Overview

Peak Design Everyday Messenger Version 2 Overview

The 13L ash-colored Everyday Messenger v2 from Peak Design is a versatile messenger-style bag designed for photographers, multimedia creators, or anyone else whose carrying requirements can benefit from its compressible, size-adjustable design that minimizes bulk or can be expanded as needed. Multiple magnetic latches for its front flap allow this bag to vary from 11.7" to 14.2" in height, while inside the main compartment, its two dividers can be configured according to the specific equipment being carried. The dividers are foldable, and can cradle curved surfaces such as the grip of a camera with an attached lens. During use, the foldable dividers enhance protection between those curved surfaces and adjacent items while minimizing the area between them for more efficient use of the main compartment's space.

Under the front flap, a wide opening for the Everyday Messenger v2's main compartment makes it easy to store and remove items. Located within the main compartment, the bag's dedicated pockets for a 12.9" tablet computer, a 15" laptop, as well as documents are positioned to rest against the wearer while in use, while a zippered organizer pocket along the inside of the front flap provides storage for pens, business cards, keys, and small electronics. A pocket with a zippered opening along the front panel which faces away from the wearer is a convenient space for books, notepads, documents, or snacks; and for larger items such as a tripod, monopod, or packable clothing, external carry straps are included to secure such items along the bottom of the Everyday Messenger v2.

While its padded, adjustable shoulder strap allows this bag to be worn along or across the body, the Everyday Messenger v2 can also be carried using its built-in top handle. For an enhanced fit, one of the external carry straps can be used as a waist belt to prevent the bag from unintentionally shifting around the wearer such as when riding on a bicycle.

Featuring a durable nylon construction, the Everyday Messenger v2 is built to be weather resistant. To further protect its contents should the bag be placed on a wet surface, the bottom panel is waterproof. When traveling with a rolling case that has a telescoping handle, a pass-through band across the Everyday Messenger v2's rear panel allows the entire bag to be mounted onto such handles for added convenience.

Started with Messenger, Added Backpack
I purchased the Messenger at a local camera store and loved it. I am going on a trip and purchased the Backpack. It is sitting next to me now and ready to go! Everything fit great and the Youtube videos were very helpful. I also bought some of the little snaps for my camera strap - simple and helpful.

Overall does the job
I switched from a v1 10L Sling. I needed to carry a 13" MacBook Pro and an iPad and the Sling couldn't handle it. The Messenger is larger and has a place for the laptop and the iPad. So, score! I can also carry my Fuji 100F and a set of headphones with a lot of space for more items when I need to carry more for work. The bag is pretty stiff so it doesn't sit close to your side, however, if you wear it across your back it is fine. The strap is a little odd compared to the Sling which was a pleasure to use. The strap seems to be on backwards, or connected so the strap is crossed. I don't know. Bottom line, I am very happy with the bag. It does what I wanted it to do. The strap is a minor item and I can't reduce the number of stars because of it.

Not a step forward?
I got this to replace my V1 15" Messenger. There are features of the V1 I like better: Outside access to both laptop pocket and incidentals pocket (great place for passport, etc.). On this one you need to open the whole thing for access to almost anything. Still a nice bag, but I'm a little disappointed. Wish I hadn't sold my V1.

Regression over first version
I always liked my V1 Messenger and wanted to have another bag. I have to say I'm disappointed with this new version. It feels slightly smaller. Also has less storage pockets and the storage is less accessible (for example the V1 had a big zipper along the top for direct access to the main compartment). The material is also more stiff it feels the bag is working against you when trying to open and hold open the main flap. All in all a regression over the V1 which is a real shame as that was the perfect bag IMO.

My trusted dailylife messenger bag
I backed the v1 of the 15’´ messenger bag on Kickstarter years ago and I’ve been joyfully abusing it ever since. I can put my laptop, Switch, e-reader, iPad, external battery, and matching cables... It can even hold my Oculus quest, or spare cloths etc. It’s all neat, adaptative, durable... and stylish too!

More than a camera bag
Love the design and water resistance material. It is not only for camera gears but also can use it for daily office bag.

Excellent
I have version 1 of the bag and I absolutely love it. Durable, easy to access and customize, comfortable. Very, very pleased with my purchase. Hard to see where people would find fault with this bag.

The bag I purchased is satisfactory.
The overall design and function of the messenger bag are satisfactory. It seems a little improved compared to the previous version, but the cushion on the shoulder strap is a little insufficient compared to the capacity of the bag. Overall good.

Great messenger bag
It is always all about Design, Quality and Functionality. I recently bought this V2 in a retail shop, knowing V1 (or V1.5) already from a friend, with the hope to get the same extraordinary usability combined with a greater design. Unfortunately I returned it and bought here one of the last V1.5 messenger. Advantages - relevant for me - yes, a new design which is a bit better than the prev. one - new zipper concept for the front pocket - some new interieur pockets - zipper for the side-pockets Disadvantages compared to V1.5 - no external access to the MacBook I tried it out several times with this V2 version, but I gave up - always totally open the bag is a step backward - no quick access via zipper to smaller items of the main compartement - front pocket is much too small, even with the better access via the new zipper concept (this was important to me) Unfortunately the design with V2 was pushed a bit too strong. Especially the very special features with the external access to the main compartment and the external MacBook pocket are lost for a cleaner look. That´s a pity. Really! Another example is the luggage pass-through which overtakes the complete back now, which is a bit lost of space. The V1.5 solution worked already and looked great. Nevertheless, it is still an outstanding bag and worth to buy. But it lost some extra-ordinary features to improve the design. You do not make something wrong buying this version. The quality is simple worth a wow!
