I watched the whole thing, thinking "wow, this is thorough, audio and video quality is top notch, and his opinions are honest, I like this". And then at the end you mention your subscribers and how you have so few. I went out of full screen just to find you have 72! 72!!?? It's going to be 73 now, you deserve more people to follow you, this content is great! It was just what I needed. I was seduced by the manufacturer's video and now I know from a real life user of the bag. Thanks!

As much as I appreciate your honest approach to the review, I advise you to first fill in the gaps in your knowledge of the product. First, it showed when you were saying the strap isn't reversible. Second, it was most obvious when you were talking about the dividers, it clearly shown you didn't use them at all, probably tried 2 or 3 times and it didn't work for you so you scratched if off the list. Quite the contrary, those dividers are one of the best, if not the best and most versatile dividers you could find in any of the photo bags. Talking from my own experience. They have a bit of a learning curve before you use them well but once you do, they are pretty awesome. That's all, peace.

I have had one for several months now and love it. I agree with you on some of the smaller criticisms like the smaller exterior pockets. BTW, my iPhone 6plus in it's case fits in the side pockets just fine without fear of it falling out. You apparently did not spend enough time with the "origami" dividers. You can very easily make them much shorter (about half their fullest extension) by folding in half and then TURING THEM OVER. Then, if positioned against a side wall, the black strip of velcro can be used to fold over and lock in place providing a cover on top of say maybe a shorter lens stored below. Give it a try....works great.

I'm from a family of photographers since 1920's. My great grandmother didn't have a "Camera bag" but her camera was always fabulous while taking photo's of Pancho Villa during the war. Then my grandfather's camera was very heavy and his case square, leather, very heavy. For me I have changed bags multiple times in 30 years to find the best. This is the best bag I have ever had. I'm using it going to all 59 national Parks by my 60th birthday. Comfortable, all my equipment fits beautifully and most important it doesn't look like a camera bag. Some places you don't want to stand out and show the world you are carrying a lot of expensive gear. A must bag.

I really appreciate the fact that you used the bag for a month before doing your review. Others have just received the bag, put some stuff in it and did a quick review which they were clueless about how some of the features were supposed to work. Good, honest review. Thanks!

Great video review! Hey, regarding the laptop space: According to Dell website (and the model you provided), the screen size of the laptop you own is 15.6" (diagonal) and its chasis actual width is 383mm = 15.08 inches (lets remember screen size is different/smaller than chasis size. If this info is right and according to the bag specs you mention, this might be why your laptop won't fit in the bag. On the other hand the 15" Macbook Pro screen size is 15.4-inch and its chasis width is 14.13 inches. (although this is the retina MacBook, previous models vary in height only) So as you said this might've been thought for Mac users, it seems you could still fit a laptop with a smaller width than 15-inches.

I reside in Africa, and I haven't found a retailer that carriers these bags on their shelves.. I was looking to purchase this bag online as a travel bag for my photography as I'm switching to Fuji X system and wanted something small and compact to fit two XT3 bodies and three Fuji prime lenses 16, 23, 35 & my Canon 100m Prime with the Fringer adaptor - I think this bag might be too big for that purpose - so a big thank you for the comprehensive review.

my mind was just blown. im sitting here looking at a top notch 10/10 quality video .. audio perfect. content is Super nice .. honestl opinion.. then i look at subs.. MIND BLOWN.. wtf.. you need more followers..

I think you nailed what I don't like about the dividers in this bag. I currently use a Fujifilm system, including two bodies and have a lot of small lens that I usually stack to fit in a messenger bag as large as this. Having only 3 large dividers with no padded separators for stacking and limited velcro area suck. I usually save room by storing each camera body with a lens attached, orientated lens down. You can't easily do that with this bag, having only three dividers --- the two bodies would bump into each other. The way I use this bag is to use the dividers to create three tall sections and then put lens in lens pouches so that they have some padding as I stack them. I only store one camera body with lens attached; I store the other body with lens detached. This setup hardly works when you want to work out of the bag with all of your lens available. If you use less gear --- like what you see in the Peak Design videos --- the bag works, but, what a waste of such a large bag for hauling lens and camera bodies.

Thanks for your very thorough and even-handed review. I ordered the bag an hour or so before watching your video and now know what to expect when I start using it. For my purposes, I found your review to be reassuring. Liked and subscribed!

I completely agree with what +Lupe Jelena said. Your production value is outstanding and your opinion is clear, based on experience and provides useful information. I happen to have one of these for myself, backed their Kickstarter from day 1, and I agree with most things you say, with exception to the dividers. For me they do exactly what I want them to do, I have wide compartments, slim ones and they fold down to make half compartments where I can put my camera on for easy access. But that pretty much depends on what you want them to do, of course. I tend to use it for other outings as well, filling them with not only camera gear, and find that it's really usefull for everyday use as well. That's also a huge plus side, it doesn't look like a camera bag, in contrast to my big, fat, hulking black LowePro bag that I used to lug around (Stealth Reporter 400). This fits (almost) the same amount of gear, but does it so much more elegantly. Great review, and you've got yourself another subscriber :)

Devon, it's Adam from Peak Design here. First off, thank you for this incredible review! This is hands down the most detailed Everyday Messenger review we've seen. Thank you so much for your support, and for taking the time to walk through the bag's features in such depth. Sounds like the dividers are definitely feature of the bag that you are least happy with. If I could paraphrase your pain-point, it's that you cannot get the kind of flexibility/versatility you need out of them, or that we advertise. Would you say that's accurate? Would love for you to have a look at this video here (the whole thing, but especially starting at 11:18): kzfaq.info/get/bejne/otOkndSf3d6wkqM.htmlm18s. Our head designer Art walks through a few different packing scenarios, each of which are made possible with different divider configurations. You can see how he folds the dividers to function at full, 2/3 or 1/2 height, as well as using dividers to enable gear stacking. Would love to know if this tutorial helps you get more from the divider system. Also, we're gotten feedback from folks who want additional dividers and we're working to hopefully make those available on our site in the near future. Cheers, and thanks again! Adam & the PD Team

Nice review, thanks. I did notice that you didn't think the cross-strap would work when you use the non-default shoulder. You can actually swap the support straps around, so the clip on the cross-strap is on the other side. On the dividers, I have two of them at half-height, I find them much better than the standard velcro ones. So it's: - Left side, a 21mm lens underneath the divider, and my A7R2 with 55mm on top. - Middle is open (tall) back to back with the left one, keeping the A7R2 in place on the left. If I have a long lens, it goes there. - Right is either open or half-height, depending on whether I have more lenses with me. I guess that the smaller camera/lenses makes it easier to use the dividers in a different way?

Just got this bag today, and I'm liking it a lot. I spent about 2 hours trying to fit in all of my gear that previously took up a large backpack and a seperate small camera bag. My biggest issue is how narrow the bag is. I could barely fit in my Sony a7II mirrorless camera without it bulging the sides out. I can't imagine a DSLR in there. I've got lots of random stuff like painters tape, tape measures, and misc nick-nacks that I have to take with me on the job and those obscure shaped items really do not fit well into the bag. I even had trouble fitting my macbook air charger into it (in the tablet pouch). Currently my bag weighs about 30lbs+ with all my gear, but is still fairly comfy. Hopefully I don't have to carry it far with my stuff in there, though if I take it on a hike or something it would have considerably less inside. Great review, good humor, clear audio and video. Thanks!

I guess they realize the mistake and updated their product description: Laptop and tablet sleeves Dedicated, protected 13-15” laptop pocket with tablet/document sleeve is accessible without opening main bag compartment. Max laptop dimensions: 14.35"x9.82"x.95"

You need to watch the everyday messenger bag tips video. You can fold the dividers half way. The video also shows some setups that adds flexibility.

The cross strap is removable. You can reverse the two straps if you wanted to, you just need to remove the end of the strap from the pockets they're kept in.

This is the best review of this bag I've seen. You deserve way more attention. Great channel!

A laptop that is 15 inch wide is not a 15 insch laptop. no wonder it does not fit. 15 inch refers to the diagonal, which of course means it is quite a bit narrower in width.

You should check out the Tenba DNA series. I bought one just before Peak announced this product. Regular dividers, more so you can section up the space more, elastic mesh pockets on the outside for for water bottles or such. Less trendy/hipster design and at around half the price. The only downside is that I end up putting my peak design capture pro clip on the strap as there is no place on the bag to attach it.

Would you do a critical review on their new everyday backpack? Love your honest review.

Great review, but I must disagree with the dividers. I usually carry a couple small lenses with me and I find that folding the dividers down at 90 degrees effectively doubles the space I have. For example, I put two dividers facing back to back near the "bottom" side, then I: place one lens between the dividers and the side wall, fold the divider closest to the wall at 90 degrees; and place the second lens on top. I leave the second divider vertical so it holds the top lens in place, and I leave the rest of my bag open most of the time. This gives me a nice large space to throw my camera with a lens attached into the bag. Another way I use it is to put small but infrequently used things like chargers, a point-and-shoot, and GoPro cases under the dividers when they are folded down, and stack things like the strap, my camera, or ultralight rain coat on top. I also have some complaints about the laptop sleeve even though I can fit my Yoga 900 and Nexus 10 comfortably in there; however, I usually use it to carry around a couple contracts or other paperwork. The only thing I've ever used the top access zipper for is to access the small "passport" pocket, which I use for business cards. I am also satisfied using this bag as carry on baggage on airplanes. It is a little big to fit under the seat in front of me, but it can be done in a pinch.

Good critical, but fair review. Professionally produced. I just bought the Messenger 13" and was disappointed to see that it only comes with TWO dividers. And they charge $15 for extra ones! P.S.: I believe there is a way to fold these dividers down to half their height.

I never comment on youtube videos, but felt compelled here. Well done, great to see a PROPER real world review. I've been close to purchasing the bag, but majority of material on the web is just gushing praise, rather than a REAL review. So thanks, as your review has helped me decide :-) Have subscribed to your channel, keep up the same standard!

Great honest review.....I myself have a large camera bag graveyard for bags that at first look good but disappoint. Thank you

Wow, Even though when you said you had a small subscriber count you were talking about being only ~72, I still think 940 is way too little, the quality is great, audio perfect, great stand, great b-roll, great camera, great opinions. Keep up this work and you will be up there real quick, around 850 subs in three months? Wow. Good job

Thanks for the excellent review. It's great to see something in depth, rather than short reviews after only owning something for a few days. Like yourself I had never owned anything from Peak Design. But I've been using the Everyday Messenger for over a couple of months now. I was also rather disappointed by the dividers not being quite as flexible as I had hoped. I was also somewhat worried about the laptop slot. I haven't traditionally taken my laptop out with me, and although it is only 13", it is quite fat (unlike the MacBooks they always seem to feature in reviews). But it did fit quite well. Although I'm still not sure how often I'll take it out. Living in the North West of the U.K., it has been raining regularly (a lot) during the last few months, and I can report the waterproofing does work well. Like yourself, I bought the bag as a bundle and was impressed with using the capture clip so I have my camera outside the bag and can carry more gear inside.

Thanks for the in-depth review. 15" macbook pro retina does fits perfectly. The origami dividers work a treat for me.

great review, I wish I had found one as fair as tours before I bought mine, as all the others as you pointed out reaked of fanboyisim. I also hate how it doesn't stand up well. I typically unload my main compartment when I get to the office and it just flops over simply from the weight of a few USB cables in the front compartment. I disagree on the side pockets being useless. I use them to keep my keys in, and occasionally my phone (a note 5) all the time. I don't use mine as a camera bag, but more of a gadget and work bag, and I wish it had more organizational space for small random objects. the laptop compartment is small but it fits mine which is a HP Elitebook 840 laptop great.

Not sure what the problem is on the laptop, since it looks like an overall width issue, not a thickness issue, which is generally not a function of different vendors as they are generally all within a fraction of the screen width in terms size. I have no problem fitting my 2015 Macbook Pro 15.4" and my 2017 MSI 15" laptop and my Alienware 15 (obviously not at the same time). Also, I am able to put any of my laptops concurrently with my 12.9" iPad Pro, which I put into the little embedded secondary area in that same zippered area in that back pouch. Maybe it matters how full you have the bag, as I generally fill mine up to the second to last hook in the front, or possibly you got a mis-sized bag. I would definitely let them know at Peak Design, as they seem like a company that will take care of you. I have read that some have gotten extra dividers from them, as well as the new tote style multi-dividers. BTW, there is a trick to getting those straps in, which took me about 10 times to figure out, which is fairly obvious in retrospect (push it in with one hand in about 5 sections, while holding it straight out with the other). Good luck with your travels and all and GREAT VIDEO!

I just bought this bag and my biggest hesitation was the laptop slot, I have a 15" MacBook Pro and I want to use it as advertised, an everyday bag. Thank you so much for a really informative and entertaining review andIi would like you to know that peak design has updated and changed their website and it now lists the correct measurement of 14.35".

Side pockets look like a good spot for your lens cap

Ah that's a bummer about the laptop slot not really fitting all 15" models... I'm glad I didn't get the 13", otherwise the bag looks pretty solid. Thank you kickstater capture clip v3 for the discount :)

great in depth review. i kind of knew that this bag wasn't for me based on what i've seen from my friend's bag but your video confirmed it.

Nice review. I've had mine for about 2 months now, and I couldn't agree more. Especially the dividers. You can fold it in half and stack something on top, but then what. That 2nd item is totally unsupported and will clunk into anything next to it...unless you use another divider standing up. Now, you've only got one divider left for all your other stuff. Overall though, very nice bag. And nice review.

Great review. I was looking into buying this but your comment about the laptop compartment just saved me from making a bad purchase. Much Thanks. Keep up the great work. You will get popular in no time.

I tried watching a video made by the manufacturer on the REI website and literally fell asleep. The audio quality was torture. REI needs to ditch that video and post yours. Great job!

I have the bag, i'm very happy with it. I have a macbook pro 15 inches and it fits perfectly and I add when travelling my ipad mini in the ipad place with the computer. So I guess they designed it for mac. I am new to photography I had bought two back pack sort of bags and definitely this one fits better and looks a lot better. I have a mirrorless sony a7R and I don't have the clip so the camera goes in the bag. there is plenty of room for my camera, nd filters, four batteries, two remote control and 3/4 Lenses and I could fit more. I'm happy with it but then again, i never had another messenger bag to compare. I felt disapointed with the innner seperators but I kind of get the feeling that i didn't quite get how it works !

Just watched your review. I LOVE THE BAG!!! i've had it for a couple of weeks now and i've done a couple of 1 week long multi-city documentary work and it's held the gear i need. I noticed that you hated the dividers, peaks design has a youtube video to help you maximize the storage capability. Although i would say this isn't much of a run and gun type of bag.

Thanks so much for your honest review! I'm glad you showed your struggle with the laptop because it isn't an Apple product and therefor not meant to fit in photography gear. I don't use any Apple products so I suffer like you. I wonder if the only iPhone available when the bag was designed was small enough to fit in the side pockets you found useless? I see you made an update to this review which I'll check out now. Please, keep up the good work!

You got a new subscriber! I like how honest your review is. We're soon going to carry Peak Design products at the camera store where I work, so I was thinking of maybe going for the Everyday Messenger once we have it, since I'll have time to get familiar with it. Considering that my camera bags are my equivalents of purses, they need to fit pretty much everything I might need. Luckily, I'm using a mirrorless camera with only three lenses, all of which are decently short, so I might get some use out of the dividers, who knows, if I somehow manage to make the stacking thing work.

Thanks for the comprehensive review tho it was a bit on the long side. I almost bought the bag during the Kickstarter campaign, and I'm kinda glad I didn't. There's a few flaws in there that would really annoy me - and Dan Carr (Shuttermuse) also pointed out a couple of other design flaws in his review. It's quite a stylish and innovative bag with some interesting features & I reckon the MkII version, if they listen to feedback from users, could be killer.

1) You didn’t even try with the origami crap. Yes, you can pack larger, bulky items just fine, and fold the dividers in a way that will support them. I carry a Nikon D500 (without a vertical grip) with a 500mm PF prime mounted in mine. It doesn’t budge, and it slides in snugly into folded dividers, AND is suspended well away from the bottom and the sides. 2) Not sure what size your Dell Inspiron is (you mention the wide side is 15”, but that’s *not* a 15” laptop then - the 15” should be the diagonal), but my MacBook Pro 15” fits without a hitch. I know i’m writing this from a 4 years in the future perspective, but still, MacBook Pro has huge f-in bezels. I’m guessing today’s, more modern laptops, with near to no bezel, would fit even easier. 3) I’ve got the gray version and it doesn’t catch on my shirts, nor catch lint - BUT, the belt, weirdly, does catch on anything and everything, from my hair, to some shirts, to my camera straps. It’s bizarre. 4) The cover/flap is what annoys me the most - when the bag is filled out so most weight is on the ends, the flap sides fold outwards and look like crap. You can see it in your vid too in some places. Minor aesthetic niggle, yeah, but i always wonder if it will catch on something while i’m moving around (i’m a fatass, i bump into things all the time). 5) Side pockets are useless. I’m not even sure why they’re there. 6) Different strokes and all that, but i find the design exceedingly ugly. It looks like a cardboard mockup of a messenger bag.

Not even done watching yet. Still 15:27 in. Just had to say that I TOTALLY also think of the Slave I when looking at those dividers! Hahaha! Okay, I shall continue watching.

I'm very interested in the option to reverse the straps. Can you give a quick outline of how that can be done? I have the same bag, but the straps seem very strongly attached to the bag.

Very good review. This is clear, straight, and honest. Thank you for saving me some money.

great video Devon, a well deserved +1 to subscribe and hope you gain more popularity. Watched the whole video and echo other users that the production, thoroughness and quality of the video is fantastic. Really helped me think if the everyday messenger is for me or I should go for a cheaper alternative though enjoy the versatility it offers. Thanks!

Good review. This bag was in my shopping cart for a while, but I wanted to see if all of the innovations actually panned out. It sounds like the clasp on the front, and the strap are as good as advertised. The origami dividers... not so much. Keep up the great work.

Great review with a fantastic level of detail. Very thorough. I was really happy to watch the pros and the cons, instead of just another gushing review. I really like PD and you can tell the care that they put into the design of The Everyday Messenger.

Very nice review. I have this bag since december and its funny how we use bag different way :) For example I use the upper zipper A LOT ... basically its an access to my wallet stored in that tight pocket in the main department. Totally agree on dividers however I found very nice layout which absolutely fits my needs. PD videos related to that topic helped me a lot. I use one of the side pockets for keys and the other one for a knife. Also I store my radio trigger in the red drained battery compartment however I agree its not ideal. And luckily I have Macbook pro 13' which fits great. I thought that 15' cant get in. Thanks for confirmation. Probably the biggest issue I have with this bag is that the main department cover is somehow sticking out after a while ... don't know how to describe. Its more a fashion issue :) Again great review!

"Lack of popularity" LOL. Thanks for the review! Hope you didn't scratch your laptop.

Regarding the dividers, have you looked at their video explaining how to use them? I agree that three may be not enough, but the folds they can do make platforms and do fold down to multiple sizes.

The strap has an issue the bottom slot can come undone. PeakDesign is aware of the issue they say they are reworking it.

That was a very very gooood review. Thanks from Switzerland!

I for one appreciate seeing products in real world action and thank you for providing that content. agree video/audio top notch!

well done. I've mine in charcoal and love it.

Hi Dev, I agree with Reskiy. I did not mind the length of the video at all. A quality in depth review does take time. I am just happy that you did not weasel out of the review like some others with statements like...'I can not determine if this is the bag for you. It will depend on your shooting style and your budget'. Don't get me wrong, you started off like a fan for a second like the evil ones had gotten to you to convince you to do a positive review, but once I got past your pros, you started consistently talking about your disappointments. Right now, I am going to say that I am still on the fence. One part of me says get it because of what you shared at the end of the video with all the stuff that you can pack as well as I like the tripod concept. Another part of me is saying that it is bigger than what I would like and the most important feature is the overhead zipper and your experience has found it to be ineffective..... I have not seen any other bags with the peak's level of style and functionality; so I might end up getting it by default, but for now, I am going to do some more research. Thanks for sharing your experience and happy shooting.

Thank you for taking the time to review this bag. I was thinking of getting one, but not now! To be honest it doesn't seem that secure with those mag clips. Keep reviewing

Great review Devon. Subscribed! Best of luck to with this channel.

Great video, I really enjoyed your critical view, helped a lot. I actually are (am? is?) thinking about the new sling version for lightweight gear and was thinking is the messenger better. And would'v wanted to know about your opinion about the weather and water proofing.. noticed your face when you mentioned so maybe it's not greatest. My current camera bag is fully "water" proof and I have noticed I kinda walk in a rain a lot so thats important.. aaanyhoo. good video. *thumbs up*

love your review aside from the laptop bit "my laptop is about the size of a macbook pro"..... seriously? That bulky thing is gigantic.

Hey Devon, Great review. Ive been looking at this bag for a long time now and Ive seen more and more people complain about the exterior pockets and laptop pouch. Thank you for such an unbiased review as many people seemed to miss those flaws that newer reviews are showcasing. You didn't really talk about the field pouch and how it could potentially be used to store those "larger" bulky items. Any comments on how well it could do in storing charging brick type things in the bag? I'm really mostly interested in this bag as a regular use bag and a camera bag second. I usually only take photos for an event annually and occasionally for my uni projects where I only carry a camera and maybe a second lens. How do you think the bag would hold up for use outside of being a camera bag? Do you see it being usable as a cycling bag? Most people have reviewed this as a camera bag and not an everyday bag, everyone is missing the one side of the bag that I'm interested in most. Thanks in advanced

You had me at the "don't listen to this loser" tag. Nice review man! Looking forward to more. You've got a new subscriber here.

Spot on review! I wanted to love this bag as much as I love the company but it just fell short. I do hope they make a backpack soon.

Some many great points, and many of them I personally experienced when just testing this bag. You are so right on with this review.

I just got my Peak Everyday Messenger today and I'm hesitant on keeping it. I also found the dividers incredibly frustrating and couldn't figure out an easy configuration to fit all of my gear into. I use an Incase Sling Pack that is much smaller and it fits a FF dSLR+lens, A7+lens, and two more primes, plus my laptop! I was hoping the Everyday messenger would fit all of that and more, but it's really tough. If I could use one word to describe the bag, it would be...STIFF. Great review though! And since you were able to put up with some of its shortcomings, maybe I'll consider keeping the bag and figuring out better ways to utilize it. Also the brown looks beautiful in your video, but not so much in other videos. I bought the gray because of that, but now I wish I had a brown...

Thanks for the in-depth review, very helpful in listing all the pros & cons.

+Davon VP Peak Design has a video with instructions on how to reverse and how to configure the straps. And another one on how to configure the dividers. Maybe they can help you with your bag.

Great and thorough video. As a viewer and consumer of quality products I can deeply appreciate that =) Definitely a thumbs up here. I came upon this video while considering to purchase one of their newer models (One that isn't a messenger one), and I thought maybe this way I'll get a non bias idea of their quality in materials and design... you know, just to see how much of it is just hype. This review helps a lot. Thank you! (:

Great review. On the Messenger bag, will the tripod crush the equipments inside the bag? Thank you very much

Good in-depth review and well done! I've had the bag for a little over a month now and love it. It took me a couple of days to figure out how I wanted to use the dividers, but once I did I was good to go. I put my smaller gear in the bottom and fold them over to put more (larger stuff) on top. I agree that it would be nice to have another divider or two though - I stand my external drives up in there and it would be nice if each had it's own spot instead of putting two or three in one spot. I actually just took the stability straps off because I didn't use them and it allows the bag to expand a bit more on the ends. As for the pockets on the end, I usually stick lens caps or cloths in there when I'm shooting - temporary storage. Subscribed. #372

Definitely subscribed after this! Very honest and charismatic review man!

Thanks for the video. I just purchased the grey version and I appreciate the honesty! Keep it up

Awesome review, you have just saved me some hard earned money by helping me decide that this bag is not for me. Nothing against Peak Design, I have other products of theirs and was looking at buying this bag. Again, thanks for the review, sometimes hard to find a fair and honest, non-fanboy review of products. And yes, I did subscribe to your channel.

Great video, awesome quality... and good review as well. I learnt something from your review about the bag, the 2nd stabilisation strap to make it a waist one... i had only used one side and used it connected to the main strap. I was sort of expecting more feedback while out on the trails but it was all good.

So is this messenger bag just for Camera 📷 equipment? Because it doesn’t seem like it is an everybody everyday messenger bag; more like a messenger bag for camera equipment. Am I correct in this assumption? I’ve been looking for a good messenger bag,but I am not a photographer!

Great review man! Just bought the charcoal. Very helpful!

awesome review! well done, those honest review will get you far

Nice work. Always keep your honesty like that and I believe your channel will grow very fast. + 1 subscriber now!

This or the backpack for everyday use?

Good review. I enjoyed it. This bag got marked off my list thanks to you. I will be ordering a bag from taobao here in china instead of trying to find one of these.

nice video! A little advice: use centimeters and meters instead of inches and feet when you talk about dimensions if you want to go international with your channel! Nice work by the way :) Cheers from Italy

Great video! Looking and this seriously helped on the decision making process!

great video thank you.. but could you tell me the size of this bag? is it the 13 or the 15? thanks

Great review other than the fact that you don't seem to understand how to use the dividers, granted they have a bit of a learning curve, but a "critical" reviewer should understand how a product fully works. Peak Design has a couple of videos on how to use the dividers, I know its weird to watch a tutorial on how to use a bag but its incredibly helpful

Very thorough and interesting review. I thing I'll go with the Tenba Messenger bag instead. Thanks a lot and keep up the good work! :)

Excellent review... i'm looking for a similar bag for my business travel. When I travel I try to take with me my Canon 70D with the 18-135mm lens. Currently i'm using a general haversack which sometimes is somewhat cumbersome. Add to this a small laptop or tablet, some documents, a book and other minor things and the bag is full. Would the everyday messenger bag be any good?

Best review I've seen on this bag. Very helpful, thank you...

So I take it you like the color blue? lol. Great review. thank you very much. It si their first release and hopefully they will make it better.

Hi Devon, very complete review, and pretty clear. Wich camera did you use for recording this video? Thanks

Great review. You've earned yourself an extra subscriber.

Great review. Have you worked out where to put your mobile yet (opps, sorry cell)? I put mine in the slot at the top of the bag, the one at the back that is lined in blue. There it is very secure and accessible by using the top zip. I tend to agree with you about the dividers. They frustrate me sometimes!

Great review! Have you come across any good backpack style bags that would be suitable for camera stuff? Unfortunately most actual camera bags seem to be ugly as sin and too bulky, and its really hard to find a suitable non-camera bag that keeps lenses etc safe but easily accessible. I'm considering this back, but would prefer a backpack to keep the weight even (plus it would be more versatile I think)

I have to say thank you for that good video!

Awesome review.. Been reading and watching so many reviews and I am still on the fence for this purchase....every time I am about to buy it I stop myself. The price is too high to not like it. But fair if I end up liking it. My main concern is comfort. If I do buy it its first test would be a 2week vacation at Disney next month...so I'm debating on either getting this bag vs a backpack since it'll be on me for quite some time. I don't expect to carry too much. Could you see yourself carrying it all day on your shoulder comfortably? Any insight would be awesome.

very nice review , i reaally love the bag , the looks , the colors , everything ... just not the price for it other bags that are just as big and pretty are arround 100 euro .. that's sad

I don't like this bag and I have many. I have had cheaper messenger-type bags from amazon that proved to be more versatile. The camera industry is in a bubble now, so many products will be released around it. However, in the issue of the laptop, I would not recommend using a bag with laptop + camera + lenses. It becomes excessively heavy and everything in there starts to hit each other pretty badly as time goes by. I would recommend using one big travel suitcase for everything to leave at the hotel and a second smaller bag to take with you with only the things you will need for each assignment.

Thank you for the thorough review. Subscribed! One quick question, how is the weight? Does it strss out your back? Thank you

Is the outside fabric noisy? I shoot events where I need to be as quiet as possible. No velcro, no loud zippers, no noisy fabrics.

Hey Devon, do you still use this? I'm interested in peak designs products but I don't want to purchase if I won't use them long.
