This travel back pack is it. I have had previous travel bags and suitcases I used for travel, which is fairly frequent, and I can say that this one has been the most comfortable without sacrificing space. The product is well built and the design is exceptional. I am personally not a photographer but the organization the bag offers is great to access anything at anytime during a trip and the straps make moving from one place to another simple freeing up my hands. Although I have only owned it for a short time, I look forward to future trips with this bag.
Generally a goodish bag, the inside pockets which can be accessed from both sides are really handy. I just love the front panel, the water bottle pockets and the hidden pocketsI find the straps super-comfortable!
The not so good to really terrible things: 1. The sternum strap and hip belt are just totally useless, due to the closure. 2. The extra attachment straps come off too easily, nice pocket for hiding them though, i could live without it to save weight. 3. It is too heavy. 4. The side zippers are hard to access and again, would get rid to save weight 5. The thingies to compress the top don't work, when loaded they come off all the time 6. The grab handles could be longer to be able to easier grab
The travel bag with all the accessories is a very hard system to beat. Everything fits perfectly in the bag and is so well designed. The various features are very convenient and well thought out.
This bag is what I was looking for for my weekend trips. Was able to fit my d500 with 2 lenses, 3-4 days worth of clothes, tech pouch, bathroom pouch, MacBook Pro, iPad and Nintendo switch with little room left on my trip to Disney world for my me and my wife's baby gender reveal. On the way back was able to fit couple onesies we bought for our future daughter! Thanks for the great products!
I haven't actually traveled with the bag yet but it looks and feels great. The matierials are definitely superior quality and I like how the zippers are weather sealed when zipped. I wish it had some smaller organizational pockets for pens and small items etc. I think they want you to buy the tech pouch for that, but there still should be some on the main bag in my opinion.
I got this guy (with all of the packing tools that don't involve camera gear) looking forward to my trip to Arizona earlier this month. Needless to say this trip has come and gone, by far one of the most seamless experiences I have had traveling. What I loved most is that I got to the hotel and took out all the cubes, sinched down the pack to its more compact state and used it throughout the trip to carry jackets for me and my significant other, her gimbal among other toiletries.
What can I say that has not been said already? this bag is THE bag, as more and more companies bring their product to the market Peak brings their entire knowledge and careful consideration about bags to create a damn good product. The bag feels great, from the material to their daily interaction with your needs. It is sleek, the bag feels completely at home wherever you will take it, the confidence in well thought out design feels well thought out and pleasant to have around. The company is another strong point, you will probably buy this bag because you like it but you will end up liking it even more after knowing how peak design acts on their daily operations, from its customer relations to their sustainability oriented approach to everything else surrounding the company. This bag is the real deal for a lot of people out there!
