Smart Travel Bag
on June 5, 2023
Posted by: Ando

Overall this bag is incredible - its fits the most of any cabin bag I've tried, is incredibly smart with its design, and they've thought of almost everything. The big thing holding it back for me however is the shoulder straps and waist belt are pretty thin on the padding and don't offer a lot of support - the bag itself weights 2kg then when you add in your clothing, shoes, laptop and camera - carrying the bag for a few hours, queuing at airports, walking to your accommodation etc gets pretty uncomfortable. Once they solve this it's perfect.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Very Functional Bag!

This bag is likely the best bag I have and I have a lot of Peak Design bags! It certainly can fit everything I need for any length of a trip. I can always keep the bag as a carry on and/or on my body. I love the thought and design that went into it, especially the center divider that can be accessed from both sides. I also love the "no slop" look of everything as well. The two negatives I have is that if you are using a camera cube and clip it for side access, it definitely messes up the packing cube setup, unless you plan in advance. Secondly, I'd love a cleaner look for the compressed state rather than the buttons/smushed look. Other than that, I feel like this is one of my last travel bags for a long time.

Got this for my birthday and love it. From the compartments to the ability to change its dimensions to fit my immediate needs regardless of the situation. It is a bit bulky but that’s what I was looking for.

So well designed and so user friendly

Got this bag to use with a carry on for a couple of trips. I used if for a month in Mexico and Belize and again in Europe where we did 7 countries in 19 days this bag was amazing. Once you developed habits about where you put stuff it made travel feel so much less stressful and as I moved through airports and customs people commented on how easy I made it look. My favorite things were how easily you could go from wearing it to taking one shoulder off, rotating it around, pull out what you need and slip it right back on, ready to roll. The stash pockets for the shoulder and waist straps were super useful and I like how tidy it made the bag. It was comfortable to wear, even packed to the brim with snorkel fins, mask and snorkel!
It's well designed and I am so happy with this travel gem!

Best Backpack I’ve Ever Owned!!!

I have not yet begun my travels where this backpack will truly be put to the test, however, I love everything about this bag! I have walked around my apartment with it in anticipation of my upcoming travels and I’ve never been more excited. Worth every penny!
The camera cubes are equally as cool as the bag. I’m having a blast organizing/re-organizing the bag to optimize my setup. Easy enough to use and the design/functionality of all the velcro dividers are awesome!
1 piece of critical feedback…the plain cardboard box it was shipped in was poorly taped and practically destroyed by UPS. The corners were open to the elements, and the top was taped perpendicular 3x as the original tape was not stuck to the box. Fortunately the items were in plastic wrapping otherwise I may have had to return the item as damaged. For how much this backpack costs, it should arrive in a crispy clean box. It doesn’t have to be like opening a new phone or tech accessory, but it should be a similar experience. Packaging adds to the customer experience!
Also I was expecting the rain fly to be included, maybe it was my miss but can’t hurt to make it more clear that it’s not included.

I got this bag for a few trips about 4/5 days long. Also used with the packing cubes, wash pouch, and tech pouch. This bag can hold it all. Extra space depending on how much I was bringing. Had room for spare shoes. Plenty of pockets for all your edc too. Would highly recommend this bag. Got the sage color
