Camera Backpack With Top Access Suspended

Using the Backpack literally everyday, most used features are fast access to top, wallte pouch and laptop/iPad compartment. Though its a bit thight, especially with MacBook Pro and iPad Pro with case. Combining it with Tech Pouches greatly increases versatility. Straps are really useful when hiking. Waterproof finally lety me focus the umbrella on keeping rain from me and not my gear

After my laptop bag was stolen I decided to make the switch to a backpack for work. I researched for a long time before deciding on the essential mobile solutions backpack but ended up returning it due to being too small for my needs. Getting my laptop in and out with other contents in the bag was a pain. I originally was reluctant to go with the deluxe version thinking I wouldn't like the top flap access. I thought it would make things harder to access in the bottom but decided to get it anyway because the price of these backpacks are really great for what you get. I just received it in the mail today and boy was I wrong!!! I LOVE the top flap access, it makes getting my laptop in and out much much easier than trying to slide the lip of the other style backpack over my laptop to zip it. The size is perfect to hold my 15" laptop, a small tablet, my lunchbox, my notebook, a small makeup bag and my power cord in the main compartment. The cords I keep with me both fit nicely in the interior zip pocket, my phone charger lives In the interior mesh pocket on the flap, and my mouse, mouse pad, business cards, and phone are easily accessible from the front zipper pocket. By far my favorite features are the side zippers!! The one on the left is significantly bigger than the one on the right...its big enough to hold a large wallet/clutch, a small water bottle, or an umbrella. I bought a large wallet that holds my phone and has a place to attach my keys so I can just use it as a purse when I don't want to take my backpack in and it fits perfectly. The other side pocket is smaller and is made for your keys, and comes with a leash for them to attach safely. Bought a retractable keychain n so I no longer have to even take them out. Could not be more perfect...it's like they designed it for me. If you're on the fence buy it you will not be disappointed!

I bought the 20 L backpack zip for a trip to Australia after seeing it on a Pack Hacker review on YouTube. It did not disappoint! I LOVE the look of it! (I bought the gray.) And I l LOVE the thoughtful design. I flew Delta Comfort, and it fit horizontally under the seat in front of me leaving me plenty of leg room. The side access was very convenient while flying, and the side carry handles made it very easy to pull it out from the seat in front of me and off of my suitcase when using the luggage pass-through. The top access pocket was perfect for my passport and wallet. It performed equally well in the city and in the rainforest. The FlexFold dividers kept everything nice and organized. I used the external carry straps to secure my jacket to the front. I also used one to secure a water bottle hanging on a carabiner from the top front loop. I have a large water bottle, and wish the side pockets had been a bit stretchier so I could have fit it in. I had the main compartment pretty full, so that may have been part of the problem. My husband it is a big guy and likes to carry backpacks low. He said the straps weren't quite long enough for his liking, but I'm sure they would be fine for most people. In between trips I plan to use the backpack to carry my mirrorless camera gear.

I bought my Everyday Backpack 30L almost 3 years ago to carry my gear on my back while I traveled across the country doing onsite photoshoots of senior living properties. After 3 years of travel I can honestly say that I've never had a backpack that stood up to the rigors of travel as well as my Every Day backpack. I love that I can safely carry my full size DSLR and lenses needed for my shoot, or my drone and batteries all in one bag along with my 16in. laptop and iPad with all the cords and cables safely stored in the top zipper pouch. I love the individual pockets that are designed to safely carry/store the batteries I need for a days photoshoot as well as the pockets designed to carry other accessories needed (memory cards, business cards, etc...). When going through airport security, it's easy to access my gear to pull it out when before it goes through the security scanners. I also love the top pouch that I can quickly access things that I have placed on top for easy access. I have come to rely on this backpack for all my travels and feel naked without it. Thanks Peak Design for your excellent customer service when I broke the top zipper by stuffing my (too big) jacket in the top of the bag. I now have your next version of the Every Day backpack and can't wait to get on the road again.

Not all suspended ceiling tile kits were created equal, this one is top notch! Professional cutouts are already cut in and it's a breeze to install.

I found this easy to mount on my backpack and love having the quick access to my camera while hiking. I love it so much, I got a second one!

The best dedicated camera backpack for hiking, however, since this pack has a rear access panel it limits the ability to have a fully adjustable harness for a perfect fit. I used this pack on a 13 mile hike with about 2000 feet of elevation gain and on the hike out I started to feel the soreness on my shoulders. There's absolutely nothing with the pack, it's just the trade off of comfort for ease of access. I may return this because I need the comfort of an adjustable harness from a traditional hiking backpack. This is AWESOME pack, you won't be disappointed unless you are a serious hiker and you don't need quick access to your gear. YMMV.

I'm a longtime Slide user. Sometimes when I'm in the field, I either want access as fast as possible out of the my backpack, or I have my camera in hand, ready for the next shot to present itself. I decided to try the cuff so I didn't need to wrestle my full strap out of the pack when I was in a hurry, and so that I wasn't risking a catastrophe when I was hand-carrying. The results couldn't be better. PD, you've added another little piece of simple perfection to my kit. Thanks.

Bought this to go inside a Tom Bihn Synik 22. Just fits in the main compartment while still allowing space for items in the side/bottom compartments, and a water bottle, but the backpack is really pushed to its limits. In the Tenba I have a Canon EOS R10, 18-150 kit lens, RF100-300 lens, battery charger, spare lens/body covers, and room to spare for another lens or two or some other accessories. The camera fits in the bag regardless which of the two lenses is mounted - but I do have to alter the placement of dividers (which is easy) if I change which lens is mounted. The Tenba seems well made, reasonably well padded, and comes with several dividers to configure the space. It also has a fold in the cover so you can unzip it part way and fold it open; making it way to access a camera without having to unzip it all the way. Of course I still have to pull the whole thing out of my backpack to get reasonable access to the camera anyway but I have it in a small backpack. In a larger backpack I suspect you could access the camera without having to take the Tenba completely out of the backpack. Anyway, overall highly recommended and worth the price!

A great product. Quick and easy access. Can be clipped anywhere (on a belt, a backpack, or camera strap). Very convenient for lens filters and lens cap. I have several.
