Fantastic bag

Not managed to take it on a trip for obvious reasons lately but this is a very well made bag, it's a great size and with a cube inside it's a great camera bag
This bag is very comfortable and can be used not only as camera bag, but your every trevel bag. With all the inserts you can module, there are so many possibility. Best bag that I ever owned. Highly recomended.
It's rare that I ever give out 5-star reviews, and this case is no different. Perfection only exists in myths; however, this pack is damm-near close. I carried this pack with me from Arizona, to Wisconsin, Illinois, Michigan, Indiana, North Carolina, Florida, and the Florida Keys (Fall, 2019). My trip lasted 6 weeks. It performed outstanding. The only critique I have is that smaller flap that opens towards the outside (not the large, clamshell zipper) gets a bit awkward when you open it. In other words, it would be nice if the zippers went all the way down. Instead, there's about an inch or two leftover towards the bottom, and it makes opening the bag here a bit difficult. Other than that, this bag is solid. I highly recommend it and can't wait to take another trip with it.
Best overall travel bag to date - Great EDC bag as well

This is the best overall bag I've used. (Osprey Farpoint, Goruck GR1, TAD Lightspeed, and various TNF/Patagonia packs in comparison)
Extremely well thought out, useful size/expansion, and great materials throughout. Access and zippers are fantastic. The magnetic flaps and strap stowage are very convenient (especially for airplane travel).
My only nitpick is the shoulder straps could use more padding. I ASSume this thinner padding was done for easier strap stowage so I can live with it. For heavy packing, I switch over to my GoRuck GR1.
It's so close to perfect and you can read a thousand reviews on why it's so good so I'm just going to go over things that I hope they improve on.
1) The laptop compartment has that annoying velcro strap which things will always get stuck to when pulling things in and out of the bag. I don't know why they didn't use magnets here.
2) The backpack straps flop around when you not using them. You can tuck them away I just want it sit still when I'm carrying the bag or only using one strap instead of having to tuck them away.
3) The laptop pocket is safe but it doesn't give the feeling of safety that Ogio RSS backpack does when you drop your laptop in it. This is picky but I rather lose everything else I have instead of my laptop.
Other stuff are things like the side pockets are very tall but still would be nice to have the magnetic closure. The straps on top could use a little more padding as if you are carrying the backpack that way it's not comfortable.
Once again these guys/gals have thought things though a lot and this is the best backpack out there so this is just being picky. So close to perfect though. So...close!
P.S. Truly HATE that velcro strap though...why was that approved? Why?! Peack design of anything shouldn't include velcro. Ever!
I love this backpack. The straps perfectly fit my frame (5'4”) and I love the expandability. The snaps are difficult at first but they get easier with use. The coloring is beautiful and the quality is top notch. I can't wait for my next trip.
Great backpack for using as a carryon and getting to and from out boat as a weekend bag! Love all the features, definitely can Peak Design spent some research hours as this bag has every feature and more. Would definitely recommend this bad to anyone that travels!
I love the number of ways I can get into this bag. You can use the internal divider or fold it down for maximum capacity. Straps feel comfortable and have a unique way to hide away. I've been wearing it around the house preparing for the day when we can all travel again.
