3 Weeks In - Best bag I have ever owned.

I have owned a lot of bags over the years and I can tell already that this one is the best. The quality materials and thought process in design really shine. It feels good to open. Super easy to get used to and to establish a routine for certain daily use devices. I love the medium and small cubes that I purchased along with the bag. I can easily remove them I need more space. I am a DJ, Photographer and product designer. I can fit everything I need and more in this pack.
Durable, feature/function rich, and stylish travel backpack! Although it is a bit heavy and feels a bit stiff on my back, but it must be the trade off for the durability. I enjoy the bag for most of my trips!
This bag (as with many of the other bags) come packed with features which are common to the other backpack and so moving from an everday backpack to this was a breeze of familiarity. Accordingly, my favourite feature would be the back access zip where it really proves to be discrete and hidden from plain sight - a very important feature for travelling, I'd say. Also, the small hidden zips behind the side compartments were a feature I didn't think I'd use but was really good to keep private things stowed away whilst moving about the city. Decided to couple this with a few packing cubes (one large, one small and a shoe bag) and there was more than sufficient space for other things to go into the bag without expanding it to the fullest capacity.
Definitely a one-pack wonder! Used it for a 15-day trip and was pleasantly surprised at the amount of things I could pack in!
Way back when I got a NF Overhaul which was okay for what I needed but I consistently wanted something a little more user/purpose friendly. After a lot of research I settled on Peak Design & I am super glad I did! The sheer versatility of the bag as well as the way that the ecosystem works together (the packing cubes are perfect!) pushes the PD line above and beyond anything else I have found.
Just replaced a Minaal backpack with the Peak 45. The Minaal helped me appreciate organized carry on packing. The Peak bag takes it to the next level. Packed 7 days of multiple outfits a day (in August in Hill Country hear) including 2 pairs of shoes, toiletries, accessories, and everything necessary for 7 days of sweat free, refreshed outfits morning, noon, and night.
When an old, cheap-o travel backpack broke on a trip, I immediately ordered the Peak Design version because, like everything the company makes, I knew it would be high quality and smartly designed. The hideaway shoulder straps and hip belt are genius. The smaller pockets also are nice, though I have not yet used them because I roll down the divider (again, genius) to maximize interior storage for my PD Dopp kit and PD packing cubes (both great). The backpack is great for carry-on luggage so I don’t check any bags, and lets me keep my hands free to help with rolling luggage used by family members. It’s my favorite of my 4 PD bags, and that’s saying something.
I bought this for my boyfriend so that we could go on a backpacking trip together and it's perfect! It fits everything you need and more and has a great laptop sleeve. We both like the sleek look because it looks less touristy than most other travel backpacks. I would recommend this to anyone looking for a great carry-on travel backpack.
I bought this pack to not have to check any baggage on trips, and it is awesome. The spacious design and multiple-entries make this bag fantastic and easy for excursions.
