When it comes to bags with clever and thoughtful design, Peak Design lives up to their name. The newly redesigned Peak Design Everyday Backpack 20L Zip vastly improves on what was already a very smartly designed EDC pack. Its streamlined, minimalist style looks great for sure, but it also won’t make you stand out as a target in a crowd. And because everything about the bag revolves around easy access and smart carry, and its versatile enough for your daily commute, your travels offshore, and all places in between.

Few bags make carrying and accessing your gear as easy as the Peak Design Everyday Backpack 20L Zip. And while the bag definitely has its origins in being a photographer’s bag, its feature-packed design makes it great for anybody to use. It all starts with a new, 270 degree UltraZip clamshell main compartment opening, which lets you access the entirety of the bag for loading and unloading at any angle. The wide zippered design also allows for side access to your gear when you need it. Dual expanding side pockets make for good water bottle carriers, but they can also gear with a similar footprint, like a small tripod.

Another important part about the design of the bag is that it's Bluesign certified as climate neutral, with sustainable materials used in the building of the bag and carbon offsets accounted for during its manufacture. Its durable 400D recycled Kodra canvas shell makes for a durable exterior that's also DWR-coated, making it weatherproof against the rain. The included FlexFold dividers and internal pockets let you configure the bag into discrete compartments that prevent your gear from getting jumbled up as you go from point A to point B. These dividers and pockets become even more useful if you carry camera gear, drones, or other electronics, as they work with the inherent padding of the bag to keep everything safe. That includes up to a 15“ laptop in its dedicated space as well.

All around the bag, there are three exterior carry handles which make grabbing it from awkward spaces like an overhead compartment of a plane an easy task. And because it’s carry-on approved, you can definitely take it on a plane with you on your travels. There’s even a pass-through slot at the back of the padded back panel so you can mount it with a traditional rolling back as well. The padded shoulder straps make long-term carry a breeze, and heavier loads are stabilized when you untuck the waist strap and engage the sternum strap as well.

The new Peak Design Everyday Backpack Zip has it all: great, configurable storage space, easy access smart design, and a sustainable composition that’s great both for the gear you put inside and the environment we all live in too. Peak Design is confident enough in the quality of their products that they stand behind their no-fuss lifetime warranty as well, making this a great choice if you’re looking for a bag that’ll last.
