Purchased through KS campaign and took the pack on a recent trip. Discovered my travels and this bag were not aligned. Appreciated the Eclipse colorway and the great build quality of the bag. So many features designed into the bag, many of them not a great fit for my travel. Will be transitioning to another PD product and getting the bag in the hands of a person that can fully utilized this great bag!
I bought this 45L backpack for my 3 weeks south america trip including 6 days hike in Patagonia and Peru inca trail. Together with camera clip and cube it strike good balance between comfortable large size hiking backpack + basic photography needs. Overall design looks great, durable, and packaging cube help organize in easy way.
Used this for about four months now. It’s lightweight and has great features. Tough water resistant exterior and room either side for accessories or drinks bottles. Laptop sleeve fits my 13 inch MacBook Air. Would accommodate larger laptops. Use when cycling to and from work. And for travel. Did me well on a recent trip to Japan. Was great knowing all my belongings and tech were safe on my back. Very comfortable. Love it.
have had classic PD photo backpack for years and love- was looking for a lighter adventure bag- hikes, trail runs, biking that would cover all bases and clear out my closet full of “sort a good” bags… done. Thx.
This is my fourth Peak Design bag and it lives up to high quality and thought out design I've come to expect. I can see this being used for everything from family picnics to weekend trips or long hikes.
I use this bag as an everyday bag. It is lighter and a better carry than the everyday backpack zip I used previously. For the use I make of it, i.c. laptop-and-book-transport, I actually prefer the greater protection the everyday backpack offers and the better accessibility and "loadability". I am not too great a fan of the location of the zip on the outdoor backpack (or on the travel backpack, for that matter). They all are terrifically made, high quality and well thought through bags.
