Lots of space and features
on March 27, 2025
Posted by: Kel
I got the 25L bag as part of the kick starter. Since then I’ve used it for both hiking and multi-week work trips. The bag has a surprising amount of space but still packs down tight. I fit my camera cube, clothes for a week+, toiletries, and 2 laptops in. It was tight, but it all fit in an overhead space on planes. I compliment the backpack with the 7L sling, which fits my book and snacks for traveling.
Overall, I love it. It is roomy and comfy, key points for me. I do have to say that it feels a bit too complicated at times. I also wish the attachment points for the various straps were a bit easier to clip into. They kinda lay flat and make it tough to quickly clip in.

I purchased this bag to use for a travel kit for photography. While I can certainly configure it for a small kit, I do find it to be a bit heavy when adding the packing cubes (ie. the medium and the xxs) and my 16" MacBook Pro. Additionally, I am a 6'4" man with a somewhat athletic build and broad shoulders and find that the shoulder straps and quite tight and small. I will use the bag around town mostly slinging it on one shoulder but most likely not use it for any long trips requiring it to be on both shoulders. Construction is excellent as with all Peak Design Products.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Almost the perfect bacpack

This could be the perfect weekend camera backpack. it's comfortable to carry/wear, doesn't weigh a lot when empty, rugged and a great size to fit everything in. When I first got this backpack it took me a little while to get used to the opening but now I think is great. my only gripe about this is the cord when closed is a bit untidy, I would have liked either a small magnet or a clip that could hold it in place.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Typical Peak Design and that’s a good thing!

I bought both the 25 and 45l back packs on kickstarter and they’ve both been fantastic - great design with real innovations around accessing contents of the bag and the external storage. Super comfortable to wear for hours and quality of build that I have no doubt will last me many years.
I would recommend this to a friend!

I purchased this bag through the Kickstarter and I’m currently using it to replace my drone backpack and hiking daypack. The functionality is wonderful and durability is built to last.

I like this product, but it does have some drawbac

Good points
Of all the Peak Design camera bags, this is the easiest to carry and doesn't put any strain on the body.
It's lightweight and has plenty of room for adjusting the straps, so you can carry heavy camera equipment with confidence.

Points that need improvement
Difficulty in accessing the inside. In particular, the top part requires removing two strings and undoing the roll, so it can't be said to be easy to access.

Most comfortable pack I have had. Perfect day pack for photography or a hike. Nice features. Great side pockets for water bottles/tripod. Rugged outside material. Light weight.

Not perfect at all

I love the material and the concept of this backpack, but there are a lot of downsides:
- The backpack is not stable, you can't put it upright because it will fall.
- It has a few pockets
- There is no AirTag pocket.
- There is no pocket for the hip belt (like in 40l).

If not that what I have said above, i would recommend it to my friends.
