This pack is everything you’d expect from peak! High quality, perfectly well thought out design, excellent zippers and pulls, great pocket location. The pack stands up on its own, which is awesome.
The shoulder straps… need some design advancements… but they tick away nicely and for basic travel they are fine. I wouldn’t want to wear this pack all day for a week traveling on a pack packing trip or anything.
I purchased this backpack about 3 weeks ago. Built to last. I strongly suggest if your are interested in this backpack, or you just got one, to watch the videos. “Play along” if you can. There are all sorts of capabilities that I would have missed if I didn’t.
We bought this for a sailing trip but have tried it out in advance and are amazed at how much we can fit in the pack, especially with the compression sacks. It will be a loyal travel companion for years to come.
After a week of use, I am very satisfied with it. Many compartments, variability, high capacity. If you are hesitating on a bag of this size, don't do it anymore... :)
excellently constructed item. 45L mode was excellent for long distance travel with my things and camera gear. 35L mode was perfect for flights and fitting it under the seat. 30L was excellent for on-campus commute as a college student.
The only two downsides are, one it is very heavy. Two, the backpack straps aren't very comfortable.
Very good bag overall. Zippers and outer covering waterproof on all day hikes. Good for 2-5 day trips. Maybe could use another external or small internal pockets behind the wall lined mesh for organizing internally or externally while travelling. The ID pouch is too small for passport or airline ticket, so not useful internationally. Only major complaint is that the shoulder straps are a bit thin, when bag is full and use for 4-5 day trip then it starts to ache on the shoulders fairly quickly. Could do with a couple more millimeters of foam padding, both in depth and width. Otherwise, extremely happy
The perfect travel backpack. After watching and reading countless reviews, and even trying a different product, I finally purchased this backpack, and do not regret it. It is lightweight, well made, and extremely versatile. I have used it on several short trips and I had room to spare. I mainly purchased for an upcoming trip to Norway and cannot wait to update this review with that experience.
