Peak Design Everyday Backpack V2 Zip Photo Backpack 15 liters
The Everyday Backpack 15L Zip is a new version of the Everyday photo backpacks from Peak Design - particularly light, stylish and with an innovative access system. Do you always have your photo and everyday items together and a pure photo backpack therefore makes no sense? That's the idea behind the Everyday backpacks from Peak Design. But at the same time, your style is important to you and you want a slim, elegant backpack that also suits you well on the street or during sports? This is exactly what the "Zip" version of the Everyday series was developed for.
Side access
In addition to the ergonomic, minimalist design, the Everyday Backpack Zip - as the name suggests - scores with quick, uncomplicated access to the main compartment: with a weatherproof zipper along the entire length of the backpack. This means you can access the contents from the top or from both sides! At the same time, this clever detail increases the backpack's suitability for everyday use enormously: if you are not only taking your photo equipment with you, but also everyday items. To ensure that this works without any problems, you can configure the interior individually (more on this below) and stow both separately - and access them independently thanks to the opening on both sides. 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 remain safely in the left-hand half of the backpack. 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, for example.
Adaptable: plenty of space for your camera and lenses
The main compartment is also adaptable: with two 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 interchangeable lenses and a clip-on flash. Larger DSLM cameras, such as the various models in the Sony a7 series or a Fuji X-T3, leave room for additional lenses. And if you have a small DSLM camera (MFT cameras from Olympus, Fujifilm X-A or E series), you can use the backpack for your equipment and for non-photographic items.
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 13 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 large-format items can be securely attached to the outside and carried. 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 Zip adapts to your everyday needs.
Attachment option for a Capture Clip on each shoulder strap
Both shoulder straps have an attachment option for a Capture Camera Clip or a CapturePro 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 on the side as a secure anchor point for your bunch of keys! There are also loops on the outside for the two cord-hook straps, which can be used to securely fasten items that are too bulky for the interior. Such details optimize the backpack for photo use and increase its utility value in everyday life. Waterproof DWR waterproofing and weatherproof zippers with covers and safety tabs make the bag suitable for harsh environments, while the soft cotton blend inner material conveys a high-quality feel.
