Extremely happy with the customizability and features of the backpack. Coupled with the premium materials, couldn't have picked a better backpack.

56yo woman goes full-on fangirl for the 25L

Took my 25L backpack out of its plastic for its maiden voyage this morning. Essentially packed it full of gear while asleep and un-caffeinated in the dark.
I’m in love. It has so many thoughtful features (many of which I’ve no doubt yet to discover and is so light and comfortable to carry (Nikon Z 600mm lens, Nikon z8 with 135mm mounted, x100vi, vertical pockets that fit small tech pouches perfectly, and the secure and deep side pockets for water bottle and/or tripod! And both a top opening and the zipped clamshell opening😍).
Lack of waist belt is a deal breaker for me, so being able to get one separately and just clip it in is brilliant. Oh and the built-in capture clip mounts.😁 Just sad the waist belt doesn’t fold back into the back padding like the 45L’s does in a clear nod to a pocket knife, which is a design stroke of genius. And my absolutely favorite feature—a combination of functionality, gee-whizness, and style I feel James Bond could fully get behind.
And the white! Trendy yet not annoyingly so. And speaking of James Bond, If they ever remake The Spy Who Loved Me, complete with the ski chase opening credits, it would be a natural supporting actor. And a lot more subtle, modern, and minimalist than the very dated Roger Moore, carrying a red pack against a yellow spandex unitard, “skiing” in front of a green screen.
Look forward to spending a lot more time getting acquainted. And finally giving away the many backpacks that were bought over the years and found to be lacking.

That’s how you make an outdoor hiking backpack.

The only think I am eager to find out is how it performs when attaching skis on the sides.

Another PD masterpiece
on November 16, 2024
Posted by: Logan
from SLC
Just got this and the quality is stellar in typical PD fashion. It has ample pockets, the roll top is a great idea, and the back zip panel gives a straight shot to your gear. This pack is about to get put through its paces, and based on the materials used and solid feeling construction I have zero doubts it’ll hold up.

Smart system for every outdoor situation
on November 16, 2024

from Melbourne, Australia
Literally, the best bag in my collection, it looks great, is comfortable (5”6 male), and versatile as hell. Have used it every day since it landed. Light weight sling bags and packing cubes just bring it together into a flexible system for me to use as an EDC when I’ve got gym and work. Perfect for me, who works remotely on different sites and travels across big cities and country towns. And then, it adapts when I need to carry more gear than usual as a parent or on a weekend outing on the trail. Best Kickstarter I’ve founded yet!

PD have reached new level of form meets function

I've just received my Kickstarter 25L Eclipse Outdoor Backpack and I couldn't be more happy with it. Peak Design has once again overdelivered on quality and design. The build quality and finish are exceptional. I can't wait to start using it on a daily basis (I cycle to work, and hike on weekends). The design philosophy is different from their Everyday line of backpacks. It isn't made to be accessed from multiple angles, or sides, but it is designed to carry your gear on your back in the most ergonomic and comfortable fashion possible. If you have ever used a top loading backpack before, you'll be gobsmacked by how well this one performs. It is super light and comfortable on first wear. The straps are adjustable and super comfortable. Everything is easily adjustable. The back opening gives you access to all of your content in a similar fashion than the Travel line does. It fits a smedium camera cube, leaving room at the top for a xsmall cube volume equivalent. The use of the top opening (Ultracinch) takes a couple of times to get used to it, but becomes second nature right after. I love it. The side flex pockets are enormous and add extra capacity to your bag. This is the most flexible backpack I have every used. Combined with the extra straps and the ultralight packing cubes, you can custom design your backpack to fit your current needs. I can't wait to use it. Peak Design have reached a new level in form meets function. As usual, make sure to watch their videos, they are full of excellent tips. A++++

Not a great backpack.
on November 16, 2024
Posted by: Nicolas
from Marseille, France
I got the travel backpack yesterday and spend a lot of time wondering how to use it.
The camera cube does not fit properly, there is a lot of waste of space when using it.
Yes, the overall quality of the product is great, but it is a bad backpack.
You won't put a lot of stuff in it and there a leashes everywhere.

The kickstarter campaign was great, the marketing too but the product is not worth it.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Well thought out in every detail!

My Outdoor Backpack 25L came just today and everything feels great. The backpack opens easily - like shown in the Kickstarter videos - with just one hand. With the back flap open you can find all your gear and for the first time I wanted to try Peak Designs packing cubes and camera cube. I have to say - I really love it. Everything is in order and can be arranged in super simple steps. Just fix the camera cube to the bottom of your backpack and you can be sure that your gear is save. All the small details make sense when you use them for the first time and you can‘t buy bags without these details. Materials feel high quality as always.
I‘m a long time user of the first and second generation Everyday Backpack and the new Outdoor Backpack is a light and durable delight - LOVE IT!

Looking forward taking it on a tour!!
Gear I tried out with the backpack - Hip Belt, Capture, Packing Cube (ultralight XS & S, ultralight mesh XS), the original Packing Cube (small) & Camera Cube (XS - perfect for my A7s with big lens). Ways you can combine these depends on what you put in the packing cubes ;)
