Nifty

Used this bag for rock-climbing and casual outdoors trips and it's been great so far. Durable and practical with all its features!
Definitely not meant for the serious outdoors-person but if you fall into that category you already know what you should be buying instead.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Plethora of feature with the ability to pack a ton

I would put it at 4.5 star.
Pros
- This is an eye-catcher, great design, I get commented on often for the bag itself.
- It's also extremely comforting, the shoulder straps are definitely made long distance. If there is weight, there are ways to distribute it using the hip belt or the hook that can distribute weight.
- Can store a ton and has enough pockets for decent distribution. At max loads, it can be huge, but it does not become too bulky.
- I love the attachment hooks. It give it so much more flexibility
Cons
- The handle on the top is way too thin. Everywhere else seems to be made for comfort with thick straps except for the top handle that is way too thin that it starts to hurt when holding it from there with even a little amount of weight.
- No easy camera access. I understand that this is generally design with another camera sling on hand. However, I wish there was at least one side zipper for me to easily access the camera

Overall, really like it, and use it for all short term trips.

nice looking bag, great quality

Really like the bag. Looks very good, straps are the best on any bag I've used. Only issue is that the top opening is a little cumbersome, but there's always the back zip which works a lot easier.

Hyper pratique, super bien conçu, très résistant et beau. Je suis un randonneur expérimenté et je n'ai jamais eu un sac aussi adapté. Été comme hiver !

The Bag I have been waiting for

I have been on the hunt for the perfect bag for years, and while I love my other peak design products, this is finally the one I can use EVERYDAY. It lies as flat as I need it when not carrying everything, but also has the ability to carry everything I need for work when out of the house, and even a little extra for some fun.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Great looking bag but not the usual PD quality

I love the idea and every thing about the concept of this bag, but I’m left somewhat disappointed. I’ve had it a few months now and already it’s starting to look tatty. The shiny finish on the exterior marks easily. The pull string for the front flap is really stiff and very hard to open. I added the extra storage in the outside and the cords just went loose and then it ended up just bouncing around below the bag.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.
