The Everyday Messenger bag can grow from a 13.5 litre capacity up to a 20.5 litre capacity, and has a semi-rigid outer shell to help the bag  protect your gear and its shape. The bag has room for a laptop and a tablet as well as quite a few photography related items (between 2-3 lenses and a camera typically). The bag has a unique magnetic latch system, side pockets and a special place to attach Peak Design special capture camera clip on the side.
