Road Tests :: Peak Design Everyday Messenger
…e more excited to see what they had in store. “What stands out to me about Peak Design, is they are a company that solves problems you don’t even know you have.” As bag reviewers, camera bags are one of the topics we get asked most about and that we feel most passionate about. When you are out shooting, whether it’s exploring a new city for pleasure, or on assignment, your camera bag can be a real sore point. I feel like a camera bag should be pre…

Peak Design Everyday Backpack 20L Review :: Drive By
…o a party at a downtown bar. There, I ran into Art Viger, head designer at Peak Design. I immediately asked him if he had any of the bags with him. He produced the Everyday Sling and told me I had a little bit of time to look it over and list all the flaws of the prototype. He was expecting a call with the factory to go over the tweaks that needed to be applied. I had twenty minutes. I’ve seen many bags but here I was, trying to scrutinize a proto…

Mobile By Peak Design: Bringing Stability to a Dynamic Tool
…what this means. Magnets The secret sauce to Mobile is obviously: magnets. Peak Design uses a magnet array placed at four corners of a zirconia ceramic ring (really more of a square). This allows the phone to attach to a variety of accessories and mounts. The ceramic ring gives it a stable mating surface and assures the two pieces home in on each other, while the magnets assure the pieces stay attached. The magnets are at their strongest perpendic…
Peak Design Everyday Sling 10L Review
…p, which was developed through a successful Kickstarter campaign in 2011. Peak Design has since moved on to develop other camera accessories and bags but has never strayed from its founding principles. They are dedicated to creating thoughtfully designed products that solve problems, resist trends, and limit their impact on the earth. I feel like in the carry community, and consumerist culture at large, we often hear that a company is committed…
Travel Better with Peak Design’s New and Improved Collection
Peak Design, where do we begin? We’ve admired Peak Design since their Kickstarter inception, and we’ve enjoyed watching them reshape and remodel staples of the carry, photography, and travel industries, from camera slings, to everyday backpacks, all the way through to tripods.

Peak Design Everyday Backpack Zip vs Everyday Backpack V2
…2010, no other bag company has been as successful through crowdfunding as Peak Design. In fact, they are the most funded brand EVER on Kickstarter.

Despite all of the success via crowdfunding, Peak Design decided to make their new collection, called the E…
Peak Design Field Pouch V2 Slingbag Review
…www.youtube.com/watch?v=0Kmn1-wfgSo I already own the first version of the Peak Design Field Pouch. But I never reviewed it, because I disliked the Velcro closing and feared that it wouldn’t be strong enough to keep the main compartment closed while riding a motorcycle for instance. But now I have the second version. Are the improvements good enough and my fears about the Velcro resolved? Let’s find out. This is the Peak Design Field Pouch V2, a 1…

5 Key Elements | Designing The Peak Design Everyday Messenger
…on and a kick in the pants that we needed to actually take on the project. Peak’s Unique Approach to Design In a funny way, the design is a product of our ignorance about how most companies design bags, and our incredibly stubborn and lofty list of design goals. Our requirements for the bag looked like a list of ransom demands. For example, the access requirements were to be instant, secure, expandable, have one-handed entry, no flapping webbing t…
