I've been using this bag for one month, I am very satisfied with the quality of the bag. And the most remarkable thing that I want to mention is the texture of the bag provide excellent protection on our gear. There is one time I was on the boat, I placed the bag at a place that I did not noticed that having the problem of water leaking. Thanks to the duffel, my gear is save from seawater. And it is easy to clean up the duffel bag too. Overall, it is a wonderful bag in your adventure.
I love that Peak Design has taken the classic duffel and given it some updates. The organization and pockets on this thing make it so much more than just a duffel. There is plenty of space in the main cabin (especially if you use their packing cubes, which you should because they're also awesome) to get what I need for a quick getaway or even a trip where I'm packing light (think Hawaii with just swimsuits every day). I got it in the black color and it looks super sleek and unassuming, even though it's packing a punch. Great bag, and I love that it's the most affordable in the line as well.
This duffel is the perfect addition to the Peak Design lineup. It's the same great quality as LITERALLY everything else sold by them. I absolutely love the versatility of the straps and how you can switch them up to carry it however your heart desires. Adding the Packing Cubes also give the bag more space where you can compress what you pack and allow you to carry more. This is my now 6th item purchased and I am still in love as I was on day 1. Keep up the great work PD!!!
A lot of nicely thought details, amazing built quality, really nice stuff ! Hand-carry straps might be improved though: could be more comfortable when grabbed (maybe I didn't find the best way to use them yet, but the form factor of the handles, and maybe the magnet thing is not perfect to me), and are useless in backpack mode to me when wearing a parka (straps are too short). I hope to see an alternate version of these straps someday, maybe available as an option. Packing and camera cubes are perfect to me, the whole system works very well. I of course recommend it !
I've been using duffel bags as a weekend bag and for longer trips as a carry on. This duffel is stylish, tough, and functional. Even loaded with 22lbs of camera and other gear the handle and shoulder strap were comfortable. Adjusting the handles into the backpack configuration did not work because they did not give enough room to comfortably carry on my shoulders (that's why I gave it one less star). Compartments and zippers were all great with no issues. Best duffel I've owned.
Been looking for a well designed bag with aesthetics and features in mind. Found the duffel to have everything I needed with the extra utility pockets. So far, the design captures everything I needed. After 2 months of use, I haven't found of anything else I would have added.
