[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The pack itself is a good gift for my husband- however, the packaging arrived very damaged- I am not sure if that was from your warehouse or the shipping company.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Love the new organizational pockets, and the bag works great for traveling. It is comfortable and functional!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I like the built quality of the backpack. The 31L option is a good middle ground between short-term travel & daily use/work. The clamshell opening makes grabbing my laptop super easy. I liked the zipper on the water bottle pocket. It can comfortably fit larger water bottles, and the zipper takes the bulkiness away when you are not using it. I enjoyed the attention to detail in the design. For everyday use, the zippers, the pockets, and the sleeves are more than enough to keep my things well organized. For longer-term use (and if you care about backpack organization as I do), you might want to invest in a tech kit/electronics bag to go with this backpack. I'm pretty sure the photography add-ons can be repurposed for traveling or to store electronics neatly, but I didn't go that route.
I'm a TV news field producer which means getting sent places last minute and never knowing what curve balls lie ahead. My bags are always packed and I'm limited to carry-on only due to the need for speed. The 41L PRVKE replaced a lineage of High Sierra backpacks that served me well over probably a decade. Every pocket had its purpose. The PRVKE is a little intimidating at first. It takes some getting used to, not unlike a Volkswagen. My gadgetry includes 2 phones, a wireless mic system, two tablets, a laptop and a veritable plethora of cables, dongles, and do-dads. I'm still fine-tuning the pocketry. Being an air traveler means I'd rather have the car keys safely behind several zippers. And I need a couple of charging cables more readily available. But these issues are minute compared to the bliss of PRVKE's cavernous monstrosity of a main compartment. Sure, I can fit a camera in there and that's helpful. But I can also fit a foot-long sub plus my book and a jacket, and that's golden when going through airports.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Ive been using the prvke for about a month now, mainly while skiing. The camera cube easily fits a DJI mini, gopro, and my rebel. Everything has stayed completely dry even in heavy wet snow conditions. The roll top is large enough for a packable puffer, hat and gloves, food etc. The gear straps were beefy enough to hold a pair skis and poles. I ordered the tech pouch with it to hold extra batteries, sd cards, external hard drive etc and am very happy with it. I purchased this bag with the hopes to consolidate into 1 bag and so far this bag is it.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The only big gripe I have about the bag is how dark and cavernous is when I open up the roll top. I've had the bag about a week now and it's the only literal complaint I have about it. Hoping in future bags they would use white or orange interiors to make finding things easier.
Loved the fit and size of this pack. Half the pack safely held the camera with plenty of room for carry on items. Stored easily in overhead rack on international flight. Easy on the back with straps adjusted. I was concerned about travel alone carrying everything but it was made easy with this pack.
