Peak Design Everyday Backpack V2 Photo backpack 20 liters
Often on tour and still have a lot of equipment with you? No problem with the Everyday V2 Backpack from Peak Design! 20 liters of capacity can easily accommodate even larger photo equipment, which can be safely stowed away using the padded FlexFold dividers. And any other everyday items you may need remain well organized and separable from your photo equipment thanks to practical access points in the individually configurable interior. With the "update" of the Everyday Line to version 2 (V2), the series also has a new look.
Quick access options, secure interior
The chic, minimalist design literally has it all - with the Everyday Backpack series, Peak Design has developed some highly innovative solutions that reliably protect the interior of the backpack while still allowing access to the photo equipment in a matter of seconds. There are two ways to do this: Once conventionally via the lid flap, which can be closed with the MagLatch closure system, an excellently thought-out solution for effective protection that has already proven itself with the messenger bags. The flap contains a metal locking hook with matching anchor bars on the front of the backpack. Unlike most backpacks, Peak Design has considered different "filling levels": there are 4 anchor bars, sturdily riveted, into which the fastening hook can be hooked. If the rucksack is fully loaded, simply use the top bar; if it is empty, use a lower one. The flap fastener and hook are also magnetic. This means that the rucksack can be reliably closed without the hook engaging.
Side access
The second option also fundamentally distinguishes the Everyday Backpack from other photo backpacks: In addition to the lid flap, there is also a zipper opening on both sides of the backpack. This eliminates the biggest disadvantage of conventional backpacks with top access - you no longer have to rummage through the contents! At the same time, this clever detail increases the backpack's suitability for everyday use enormously: if you are not only carrying your photo equipment, but also everyday items or luggage. In the Everyday Backpack, you can individually configure the interior (more on this below) and easily store both separately - and access them independently through the two side openings. You can also pull the backpack in front of your body from the right-hand side to access your camera equipment in the right-hand main compartment, for example, while your everyday items stay safely in the left-hand half of the backpack and don't get in the way. Comfortable, easily adjustable carrying straps help with this. And as the outer shell of the rucksack is also made entirely from 100% recycled, weatherproof nylon, the contents will stay dry even if you're heading to Scotland in the fall.
Adaptable: plenty of space for your camera and lenses
The large main compartment is also adaptable: with three individually placeable and foldable Velcro dividers, it can be adjusted to suit your photographic equipment and is therefore suitable for all types of cameras - from mirrorless system cameras of all sizes to full-frame SLR cameras. What ultimately fits in the backpack depends, of course, on the size of the camera and the Lens. One possible configuration would be a DSLR camera with an attached Lens, two to three interchangeable lenses and a clip-on flash. Larger DSLM cameras such as the various models in the Sony a7 series or a Fuji X-T2 leave room for additional lenses. You can also stow a lot of accessories. And if you have a small DSLM camera (MFT cameras from Olympus, Fujifilm X-A or E series), you can use the rucksack for your equipment and for non-photographic items. The Everyday Backpack 20L is also the perfect choice for drone pilots, as the backpack offers enough space for a DJI Mavic Pro including remote control and accessories.
Optimum fit and high carrying comfort
A detachable chest strap provides even more carrying comfort if required. The two carrying straps are connected and then hold each other in position. This ensures that the backpack sits perfectly on the body without slipping. The chest strap is hooked into the shoulder straps with aluminum hooks. A length-adjustable hip belt is also available as a separate accessory. This transfers some of the weight of the rucksack to the hip area to further relieve the strain on the back.
Versatile extra compartments
A tablet and laptop compartment securely holds devices with a screen size of up to 15 inches. Thanks to two separate sleeves, documents or even a second device can be transported alongside the tablet or laptop. There are also several small compartments in the inner lining - messy batteries, memory cards and cables are a thing of the past with the Everyday Backpack. These compartments either have zippers or are even self-closing thanks to a mini magnet in the inner lining. More luggage than planned? No need to worry! The included cord hook carrying straps give the bag additional carrying capacity: simply snap the adjustable carrying straps onto the sides. Tripods and other items can be securely attached to the outside and carried along. When you are not using this feature, the straps can be stored in a hidden storage compartment.
The FlexFold dividers - clever folding design for individual adjustment
Almost a Peak Design trademark: unlike other backpacks, the Everydays can be divided and adjusted even more flexibly. The highlight behind it: the FlexFold dividers! The developers at Peak Design have based the concept on Japanese origami techniques. With this innovative design made from two layers of fabric, the one-piece is not only simply foldable, but can also be folded out twice: one layer of the divider can be folded down while the other layer remains unfolded. This gives you a kind of shelf with an intermediate shelf. The divider can support a long lens and at the same time separate two stacked lenses from each other - a multitude of storage options. Of course, you can also remove the FlexFold dividers completely - so the Everyday Backpack adapts to your everyday needs.
Attachment option for a Capture Clip on each shoulder strap
Both shoulder straps have an attachment option for a separately available Peak Design Capture Clip. This ensures that the camera is reliably secured and immediately within reach.
Further details
Peak Design has also paid attention to the little things. The many details include an inside pocket for sunglasses and an AnchorLink clip in the sheath as a secure anchor point for your bunch of keys! There are also loops on the outside for the two cord-hook straps, which, as already mentioned, can be used to securely fasten items that are too bulky for the interior. Such details optimize the backpack for photographic use and increase its utility value in everyday life. Waterproof DWR impregnation and weatherproof zippers with flaps and safety tabs make the bag suitable for harsh environments, while the soft cotton blend inner material conveys a high-quality feel.
