A long time (in fact a few years) I was searching for a worthy replacement for my beloved, 27 year old travel bag. This was until now. This bag is exactly, what I was looking for. Beautiful, stylish,rugged but light... I ordered it, although I supposed to pay a lot of customs fee and shipping cost (I live in Germany) but surprisingly it shipped from the Netherlands. So, thanks for your good work at Peak Design, see you again in another 27 years ;-)
Since travel has been slowed, I've been using it for work. Laptop stays safe, pockets on the side for my chargers. Just love it, still looks like I just pulled it out the box.
Got my bag and a couple of cubes last week, bag is by far the best, weekend bag, pool house bag, change of clothes for the golf course bag, and car bag! Constantly looking for other ways to utilize this bag! But with that being said, and as much thought and chameleon like ways to Cary and use zippers! I like many others that have reviewed this wonderful bag was very disappointed in the magnetic handles on the bag to th point i almost cut them off the bag due to lack of function. Please try to fix this problem or do away with the magnets and put a Velcro flap around them so at least they will stay together.
I've owned several of Peak design bags (everyday backpack v1, sling, travel backpack) and after having tried those, i can say that i like the duffel the best. It is my weekend bag, travel bag, gym bag, etc. Just the right size and has lots of space, especially when combined with the packing cubes. The only way I'm getting anything else is if they improve the duffel!
Bought this duffel bag for my husband for Christmas. The shipping process was smooth and quick which is a big accomplishment with the postal service lately! The duffel itself is clearly well made and well thought out. The size is perfect and I love all of the pockets - I'll have to buy myself one too. My only note would be that it would be great to be able to hide the backpack straps like the larger duffel can.
Great all around bag for a weekend away or short week trip. Material feels high quality and looks great. Love the look of over the shoulder or wearing as a backpack if heavy. Green is neutral for men or woman.
I had a twice as much expensive duffel bag before buying this Peak Design one, but in overall quality/looks/functionality this PD duffel is better in everything! I got so many compliments on this bag...even from my mom who always wants me to buy/have a "girly" version of everything. This one is definitely a keeper, and perfect for short trips.
