I didn't think I'd watch the full 30-minute video about a bag, but here we are. I love the humor and editing.

[@TheJeffChase]

I know this is a 3 year old video, but I just wanted to say, I'm a few minutes into this video, and wish every bag company made videos like this of their products. It's super helpful. Thank-you!

[@asdrofllmao]

I love the unique personality and humor of these videos, please don't change. Too many companies choose the safe and stuffy corporate marketing route, but you guys are authentic and make me happy to continue being a customer.

[@RogerWilco1]

Alas, it appears this guy is out and generic woke NPCs are in.

[@JoshEstelle]

The little smirk on his face just sold me this bag. Ordering now.

[@hosmanadam]

I love that you credit the people the various features were designed by. Can't think of any other company that does that - for them, it must be all about the brand.

[@Spectre124]

I was thinking the same thing while watching! Totally agree.

[@monthlysurvey]

That little hidden pocket is a perfect spot for an Airtag!

[@KCMedia]

Can't believe I just watched a 32 minute video about a backpack from start to finish. Great work. I love PD stuff and will be buying either the everyday or travel shortly.

[@gionike]

The pocketable tote bag is exactly what I've been thinking about. I would definitely use one!! Very practical

[@joshcook777]

Yep, definitely want one of those pocketable totes!

[@adristrydhorst3228]

Received my 20L a few weeks ago and LOVE IT! This video is what sold me. Just watched it again and had indeed forgotten about the passport pocket! Wish I would have purchased the hip belt at the same time, but was so excited about the backpack that I forgot. 😂 I’m using the laptop compartment to store my water bladder and it works great for longer hikes😊 Thank you, thank you! Now I’m saving my mad money for a camera strap, hip belt and a few other goodies.

[@stephenwalsh1844]

Incredibly well-designed. As an interior designer, product designer, and photographer, I don't think there's a photography accessory brand out there designing better products than these guys. Also dig the West Texas Cloud Appreciation t-shirt...someone has obviously been to Marfa.

Thanks for this video! I love the informal approach and thorough walkthrough with examples. This is the most versatile, well thought out and durable bag out there!

[@wolfgang4595]

I love my everyday backpack 30L v2, It's great. After watching this video, I miss the field pouch ;-) I use peak design since several years - capture clip, handcuff and the amazing tripod! Greetings from Bavaria..

[@babybrownie13]

I'm really impressed with this back pack. It's obvious a lot of thought went into this. Thank you for making awesome products! :)

[@BacheweyChomp5150]

You are the best product demonstrator I have ever seen. I always look forward to watching your videos.

These instructional videos are great! I always learn a few things that I missed in the documentation or didn’t discover myself! Please make more of them! :)

[@peakdesignvideo]

Oh we sure will Markus! They're fun to make.

[@BarryFishman]

I would definitely use the packable tote. I've already got a V2 Everyday... now I just need my office to open back up so I have somewhere to go.

[@karlikot]

Why am is still watching this despite the fact that i have one? I just really enjoyed your videos. Keep it up. P.S. I miss Zona

[@janaisabellaruzickova7743]

I don't get it. I so much love the backpack but I really can't watch Zona :-D

[@entwritescode6281]

Just got mine today. Hoping it will last for 5 years or more. Really great design, everything feels well - built! Thank you for this instructional video as well.

[@loridumler905]

Incredible back pack, I have had one for several years and it’s my go to! I have stopped using the six other bags that I tried before finding this one, way to go Peak Design!! ❤

[@DanBecker]

So good... now my everyday backpack!! Thank you!!!

[@AkilisMusic]

I've had mine for about 3-4 years its been very durable and reliable. My gear has never gotten broken while carrying. I use it 4-6 times a week and it still looks fairly new and nothing has stopped wroking on it.

[@mashayamombe1]

Nach zwei Jahren in Gebrauch kann ich sagen, dass das ein hervorragender Rucksack ist. Der Brustgurt kann verloren werden. Wirklich durchdacht und praktisch.

Bought this and was well impressed for everyday use, especially for biking and commuting to school to handle my laptop and lunchbox. Thanks for setting an exemplary standard in backpack peak design! ;)

I have only recently purchased the travel tripod and I LOVE IT!!! These videos are incredibly helpful as you provide so much information about the products. Gonna be getting a bag very soon. :) Also, I would LOVE one of those pocketable bags!

[@keligunn9036]

When I opened my Christmas present from my son Sean (video editor, photographer +) and saw that he bought me a Peak Design "Everyday Backpack" i was so excited. I've admired his for years now. This video was awesome, love how personal it was and incredibly detailed, cracked me up several times! I learned about the "hidden pocket" and found a pd sticker in there, score. I spent time today organizing my new Everyday Backpack, I love it!! Can't say that enough. Now, based on the video, I'd love a "Pocketable Tote", I've been using baggu recyclable bags before people knew what they were, I have my original 3 and I think I've had them for 12+ years! I like matching things :-) Thank you for making excellent quality and earth friendly products. Keli

[@jasonmcvicar7641]

Just got a 30L charcoal and it fits my 5D on a 70-200, a 16-35, Mavic Mini ,a Macbook 13" and required accsessories with ease. Great video! I really appreciated learning about all the features. That pocetable tote look great if you have any left.

[@pedritoxx1990]

I was looking at other backpacks since I've had my 30L everyday backpack for about 2 years now. Wanted a change, something fresh. Honestly, after 3 hours of research and finding this video again, I am happier than ever with my purchase. It reminded me why I purchased it on the first place. Amazing and thoughtful desing, nothing on the market comes close to my needs. If you're one the fence about different backpacks, just get this one. Best decision ever.

[@cobyabbygayle]

Yes, a pocket tote would be a great addition . I just got a 20L backpack. Great bag. Took a while to get it the way I wanted to work. Also Brought a Carbon TriPod. Very happy with it so far.

[@jazmintabuena]

I love the humor of peak design hahaha thank you for this video! And the bag of course. Everything is well-thought of and definitely worth every penny. Thank you!

Really good instructional video about the everyday bag. Very helpful explanation about the use of the bags in combination with the camera's used. Those pocketable totes are really useful, I could use one. This video really helped me decide choosing the right bag. Thanks.

[@ildefonsopillot-oliveii7008]

Great video instruction. Light and informative, and please do not change! Looks like a great place to work! I would probably purchase a tote, maybe as an addition to the bag, like the hip belt. For example, I would use when I fly. Now I have a little tote in my bag, and when I get ready to sit and before I put my bag in the overhead, I have it pre-filled with my essentials - ear plugs, power pack for my electronics, snacks, parachute ... ok, not a parachute, head phones (left an expensive pair on a flight once...still have not heard the last of that one) etc., and stuff it in my seat pocket. Easily accessible, and then I just stuff it in my bag when I get off the plane.

[@Dagge61]

Pocketable tote - yes please! Already bought some Peak Design camera straps and I am about to buy Capture, extra Arca Swiss plate and a Messenger bag. Love the design and feel of your stuff!

“Let’s take a closer look at the exterior” *proceeds to look at bag from 2 inches away*. This had me rolling. Excellent promo vid. Will buy :D

[@kalkydra]

Great walk-through!, I finally triggered on the V2 30L in combination with the travel tripod. I have to say its a hell of a backpack, very well thought. I can fit without a problem a Panasonic HC-X2000 with the XLR Mic on it. Totally recommend it to anyone still hesitating on it. Cheers!

That Pocketable Tote! would be amazing for trips to a store. I would love one!

do you have the 20L or 30L? I want this bag for my R5, too.

This bag also makes a killer diaper bag :) We went to Disneyland and I put wipes in one compartment, diapers in another, then the top was left open for snacks and gadgets. It also worked really well when it rained straight for 2 days!

Had an Everyday Pack in Ash since "day 1" and finally decided to upgrade. This video was waaay more useful than I ever thought - very relaxing to watch and quite instructive. Love the new features and am looking forward to kicking the tires on my new rig! Oh, I dig the flexi-tote and would have that super handy all the time. And my very FIRST PD products were a Heritage Tan Messenger bag and Field Pouch. I've debated selling it in your pre-owned section, but can't bring myself to do it - it's just too damned cool. Call me a "PD Fanboy" - ha! Cheers!
