It comes in 20L and 30L, the 20L retailing for US$259.95 in four colours: Black, Charcoal, Ash, and Tan. I chose Charcoal." categories: - "Case, Dock & Bag" tags: - 20L - backpack - everyday backpack - Kickstarter - Peak Design --- [Peak Design Everyday Backpack](https://www.peakdesign.com/global/products/everyday-backpack) was born out of a [Kickstarter](https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/peak-design/the-everyday-backpack-tote-and-sling) project more than two years ago. The Kickstarter project raised a total of US$6,565,782 from 26,359 backers for Peak Design. There are two sizes of the Everyday Backpack, 20L, and 30L. The 20L retails for **US$259.95 (S$353)** while the 30L retails for **US$289.95 (S$393)**. Four colors are available for both sizes, Black, Charcoal, Ash, and Tan. I bought the Charcoal because it is their flagship color. I am a [Flickr Pro](https://www.flickr.com/people/lesterchan/) member and you probably did not know that Flickr Pro member has a one-time 20% discount for purchasing Peak Design products. You can get the coupon code from your [account page](https://www.flickr.com/account) under Pro Perks. I used that coupon code to buy this bag, [Peak Design Field Pouch](https://lesterchan.net/blog/2019/07/05/peak-design-field-pouch/), and [Peak Design Leash ](https://lesterchan.net/blog/2019/07/01/peak-design-leash/). That is the maximum purchase I can do without the need to pay 7% Goods and Services Tax (GST) back in Singapore. Delivery for all three items cost US$24.95 (S$34). Here are whats included in the packaging: - 1x Everyday Backpack - 3x FlexFold Dividers - 1x Anchor - 4x External Carry Straps - 1x PD Sticker - 1x Key Tether [![Peak Design Everyday Backpack 20L - Packaging Front](https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/48132425293_566ba6e204_c.jpg "Peak Design Everyday Backpack 20L - Packaging Front")](https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/48132425293_4f031beee9_o.jpg "Peak Design Everyday Backpack 20L - Packaging Front") [![Peak Design Everyday Backpack 20L - Packaging Back](https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/48132393731_b41a7c47c0_c.jpg "Peak Design Everyday Backpack 20L - Packaging Back")](https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/48132393731_5b92f9ab2a_o.jpg "Peak Design Everyday Backpack 20L - Packaging Back") Without any contents in the bag, the Everyday Backpack is already heavy at 1.4kg. It measures 46cm in height, 30cm in width, and 17cm in depth.

[![Peak Design Everyday Backpack 20L - Left Straps](https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/48132484172_e98be728df_c.jpg "Peak Design Everyday Backpack 20L - Left Straps")](https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/48132484172_43db6b5db2_o.jpg "Peak Design Everyday Backpack 20L - Left Straps") All the metal buckles of the staps are made from anodized aluminum with a sandblasted finish with a protective clear coat. Hypalon is a type of synthetic rubber made from chlorosulfonated polyethylene, and only the Charcoal color has Hypalon touchpoints.

After zipping it up, you can buckle the zipper pull to the loops on the bag.

Since I am not using as a camera bag, it is not that useful for me.
