tldr; V2 improvements. Better straps, refined design. Still pricey, still photographer-focused.

Best praise vs top criticism for Peak Design Everyday Backpack V2
“If it won't put you in the red, just do it. Life is short. You don't wanna die regretting that backpack you should've got! 😂 I've got the Pro 2 and I love it. Comfortable with good padding and weighting, heaps of utility, and it looks great. Ladies stop and stare as I pass, and only *most* of the time do I hear them whisper "urgh, he's one of those backpack guys".”
“I used the EDB 20L V2 as my office EDC for two years before finally admitting to myself that it was uncomfortable as hell and I hated it. Moved to the Evergoods CPL24 and CTB26 after trying a few other brands and haven’t looked back.”
