      I bought the Peak Design Everyday Backpack last summer before traveling to Spain. I've had a bunch of different camera bags over the years, and bags for laptops. I work as a Location Manager, so having a functional bag that can carry my camera, laptop, iPad and other stuff is essential. I love this bag. It is so well designed, and features excellent build quality. I have had the bag for a year now and it still looks brand new.

      A hidden magnetically sealed pocket sits just beneath the top flap, and is the perfect spot to conceal high value goodies like your wallet, phone, passport or cash.

      Hello. I read about the camera back pack-idea. I could fill in with another idea. The swedish company “Fjällräven” manufactures a photo bag with flexibel interior,but the great thing added is that this is also an ‘insert',so you could place this insert into your ordinary bags or rucksacks and also it does not cry out that you are bringing your gear with you.
