I've had my 15L bag for about a month now and I absolutely love it! I use it for commuting and it fits everything I need during the week. This includes coffee mug, water bottle, lunch, a book, and my work laptop with room to spare. I've also began converting the bag for weekend use and it fits my current camera setup nicely.
Definitely would recommend to others.

This is the best everyday pack on the market, full stop. From modularity, to flexibility, to comfort, and durability, and sustainability - checks all the boxes, also not for photo/video creators (I am not). I already loved the normal version but for me the full zip around is just fantastic and much better. Wished only PD would make also a 30 litres version :)

I've been using this for a month as my work bag. It is very functional for laptop carry and all the other note pads and needed accessories. The multiple handles on top and sides make it easy to lug around in multiple ways. I don't normally use the side access features but the internal dividers do make me want to get some camera gear and take this into the field. The durability is high and so is the quality. It is a joy to use it in a daily basis.

I use the 20L everyday. I got my notes, laptop and my camera. I have sufficient pockets for every pieces I need for class or photography.
My only caveat is that the hip belt sit higher than where I need it and I want a bit more space.
I want a 30L of the everyday zip. Please make one.

Knowing there is no perfect camera bag, I still ordered the Everyday Backpack Zip because I felt it would come close to meeting my needs. I've been using two backpacks for quite some time, one for everyday carry with computer sleeve and one for nature walks. For everyday use I have my Fujifilm X-T3 with either a Fujifilm 16-70mm lens attached and a Fujifilm 35mm f2.0 in the bag or I switch those around where the 35mm is attached and the zoom is in the bag. I also carry a A5 size journal, Kindle paperwhite, maybe a book and sometimes a 13" Macbook Pro. When headed to one of the natural areas I will bring along Fujifilm 70-300mm lens in the bottom compartment and no laptop. I do not like carrying much stuff and felt the smaller 15L bag would encourage me to carry only what I need, not what I can carry. I'm over 70 and the back is not what it used to be. So far it has worked out. I've not even consider the other two bags I used. I hesitated to order this because of the price but felt I could not evaluate the bag until I used it. Knew if it did not work for me I could return it. When I first received it I thought the laptop sleeve would be to small but it fits nicely. I find it easy to access my camera from the side or my journal from the top. So far I am very pleased with it.

After two years of use, I can honestly say that this is the most comfortable backpack I have ever had. The 270-degree zipper gives you the option of opening it like a suitcase, which is extremely convenient for everyday quick packing. I've had an EDBv1 20L and a Sling 10L before, but the EDBv2 15L Zip is the perfect half-measure. It is a pity that there are no magnetic strips like in EDBv2 and holders for hanging straps. I dealt with it myself, a little non-invasive modification. I usually carry a tablet, Tech Pouch and a raincoat inside, but I can easily stuff my SLR camera. Furthermore, I was surprised that the Travel Tripod can be squeezed inside.

The zipper for the laptop compartment of my EVERYDAY BACKPACK ZIP broke after 5 years. I received the current model without an invoice and without a discussion about the guarantee. Very nice! The improvements are also very good. There is no longer any tension on the zipper for the laptop compartment. This model may really last as long as the warranty.

Women carry handbags, men carry backpacks :). I've carried a backpack to work for many years and have changed many of them over 20 years. But I kept telling myself they weren't the right fit, too soft, didn't hold their shape, got wet, etc.
I like classic looking backpacks and that's why I chose the Everyday Backpack Zip 20l. And from that moment on I don't carry any other backpack but this one. It has to accompany me to work, on trips with my family and on vacation. Just everywhere I need to carry something that doesn't fit in my pockets. Moreover, thanks to the 20l volume, it forces me to think about what I'm taking with me, so I don't carry any unnecessary things.
Since I bought an older DSLR some time ago, I based it on the need to carry it everywhere with me and often with additional lenses. The perfect thing is that I can tailor the main compartment of the backpack to the needs at hand and place daily necessities like sanitizer, hand cream, a small knife and other things in the small pockets. I tend to use the back pockets for my laptop and tablet to carry documents and more valuable small items.
And the workmanship? This is of course of the highest possible standard, as we are used to with Peak Design products. The fabric that the backpack is made of is waterproof, and what's more, in the grey finish you can hardly see any smudges or dirt. And if any do happen to show up, all you need is a damp cloth and you're cleaned up. Plus, I love the little details like the magnetic side pockets for a bottle/tripod, the pack always stands upright on the ground, the zipper can be opened almost the entire circumference of the pack for easier organization of the luggage, and the list goes on.
Next time I see this as some sort of Travel Backpack... we'll see :).

This backpack is everything the reviews and videos says it is. Easy to load and unload, easy to redesign the interior storage, easy on and off, and fits well.

To keep it brief, I only have two issues with this backpack-
It struggles to stand up on its own sometimes, causing frustration, and forcing me to prop it up against something.
And, I wish the exterior was smoother, like most Aer products, for example.
Other than those two issues, this is an expensive- but amazing backpack, and I don't regret my purchase at all.

Quality meets function + aesthetic design. This backpack was thoughtfully designed for the photographer/videographer in mind. It's great for everyday, travel & adventure. The dual zippers make accessing gear easy. Plenty of internal pockets make it easy to stay organized. The clean aesthetic and simplified design was also a huge draw for me. I purchased this bag in the bone color and to say I'm obsessed is an understatement. The 15L size fits my everyday needs; however, I would have definitely purchased the 20L size if it came in the bone color for a little extra space.
I also like that you can add a hip belt to this pack for added stability when hiking longer trailsI just wish the hip belt also came in the bone color as well to keep the overall aesthetic of the bag. Overall, this is the best Camera backpack I have used to date! It deserves all the hype!

I bought this backpack a month ago and I'm super happy with its ability to store my cameras and additional lenses as well as the many small items I always take with me - cereal bar, extra batteries, chargers, pens, chapstick, small notebook. I appreciate the many pockets - some with zippers and some without - and feel like I can find a spot for everything. I also feel that the backpack is more mature than most with more obvious zippers. The only small complaint I have is that the water bottle pockets on the side are super tight and I can't fit my usual water bottle in them. Overall, I'm very happy with the backpack.

I got the 15L after much debate on what would be the perfect size camera backpack for me. Most other ones I looked at were either enormous or too small (I have a small sling that fills that need).
Quality:
Amazing. Perhaps the most well-made backpack I've ever had. Durable materials, soft interior, magnetic and zip pockets, just really overall great design.
Regarding size:
The 15L is perhaps SLIGHTLY smaller than I anticipated, I think somewhere around 18L would've been the sweet spot for my needs. In this I can fit basically all my camera gear, but little else. It fits my APS-C, a few lenses, my DJI Mini2 w/ Controller, 13" Macbook Pro, and some random dongles and accessories. Maybe a snack. It's not a huge issue cause I rarely ever pack all that at once, but it happens.
Secondly, the straps are a little tight. To be expected on a smaller bag like this, but something to keep in mind if you're a guy with broad shoulders, you'll likely have to loosen the straps close to all the way for it to be comfortable.
Would still totally recommend this for someone looking for a smaller backpack, but just a couple things to keep in mind.

The 15L Everyday Backpack is perfect for everyday use (laptop, work stuff, etc.) as well as for taking out camera kit for a day of photos. With a Micro Four Thirds or APS-C kit, you can get a lot in the bag. And... So many great bags from so many great bag manufacturers come without outside pockets. I do not want to put my water bottle inside my bag. I need a pocket on the outside, and the Everyday Backpack Zip has the outside pocket, which is great.
Only thing I would love (particularly for M4/3 cameras) is a third divider, which, of course, I can purchase myself separately.

I had been eyeing this backpack for months. Because of the price and the main purpose of being a camera bag, I was hesitant but after researching a lot of competitors, I eventually bought it. I got the bone colored one and was a little worried about it getting stained, despite having a water resistant shell, but we pleasantly surprised to find out it was very easy to clean. I took it on a trip with me and I had spilled coffee on it, dropped it in mud, hit it against an oily part of my car and somehow, despite having left those things in for hours, a wet paper towel and a little soap washed it all off so easily. I love that it has adjustable shelves, which was a huge selling point for me. Im a product designer so I bring a lot of tech around and I like organizing all my chargers and notebooks into handy sections. I like how small and lightweight it is. I'm 5'1" and I struggle with finding backpacks that aren't too big, straps that actually fit my smaller frame and it doesn't hit my butt every time I take a step.
One thing I will say I wasn't fond of was the laptop holder in the back. Super tight fit, had a bit of a hard time taking my laptop out sometimes but I'm guessing it will loosen up with wear. Other than that, I think this is a thoughtfully designed backpack and i am obsessed with it!
