Peak Design 13L Everyday Messenger Bag V2, Black

2025-07-02T20:00:00

This has been my most used bag over the last few years, especially when not far from home/the car, photographing in the city where it is really nice to be able to do whatever you need to without putting the bag down on a surface, but still being able to then cinch it up and sling it to your back when needed. Keeps water out even from the sides surprisingly well in all day rainy weather. Holds more than you would expect it to and it's great to have that expandability to fit a few things you pick up along the way sometimes.

Perfect size for my 13" MBP. I've added a tech pouch for all my loose item. Result is a perfectly organised travel companion. I wish I had made this purchase years ago.

I am able to pack everything I need for work, including my lunch. I like the option to attach the capture clip as well!

Bought this for travel, and I use it everyday too. Super easy to convert the inside and fit camera plus more without being bulky.

I have been using Peak Design Everyday bags for several years. I love the quality of the materials they are built with. I recently got the Everyday Messenger 13 LT and it doesn't disappoint. I will be testing it in several field trips that I'll be going soon.

Hello, I would like to tell you how satisfied I am with using my Every Day Messenger. It's been over 3 years and I use it every day to go to work. it is perfect and adaptable. he endures all the bad weather because I travel by motorbike and he is strapped to the Sissy Bar without being protected. as I use it a lot it got worn out when closing. I spoke to Peak Design about it and as it has a lifetime warranty, they changed it for me so it wouldn't tear. Well done after-sales service.

I've been using this bag for over a year, and it quickly became my go-to for everyday use. The quality of the material is excellent-it's durable, well-crafted, and has withstood a lot of wear and tear from my daily adventures. The design is both stylish and functional, with plenty of pockets to keep everything organized. After a year of consistent use, I encountered a small issue with one of the zippers. It wasn't a major problem, but I decided to reach out to the company's customer service to see if they could help. I was blown away by their response. They quickly addressed my concern and even offered a replacement for the bag. The process was incredibly smooth, and they made sure I had the new bag in no time. It's rare to find a company that stands behind their products like this one does. I highly recommend them-not just for their quality bags, but for their dedication to customer satisfaction. It's the kind of service that makes you a loyal customer for life.

So I got this bag under a warranty claim on my version 1 messenger bag so can compare directly. The bag is nice and feel very sturdy. It should last the test of time. They've done away with the rubber on the strap which is what caused me to claim on my warranty from version one so this is a welcome change. The new inserts are better and have more configurations than version 1 and are more sturdy. Downsides to this bag is I think it's about 20% smaller than version 1. The front pocket is substantially smaller and they've done away with the red and green stitching on the pockets which was great for knowing which pockets contained used memory cards and batteries and which were good to go. They've replaced that with a notch or light grey stick hinge and a notch of dark grey.. so I guess you'll have to decide which one means which and remember it.

I reveived the V2 Messenger bag after a warranty claim on my V1 bag. Peak Design no-nonsense customer service is just perfect! About the bag: in some aspects the V2 bag is a nice improvement compared to the V1 bag. However, I do miss the quick access (zipper) on top for accessing the main compartment when carrying the bag on a shoulder. A 15 inch version would also be nice. I hope Peak Design will make a V3 version which combines the best of both the V1 and V2 bags.

sometimes if I'm in a bad mood and I open this bag, I want to throw it across the room. The top flap is so annoyingly stiff that it won't stay open when reaching in and out of it. I also long for the old days when there was a 15L (or even larger) messneger style bag.

i have purchased a lot of bags professionally over the years but always come back to this one as an easy carry for a pro body with lens attached, a tele and a wide angle plus a flash. Perfect size for it and prevents you from over packing. Still looks as good as new after many years of use.

I have V1 and it is AMAZING! I love this bag and it gets used HARD in my company. The versatility was unsurpassed and the easy access, just enough pockets, and straps made it extraordinary! We've traveled across the country on multiple occasions and it's still my favorite go-to for my camera gear. I then got V2 for my other half and he uses it literally everyday as his work bag (Chief of Staff at a special needs school). This is NOT a camera bag. It won't hold his computer (15inch) like my V1, it can't carry enough camera gear to be worthwhile because the compartments are too small, and if he needs his iPad, he definitely can't add any standard camera gear. Our Nikon d850 does not fit at all (extra battery housing, of course), and if I add my Nikon 70-200 then nothing else fits safely. This is only a tech back-up bag for us. It can carry a couple of our flashes and then cords. Honestly, it's like they forgot what made this bag really useful and amazing (namely, fitting camera gear with easy and quick access) and made it just another messenger bag. Thankfully, my other half uses it as his work bag (you know, just another messenger bag) and we don't use it for photography. I'm so very sad, because I would have happily grabbed a second camera gear bag but now I have to go research somewhere else. Guys, bring back V1!

The over designed, unnecessary metal ring on the strap easily causes the scratches on your camera gears, headphones, and glasses

I have purchased both the 3L and 6L. My first purchase was the 3L for carry while doing street photography. Just the right size for second Ricoh GR and essentials i.e. batteries, The 6L injust recently purchased to carry while doing macro to carry extra lenes. Both the 3L and 6L are very well made, comfortable carry strap and as a bonus look nice.

I have the 6L sling but wanted something a bit bigger for a longer trip. Thought about the 10L sling but decided on the messenger. So glad I did. Much more room and a much better layout for me.

I was looking for a new messenger to carry my daily needs (cables, laptop, a bottle...); and since I had the Travel Backpack and it is a charm even after 5 years, I decided to get this one. It would maybe have been great if it would stand a bit better, and the bottle would have a small pouch on the outside, but besides this it is a very nice daily companion, and also a very good personal item on flights.

I used the old Messenger almost every day for years and it was great. I had to change. The new one is different and more modern. I like it very much.

Most of the time I won't need all of this at once but it's nice to know it all fits with ease and is easily accessible.

I used to have one of the original Messenger Bags (V1) with about 15L volume. I absolutely love that bag and I kept it for 7 Years until the zipper started to fail. I did get a replacement with a V2, which unfortunately is "only" 13L... I must say I really do miss those 2L... Otherwise, the bag is in my opinion the best on the market! Keep up the good work!

Very impressed with my 3L bag. The perfect home for my X100F when out and about.

Disclaimer: I am big fan of PeakDesign products already, but I just purchased the Everyday Messenger and love it! Different than the backpacks and slings that I have, it provides that perfect in-between, allowing me to carry camera equipment, or just office stuff on the go. I recently used it as an overnight carryall and it was perfect for just the basics, and of course, the cleverly designed and useful pockets and pouches and the light weight overall. A new go-to bag for me!

These bags are built to last like all PD products. In the model I own, there's enough room for a camera, a couple lenses, and my 13" laptop. This is great for business, commuting on bike, and going on photo walks.

This is the camera bag I have been looking for all my life. It has it all including places to put things like pens (remember them). On the outside it looks anonymous and not like a camera bag. Inside it is grey so you can actually see things and the magic folding dividers really work and can be changed in a trice and allow you to put things underneath. I can carry ALL my rangefinder equipment plus the laptop and charger. The strap doesn't cut in and feels silky and is easily adjustable. The clasp really works and shuts firmly but is also easy to open one handed. This bag knocks all other bags into a cocked hat to use an expression.

I have just purchased the new 13L Everyday messenger bag and it is fantastic. Excellent for carrying my Canon R5 plus lenses. I also use this for work as it is so functional. Peak Design look at every tiny aspect of what a bag should be and I think they have completely nailed it. Perfection personified.
