Great backpack with cubes

I love this backpack. I also ordered the packing cubes, one small, one large, and they fit absolutely perfect. I haven't figured out toiletries just yet, but I still love it! It fits a shocking amount of clothing!
This backpack would be absolutely perfect if the straps were a bit more padded. As is, if it's fully packed to 40L (no expansion), it's VERY heavy, which I could deal with much better if this had padded straps. I had bruises on my shoulders.
I debated for months about whether to buy the peak design travel backpack. My biggest issue was that maybe it was too big. I finally ordered it, and have now used it a handful of times. What a great backpack! It's open storage compartment makes access and organization easy and versatile. Really happy with this purchase.
This is the most interesting piece of luggage I have ever seen/owned. The pics and videos are great but honestly don't come close to Doing the product justice. It's like an Apple product, feeling it in person is the only way you'll comprehend.
I bought this backpack last week for a planned trip in a month. I ended up using it as an everyday backpack because a carry a lot of things. Does the job pretty well combined with a shoe pouch for my gym shoes and a tech pouch for my chargers and stuff I need but I don't want to see a lot in the bag.
Here is a « critic » and I am nitpicking here: I was really expecting some cool stickers to come with all these great products to put on my water bottle but there were none...first world problems but I ain't gonna lie I was looking forward to getting them lol.
Hands-down the best travel backpack in the market.

I live out of this bag.
I'm a "digital nomad", and travel full-time (by choice -- I work for a company remotely). I carry the Travel Backpack and a Medium Camera Cube with me everywhere I go. It stands up to tough weather (even without using the rain pouch, which has a genius storage and attachment mechanism), and holds everything I need -- passport, ~2 weeks of clothing, toiletries, tech stuff (I carry a lot more than most people, trust me), etc. My camera gear all fits in the medium cube, which I take with me as well -- it gains a strap and is carried on my shoulder while traveling (plane - under the seat), and takes the place of the personal effects in my bag when I arrive at my destination and during my day-to-day.
The ONE thing I'd like to see on the bag is an aluminum frame to help with the weight + counterbalancing. As it is, the TB gets quite heavy if you pack it out (especially with photog gear in it). While the straps are padded well and hold up, the lack of structured support and counterbalancing can weigh on your shoulders and back.
It's a great backpack for minimal travel. I always take it on my trips. It fits my lightweight Aer daily backpack and I'm good to go. Keep in mind that it's quite heavy, so it can be an issue for some people.
