One issue with having photography as a habit is I NEED more and more accessories to not only make me a better photographer, but to make me a better person. Although I really liked my previous bag, it was too small for all of my gear. Peak Design's Travel Backpack is beautiful, has a quality feel, and extremely flexible. I really appreciate the cube system, it makes packing my bag easy and efficient. I appreciate that it can be compressed or expanded. I like the attention to all of the details, like the ability to fold away the shoulder straps, hidden pockets, linking and hiding zipper pulls. I appreciate that now when I do my short weekend trips one bag will carry all of my gear, tech and clothes.
Purchased to upgrade my Solgaard Lifepack that I love, but needed the additional space the 45L excels at. The expandibility comes in handy and sooo many pockets/compartments for everything and then some. Purchased several packing cubes and the rain fly, so I'm ready for any trip/weather. Enjoy how the shoulder straps stay hidden, but are easily accessible on the fly when my hands are full...used them today when returning home from a Xmas trip.
Perfect backpack for one-bag trips (which is the reason I mainly bought it). Solid construction and quality materials. It gives you confidence that your things are protected.
The only real downside is comfort. If it's full and you have it on your back and you walk a couple of kilometers or just wear it for an hour or more, it starts to get really uncomfortable.
ok look, this is my first travel backpack and it honestly rocks. Great organization, so many cool features that I will probably never use, but this bag makes me feel like I can take on any multiday trip somewhere. The laptop flag is spacious, but a little flimsy weird at times. Other than that, this is a solid bag that I will use. If you are looking for something that is a 1-2 day type of bag, I would recommend the duffle.
