As a professional writer, my backpack is like an extension of my body. I take it everywhere and it contains the tools I need for doing what I do. For a backpack to make the cut with me, it needs to be rugged, keep my things organized, allow me to easily access any one thing at any moment, and yeah — it’s gotta look good, too. So far, the best backpack I’ve found for this is the Peak Design Everyday Backpack V2.
Now, there are a lot of backpacks out there and every company tries to paint theirs as being the greatest. I haven’t tried all of them, but I’ve burned through a ton, and the Everyday V2 is the only one that’s impressed me on every single level. In fact, it is one of the few products I’ve ever owned that I’ve used for more than a year and still feel just as happy as I did the day I put it on for the first time.
