash along with extra space on top. This is great, because I can just leave all my extra lights and gear in my giant roller bag to only bring when necessary! I will be using this bag for a lot of things beyond photoshoots and can't wait to use it a bit more and customize my setup.

I bought this in 2019 and literally used it every day to travel the hour commute to the city. It's the perfect day bag. Small enough to fit under your legs on the train, or under the seat in front, flexible enough to carry everything you need for a day in the city, but it's also got such a neat design and unique look. I often had comments on the bag- particularly the easy access side panels, which although designed for people carrying camera gear, are really useful when using this as a day pack. In 2025, I noticed that the waterproof seams along the zips were wearing a little, and contacted Peak Design. Even after 6 years of regular use, they honoured the lifetime warranty and sent me a brand new version 2 of this bag. Rachel in their customer care team could not have been more helpful. This sort of service makes you feel connected to the business, makes you advocate for the brand. I couldn't rate them any higher- it felt like I was an important customer to them, even though I'd bought the bag more than half a decade ago. I've since purchased the travel backpack, packing cubes and, most recently, the Roller Pro all of which have the same incredible build quality and design smarts, and encourage you to invest in this luggage. It's expensive but the quality, service and warranty are world-class.

I love this backpack-it's elegant, beautifully made, and incredibly well thought out for organization. I'm not a photographer, but I use it daily for work and appreciate the clean layout and smart pocket design. The laptop sleeve fits perfectly, and the multiple compartments make it easy to keep everything organized. My only complaint is that the 20L size can feel a little cramped if you're carrying bulkier items like textbooks or folders; I'd probably go for the 30L next time. It can also be a bit tricky to reach some of the inner pockets, but overall it's a fantastic, well-designed bag.

A very nice little EDC bag that I bought a few months ago. Love it for the resistance of it and all the stuff I can carry ! My Fuji and 3 lenses, a 14 inch laptop and 11 ipad (not at the same time though)? only problem are the « durable » zips that are already broken in 2 places ! And it's taking them ages to deal with the problem? THEY HAD ME TEAR OFF THE LOGO, take pictures of it, and they cut me off. I can understand that they had issues before and that they don't trust their customers (i must have like 15 bags and else registered on their website), but I have all the tickets and papers sent over, and still no solved issues. Please make better zips or use WKK ones ! Especially for an all zipped bag that becomes useless without it !

I like this backpack a lot, this is literally my everyday backpack. I like it's quality and flexibility on moving compartments to accommodate several things on it. Only thing I really dislike, is the laptop opening that's way too tight. For being too tight, when I struggle to put my ipad pro with the keyboard case. I know the V2 fixed this, but unfortunately I don't see as a worthy investment just to fix this.

I really love this backpack, the quality, the ingenuity of the design, the versatility, the comfort, etc. It's my go-to bag every time I go out and I trust it to keep my stuff safe and dry. The only thing that bugs me is the size of the side pockets. I could use bigger ones that stretch more to accommodate bigger water bottles or tripods. When the bag is full they become even more useless.

I love this bag! I got it on Kickstarter about 10 years ago and it's held up amazingly. Being able to lash blankets and items outside has been extremely helpful. I used it as my go bag when I was active duty, I travel with it all the time, and it's perfect also for lugging all my supplies for grad school.

This bag's design is one of one. If side access is what you're looking for, this is perfect. Not to mention the most modern sleek, looking back on the market. Dispatch has withstand the elements and tortures I've put it through.

I purchased the Peak Design Everyday Backpack Zip 15L (Black) back in 2022, and it has been my daily go-to ever since. As a tech professional, I pair it with the Peak Design Tech Pouch, and together they've streamlined my workflow and commute. One of my favorite features is the swiveling shoulder strap, while it's originally designed for quick camera access, I've found it incredibly handy for grabbing my water bottle on the go. The top handle is also exceptionally comfortable, making it easy to carry the bag even when fully loaded. With a smaller frame (155 cm), finding a well-proportioned backpack that's both functional and stylish has always been a challenge. The 15L size is perfect for me, it's compact yet spacious, and it doesn't make me look like I'm carrying a turtle shell, unlike many other bags I've tried. I'm quite particular when it comes to bags, and this one exceeded my expectations in every way: smart organization, minimalist design, and premium build quality. After four years of consistent use, I recently had to make a warranty claim, and Peak Design handled it exceptionally. Very responsive, efficient, and true to their promise of lifetime warranty (making me more want to buy more products from them). If there's one minor downside, it's that the internal grey fabric has slightly yellowed with age (wish they use other colour, maybe orange or black to avoid this but don't change the material as it feels amazing), but it hasn't affected performance or usability in any way. The zippers remain buttery smooth, which is a testament to the overall build quality. This backpack was a thoughtful investment and after four years, it continues to prove its value every single day.

I've been always Osprey person because they bags are great in every detail. I got Peak Design to be my all day long backpack for laptop, camera and lens and some accessories. I knew that I don't need to use inside compartment dividers. Material looks robust and midnight color is my favourite. First issue, my 17" laptop did not fit inside the back pocket. Unfortunately, this is my work laptop which I carry every day. Back compartment was big enough for 13"mac. I liked small side pockets inside the main compartment but I didn't find anything practical to store inside. Full side zipper might be great if used with internal dividers to easily access camera. I didn't find practical use for them because if I need quick shots I carry a camera outside. Shoulder straps don't hold and they need to be tightened often. It's no big deal but still annoying compared to other brands. Side outside pockets should be higher and made of mesh to be more flexible. I ended up carrying there only napkins because a bottle was falling out when I bend. I did not find practical use from side holders. I carry backpacks on the back, not as a suitcase. And finally the biggest disappointment is the lack of ventilation on back so it can't be used for hiking (considering higher pace). It's the first backpack I was giving away to my sister. The bag was fine but not worth the money and there were more disappointments than wow moments. The cost of the backpack is so high compared to Osprey or Deuter and they have many years of experiences. Peak Design could find their customers but mostly from photographers.

Nice design, quality materials, comfortable fit, a lot of pockets inside and very good water resistance. I love it.

I had the grey Evrryday Backpack v1 for over 9 years. It had an awesome build quality and materials and was durable for travels all over the world. The lifetime warranty is serious as well. They repaired the zipper once and even replaced the whole bag recently. The pockets, zippers, and magnets allows a versatility unlike any other bag I've used.

My everyday backpack when I do city tours with my guests or when I just want to take pictures alone. Normally I use the Everyday zip for the transport of my iPad pro, an additional sweater or a jacket in an XS ultra light pack Cube fits perfectly in this backpack. My Fujifilm X-S20 with a 27mm F1.2 from Viltrox as my street photography Erveryday camera. Or a Fujifilm X-H 2 with 17-70 zoom. In addition, I have a 0.5l drinking bottle with me and a few camera filters in a filter bag. For me the perfect daypack.

In looking to upgrade my small, old, uncomfortable camera bag, I was hoping to find something that could hold more gear, while also ideally serving double-duty as a general backpack for times when I only needed a subset of my lenses. After doing research online, I found this and was immediately excited when I watched the overview video. The flexible inner dividers are great, I love the wraparound zippers, and the many different latch points for external straps just add to the versatility. Only things I'd change are: adding some sort of port/cord pass thru, including the hip belt rather than making it an add-on (for me it's a must-have), maybe slightly stretchier side pockets, and perhaps a slightly lighter weight. But these are trifling complaints, really. The truth is, I love this bag more than i think any other bag, suitcase, or satchel I've ever owned.

To date I've only bought two PD products. A Slide Lite and this Backpack. I am highly impressed with the quality and functionality of the products. Focusing in on the backpack specifically, it's the versatility of access, pockets combined with the svelte design and subtle brand accents that make it feel it's worth every penny. It's so rare these days that products have such solid user experience but are also high quality. Thankfully there is no trade off with PD products.

Bought this a little while ago looking for a sleek unbranded pack. After numerous trips to Dubai and London I find this bag quite hard to get on with. There are some great points, the look, the comfort and the top zip pocket. After that it becomes hard to use day to day. There are literally no interior pockets apart from the side inner zip ones and the back laptop compartment is far too tight. I can get the laptop in (14 Mac) and little else. So my iPad and Kindle have to go in the front, eating valuable space. There is falls short of space due to the top lid design and the 20L size feels small very quickly. Even removing the dividers does not help much and I tend to use these to have my headphones at the bottom and the kindle in the middle. So, as a camera and lend back with a very small waterproof in the top, ok, but as a daily carry, unfortunately, hard to recommend.

5 stars for quality and design but only 2 for practicality. Have had the 20L version for a while and use for work. The main compartment is fine, especially with the dividers removed, if a little lacking in places to put things. The main issue is the back portion where the laptop goes, which is just too snug. My 14 Mac just slides in, with difficulty due to a short top zip, but once in there is no room for anything else. Kindle. Nope. iPad. Nope. Even though there is nominal pockets for them. So ultimately I'm going to have to sell because for anyone with more than a small superthin laptop it's an absolute pain. Looks great though.

Absolutely well thought-out rucksack that more than fulfils the requirements of photographers. The high-quality workmanship makes it an absolute pleasure to use. Every detail is well thought out and simply well implemented. There are so many features that make the rucksack extremely versatile. I'm sure I'll enjoy it for a very long time.

I bought my backpack in November and it quite possibly is the best backpack I've ever owned. So convenient and accessible. I love the side access on both sides. I highly recommend this backpack. I got the gray one and I love the color
