Pricy, but solid quality like you’d expect from PD. Debates between the 50L and 65L, and opted for the 65L to optionally use it for longer trips as well. Glad I did the 65L.
Watch the demos of all the bags. They are spot on and super helpful.
First up - they fixed the handles. They now have snaps and feel very comfortable in the hand. Everything about this bag oozes excellence and quality. I couldn't find any manufacturing flaws at all. Whatever process they use to build these things, they have definitely mastered it. I love everything about this bag and it is a real pleasure to take a trip with this in hand. Also, I can't recommend the packing cubes enough - they really complement the bag and result in a great packing experience. Congratulations to Peak Design for crafting this gem.
I bought this a weak ago and I only did so they promoted magnetic handels, I was very disappointed they didn't have this option in the colour chose. I bought the purple/red looking one but no magnets and no leather feel for the handels
I used this bag for a Central Asia trip of two weeks. Held all my stuff great. I have never really traveled with a duffle before this bag. I thought the bottom grips my hand naturally went to when slinging over one arm was brilliant design.
Zippers were great. Storage was great. If there was one thing that I would suggest is stronger magnets on the 35L handles so they stayed together easier. Airplane overhead space was easy. I anticipate this bag to last many years on many trips.
This is the 4th Peak Designs different bag I’ve bought and the quality, functionality and style are always exceptional. It’s mainly been camera bags before but the bag is for weekend travel and the gym. Love it
Does exactly what it should with amazing Peak design like normal. Same complaint as everyone else that the magnets should be stronger but not a deal breaker.
This bag (50L Sage Duffel) serves my purposes for travel. However beware that there is internal structure that cannot be removed from the length of the bag and so it will not compress beyond 15in.~ at length. I worry that this hardware may eventually break or wear through the fabric with no easy access to remove it.
Overall good materials with room to improve the design in minor ways, a four star product with 3 star storefront info.
