Company: Peak DesignPrice: Starting at $149Rating:Hot: Durable; sustainable; beautiful aestheticsNot:What makes a great bag? Durability, functionality, and aesthet-
ics, and that’s pretty much Peak Design’s reputation since they
launched their first crowdfunding campaign back in 2015. They’re
now the most successful crowdfunded company in the world.
Peak Design recently released their next generation of Everyday
bags with sustainable fabrics, improved designs, and new colors
and carry styles. The new bag styles are: the overhauled Every-
day Tote; radical, new Everyday Totepack; Everyday Backpack Zip;
and 3L Everyday Sling. The previous designs have received a few
improvements, too, such as new exterior ultra-abrasion-resistant
zippers, and 100% recyclable outer fabric.
I’ve been a fan since the time they released their first bag, and
am now the proud owner of three different bags. What I like
about Peak Design bags is their overall design and functionality.
One of my favorite features is the FlexFold divider, which, unlike
any other bag divider, lets you easily stack your gear safely to take
advantage of every inch of the bag.
Recently, I was in the market for a small bag to take with me on
weekend adventures with my kids. It had to be small enough for
me to walk around with all day comfortably, and still easily store
my camera, an extra lens, batteries, remote, and other personal
items, such as my wallet, car keys, EpiPen, and phone. I decided
to go with the Peak Design 6L Everyday Sling V2. I’m impressed
by how small, comfortable, and beautiful it is; and it still holds my
Nikon Z7, a small lens, and personal items.
Besides the 6L Everyday Sling, I own a 20L Everyday Backpack,
and a 13L Everyday Messenger Bag. With these two bags, I can
carry my laptop and camera gear comfortably and in style. nPeak Design
