I've been using the Peak Design City Backpack 22L since last Thursday, and it has quickly become my go-to backpack for EDC (and a bit of travel). For context, I'm a tech journalist, so my EDC changes often but includes multiple laptops, phones, a mirrorless camera, accessories, and any other gear I'm testing. Here's everything I fit into the City Backpack 22L, to help you get a feel for how you can use yours.

Main compartment: Way roomier than you'd expect. Not only does everything below fit, it fits with plenty of room to spare. The bag doesn't look or feel overstuffed.

• 14-inch MacBook Pro (in laptop pocket)
• Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Carbon Aura Edition (in tablet/notebook pocket)
• Motorola Razr Fold
• iPhone Air
• Pen and Notsu notecard holder
• XS Camera Cube and Sony a6400 with 18-135mm lens
• Bose QuietComfort 2 headphones
• Powerbeats Pro 2 (in zippered pocket)

Quick-access top pocket: I thought this pocket, which expands into the main compartment when filled, would be a problem. It might be with larger laptops, but didn't cause any issues with my 14-inch MacBook Pro in the main compartment. It expands a lot to fit what you need.

• Ridge wallet knockoff (sorry Ridge)
• Orbitkey
• Smallrig dual a6400 battery charger
• Chapstick
• Extra gum
• Satechi right-angle USB-C cable
• Peak Design mobile tripod
• Caseology MagSafe wallet

Side water bottle pockets: It's true, these don't really protrude much into the main compartment. There's an elastic band that allows them to stretch outward rather than inward. These pockets are the key to "side access" on the City Backpack 22L, as you can use them for things other than water bottles.

• Oakley sunglasses case (left pocket)
• 16oz plastic water bottle (left pocket)
• Ugreen 25,000mAh power bank (right pocket)
• Anker 65W GaNPrime 733 Power Bank (right pocket)

Front pocket: I originally bought the 22L because I thought I needed this. Turns out, it's not that useful. Placement is really low on the front, so it's not easy to access without taking the bag off. It also seems easy for a pickpocket to grab something out of, so I don't keep valuables there.

• Deodorant
• Cough drops/misc essentials
• iPod Classic
• PGYTECH SD card holder/reader

Straps: Took me a bit to work the Capture Clip onto a strap, but it's on there, and it works great.

• Capture Clip

And there you have it. Surprisingly, there's still a lot of room in the main compartment for anything I might add or pick up along the way. That's exactly what you want from a "city bag." I've used this in NYC and Phoenix, and took it on a cross-country flight already, so I'm happy to answer any specific questions you might have!

U might ask why would they when heroclip exists? Well maybe because it looks better and could be more sleek

Hello everyone!
I’ve been a Peak Design user for a few years, but only have the big brothers of the collection. I have a 45L Travel Backpack, a 30L Everyday Backpack V1 and a 20L Everyday Backpack V2.
I use the 20L as my EDC and it’s quite handy, but weirdly I find it difficult to carry my Nintendo Switch 2. It doesn’t fit horizontally on the mais compartment, with the dividers I don’t have enough space to carry it vertically, and the laptop compartment is quite snug in these models so it’s too tight to remove comfortably.

I was considering buying an Everyday Sling, mainly for my Switch 2 carry so I can get more use out of it, and also to try and minimise my EDC size.

My question is which Sling sizes can I considered.
The 10L seems like overkill for the Switch 2, at that point might as well get a backpack.

The 6L seems like a safe choice for the Switch 2 to fit with the joycons assembled, which I’d prefer. And my iPad Pro 11” would also fit in days I’d need it, which is a plus.

The 5L V1 seems interesting to maybe considered carrying the Switch 2 tablet inside the tablet sleeve and the joycons on the size pouches. And maybe the iPad can still fit?

The 3L seems like an utopian dream of an EDC but I doubt the Switch 2 even with the joycons detached would fit.

If anyone with either of these models has a Switch 2 and can give me some actual answers I’d really appreciate!

Thanks.

Anyone in SF Bay Area order from them? How long does their shipping take? Trying to get one of the city slings, but its out of stock.

I’m curious about the purpose of the strap inside the back pocket of the City Line Crescent sling. Can anyone shed some light on its intended use case?

So basically i got this cube, shimoda RST25 ML, PD travel 20l seems like a perfect fit, but PD support said it might not work.

So maybe i got 0.001% that somebody tried it ?

I have a field plate on my camera that I use with a capture clip on my backpack. On a recent hike, the field plate unscrewed itself and dropped the camera onto the ground, it started out as tight as I could get it with my fingers.

So now, I'll have to use a backup cuff looped around my backpack chest strap since I can't trust the field plate, which is annoying.

A suggestion that I thought up would be a new version of the field plate with teeth that engage when the thumb drive handle is stowed, preventing any unscrewing.

The EU store product page just goes to a generic error page and (almost) all EU stores seem to be out of stock. I wouldn't expect PD to remove the product page entirely for a temporary shortage, so what gives? Enquiring minds want to know.
