Peak Design 20L Everyday Totepack V2, Black

2024-12-19T19:00:00

I bought this a few weeks ago. I could not be happier. I was looking for 2 months for a tote or should it be a backpack and could not decide which way to go. I travel often for fun and this bag is perfect. It is a Tote and a Backpack. I have never seen this from any other designer. The inside organizers make it perfect for what you need to carry. And love the Bone color. I highly recommend it.

I'm happy every time I use this backpack. It's great as a MacBook and lunch bag, but it's amazing as a mom bag. I can separate things as needed. It's just smart.

It's been a real pleasure to use the bag. And looks awesome!

I was looking for a slightly larger EDC bag without it being huge. I was coming from the Everyday Zip 15L and wanted to carry just a bit more. I've always loved the tote look, easy grab and go so I chose the black Everyday TotePack What makes this bag great Well the Peak Design Flexfold dividers. Two running vertically allow me to segregate into three tall compartments. The magnets!! The magnetic closure on the top allows me to easily go in and out of the bag but I can zip it if I want giving me that little bit of extra security Little touches like the locking mechanism for the zippers. The slim and minimal design outside. I have other bags but so many have straps, and things hanging off the sides. A MOLLE bag (and I own them) is great if I'm rucking outdoors for a long day hike. I want stuff to be easy to access. In a daily city bag not needed. The outside tie-downs are just enough for me to attach a light jacket or rain jacket without being burdensome to use The bag is perfect for a day out, I can carry with some room to spare - Sony RX100 camera plus ProMist filter - Nintendo Switch - 5,000 mAH battery - Twelve South Butterfly charger and a/c plug - small 1st aid kit (love the Velcro inside, lets me stick it at the top of my bag) - 22oz water bottle or umbrella if the day looks bad - extra shopping bag for big items that won't fit - light rain coat strapped to the outside What's not so great The outside pocket suffers from any actual useful pockets besides some very small items. While it's great for SD cards, camera batteries there is little room for anything larger than that. I understand that the pocket would eat into the internal space overall but some slightly deeper pockets would be nice. The backpack straps aren't adjustable on the fly. Ok, I know this is not a hike backpack. I do not expect load-lifters nor super padded large straps. They are meant to use for an hour or two. Not a deal breaker for me since this is my urban carry bag and I'm in and out of vehicles, just highlighting it for some folks. I'd love to see if Peak can figure out how to add a mesh or some sort of back panel that could be tucked away when in tote mode.

I've had this bag around a year and I really love it! The functionality and design is great. If I were to buy again, though, I would probably choose the black one. The bone one (which I've got) gets really dirty pretty quickly (especially if you commute on the underground a lot).

I just got my bag and love the design and color! However, the zipper was wrapped with paper and regular tape, which took away a bit my excitement during the unpacking process. It was a bit difficult to take it out. The inside is spacious with good dividers, which I really like! Only the top pocket is a bit too small for my needs. It would be more practical if it were slightly bigger to fit things like pens, my phone, makeup, and other essentials

I bought this bag with the intention for using it with my newly bought mirrorless camera and as a secondary diaper bag (my wife already has a diaper bag but it occasionally gets quite heavy so this backpack is used to store my camera + share the load for the baby stuff). The ability to structure the inner compartments is extremely useful - I can comfortably fit my 13" macbook air, 11" ipad pro, a Fujifilm mirrorless with 1 zoom lens + 1 prime lens, toys, diapers, bottles, snacks etc. It is somehow not as spacious as the 20L Everyday Backpack / Backpack Zip but it is more than sufficient for my needs. It is also a great looking backpack.

Pros: Spacious bag, accessible sides through zips. Gorgeous looking bag! Cons: The straps are so uncomfortable as it lacks padding like other bags. Could be straining on shoulders during prolonged use.

I bought this backpack while in Canada maybe 6-7 years ago. I'm writing this review after some coworker have just commented on how much they like the look of the backpack (which isnt the first time) and I came to the site to show them the product. I used this backpack everyday while going to work and often when shooting events to hold 20lbs of photography gear. I now live in the UK and still use it for work everyday in the rain and sun. The backpack has held up beautifully, easy to clean and adjustable, and truly is one of the most reliable products I own. I also use this to travel on all small flights - it fits the personal item requirements perfectly and compresses packing cubes extremely well. The only thing I wish I could buy as an add-on is a chest strap considering when travelling I often fill the backpack with up to 30lbs of gear and clothing, so it would help reduce the burden on my shoulders. Really a quality product!

I really like this bag, probably one of the most used ones I have. It is handy, light and robust. However, for the Totepack 2, I would really like: - the possibility to 'slide' it on the handle of your luggage instead of having the useless sleeve to store your straps - a better way to secure the zips on the side of the bag and if I am really picky: - a most efficient way to keep the handles together

So far I really like this bag. Perfect for my laptop, appreciate that it stands up on its own. The pocket in the front is very small, but it works.

I bought the Everyday Totepack a few weeks ago and recently decided to use it to comfortably store my laptop and other items (e.g. charger, headphones, water bottle). The bone color is aesthetic and the backpack does not look too big nor too small on me. All zippers are functional and the cross straps adds a nice touch to the front; I hope to utilize the straps soon. A con or two to point out is the narrowness of the inside when trying to widely open the top (due to less flexibility) to store items. However, it is also a pro because the backpack is firm and less vulnerable to damage. Furthermore, the Totepack does not have side pockets like Peak Design's other backpacks, which I think are essential for storing items such as a water bottle. Overall, the backpack looks aesthetic and fits comfortably, but lacks internal space to store wider items.

After weeks of research I settled on the Everyday Totepack. It has been absolutely amazing. It is very versatile due to the removal insert. I use for everyday commuting all week. Deceptively large internal compartment holds everything I need for the day. My only, would like to change, is the straps. They do not always stay on and it would be awesome if they were more like bungee cables which I purchased to use instead. It is a super good looking bag and I get lots of comments on it. Overall very very happy. It

I bought this bag a few weeks ago and I don't leave the house without it. I love it. I've got a space, a compartment actually, for all the tools I need that day. Water bottle, notebook, laptop, tripod and candy of course. The side zippers turn this bag into a cute little cubby when it's next to me. This is the best bag for a forgetful neurodivergent person like myself.

This pack is dreamy. The multiple access points, security features, organization and appearance are amazing. The only improvement i would make would be a stronger magnet on the handles. It's not enough of an issue to bother me. Used this for everyday carry as well as walking all day through European cities- allowed me to take everything I would need and more, didn't have to worry about rain, still looked stylish, and provided security from pickpocketers.

So far I am very glad of my choice of the Everyday Totepack. I use it everyday to carry my computer for work and have spaces to have my camera with me all the time.

Got the bag about two months ago. I love it. From the outside it's a simple designed bag but the inside ist well thought out. Because of the flexibel arrangable folders you can order the inside as individual as you like and very quick. One of the seam from one folder broke, not a problem at all. Just got a new one. All in all a very stylish nice everyday bag!

Bought this specifically for my work bag and it's pretty much everything I'd need. I've placed the flex fold dividers nearly all the way to sides internally. Created small quick access compartments for some tech and my water bottle. I'd note that I'm using the Memo Slim bottle so it fits perfectly on one side, I don't think any other bottle would work in this configuration. I have a large cavity in the center which works best since what I take to work could vary any given day. Also fits a 16" MacBook and iPad Pro 10".

I live in Russia and have been looking for the right backpack for a very long time to finally get rid of the chaos in my gear and clothes. Unfortunately, I couldn't figure out how to ship it for a long time, but then I moved to Georgia and oh my gods, there's shipping from the states here! I had already bought another backpack by this time, but now I'll be selling it (btw, it's also for photographers, but it's pretty bulky and not really comfortable). Everyday Totepack is a super backpack. It's compact, roomy and minimalist. Made of quality materials, perfectly stitched. Thanks for a very cool product, guys!)

The company I work for is moving from assigned desks to desk sharing. I bought this bag to hold all my stuff I need all the day moving from desk to meeting rooms and back: key's, wallet, 1l bottle, 1 isolating coffee mug, cables, USB Stick laptop 13", 3 pens, 2 x 220V charger for laptop and smartphone, 1 A5 notepad, 1A4 clipboard, an Orange, a pack of tissues, 20 bussiness cards, wireless foldable over the ear headphones, a wireless mouse and a mini wireless keyboard approx 30cm long. With that the bag is tightly packed - but it all fits in - and that in a way where with the two bag dividers it is nicely organized and accessible. Besides that I like the fact that it can be carried as a backpack - making my way from the parking lot to a free desk - or just grabbed by the handles - moving a few meters into the next meeting room. And it does not take up much space when putting it next to your chair - or underneath a table - or if you have to into a locker Four things to improve from my perspective: 1.) a designated area for three pens - having them freely in the front pocked is o.k. but not perfect 2.) a better opening "angle" of the front pocket - when the bag is full it does not open too far out giving you limited access 3.) having a larger pocket inside the front pocket with a zipper - to better store the USB cables and the USB Stick - I would sacrifice two to three of the smaller pockets on the inner side 4.) for my purposes it would have been nice if the bag was a little taller - so that a standard wireless keyboard (approx 50 cm long) would fit it So - even though there are things to improve - I do love this bag and it has made the change from a fix desk to desk sharing very easy By the way - I am very keen on trying this bag with my camera gear on my next holidays

I wanted to love this bag: it was stylish, functional, and just plain different. I returned it because it looked like a turtle shell on my back, being so huge in size. I'm no petite woman (5'8" - 190lbs)). It was roomy and the size makes sense for its function. However the bag was so big, it was no longer "lady like". Maybe reducing its volume to 15L would have helped but the size is definitely for a man. Really sad to return it - it was the most beautifully designed bag I have seen!

The solid, structured design feels like everything is well protected but it also sits well on my back in the backpack mode. Plus it stands easily on its own and hasn't fallen over even when the contents are really imbalanced. I've been using this as a commute/work daily bag instead of a camera so the dividers and how to best arrange things has taken a bit of adjustment but appeals to wanting everything to be in the same place always. The magnetic top closure is awesome and handy, just wish the opening were a little bigger or easier to make bigger and stay open also.

Good size for the purpose it was designed for.. traveling to work. I had used the everyday backpack for 6 years before switching to this and so far the size of this is the best feature.

It's amazing and thoughtfully designed- fits everything in it, and still easy to carry. Unloading and loading it is easy. Cannot wait to take it to Scotland in a couple months- where it will be tested and enjoyed! You guys did a great job, thanking every detail through and producing such an enjoyable product!! I've already gotten compliments on it and have referred people to your site. Love it.

This bag is very stylish, and if you like the minimalistic look and style it's great! The convertible inside with dividers is a great concept and *can* work well. I primarily purchased for traveling with my gear (not necessarily everyday shooting), or day out excursions with my family when I want my camera too. Things I would change or wish it had: - place for a water bottle (mesh pocket that pulls out or something?) - more front pockets. I understand the overall design- but would definitely use another small pocket for better organization. Slim pocket out front for phone? - it's pretty rigid- which is good for gear protection for sure- but makes for a pretty stiff feel. - I wish the dividers folded both directions - wish it maybe came with a little cheat sheet of divider configurations for carrying with gear?as I have struggled a bit trying to find best configuration for where to put dividers?but I'm sure with time I'll figure out best. Overall great concept though and looks great!
