best travel/home backpack ever!

I love my PD travel backpack. I got the sage color thinking of all the dust and dirt that won't be as visible and to keep the bag cooler when I'm in hotter environment. It is very comfortable and so durable. I've felt very comfortable to put my bag down wherever so I can focus on my shooting. It is easy to clean as well! Having the ability to convert the bag into whatever your excursion requires makes this the perfect bag for me. I love the expandability as well. Many people have also commented that it's a very nice looking bag. The company speaks for itself with their products. It's like walking with an advertisement due to just passing inquiries. Highly recommend this bag and the packing cubes!
My last Backback! But for sure not my last Peak Design gear!

Absolutely satisfied with this fantastic Backpack and also the Peak Design Team! This will be my last Backpack in my life, but not the last Peak Design gear!
I travel for work (professional contractor) roughly 3 weeks out of the month and depend on great travel gear. I need something that can hold up to 5+ days of clothes, some camera gear (drone & action cameras), and ready for different weather climates. I originally backed another Kickstarter campaign while my colleague went with Peak. Long story short, I made a mistake. I've since corrected the mistake by purchasing the 45l backpack, 10l sling, compression bags, camera bag, and shoe pouch. Everything is built perfectly to accommodate all of the accessories. My current set-up provides me everything I need while jumping from plane to plane, taxi to taxi, hotel to hotel. In the 45l there are a ton of pouches for whatever you need and they do not impede the main portion of the bag. I love the metal/aluminum frame too, keeps a half filled bag from appearing slouchy on your back. What's also great about the 45l is that you can slim it down which is perfect when I am hitting a projects after checking out of a hotel and don't want the hassle of a large bag (assuming I do not need the extra space). I watch many videos before committing to Peak and boy have my expectation been met, actually exceeded. I am looking at the wash and tech pouch next but gotta save some $$ first haha.
Loving my new 45L travel backpack. It's durable and extremely practical, as the amount of storage compartments and expansion options are countless. I have place for everything from small items, to phone and laptop chargers, to a dedicated iPad and laptop sleeve, to expansion options to give the bag more volume when I'm going on a little bit longer of a trip than a weekend trip. I use this bad almost every weekend and keep it close by so I can grab it and go! It's even better when you have packing cubes for organization, the shoe pouch, and bag for your toiletries, all which fit perfectly inside.
I've used and abused this pack for almost year now, for everyday photography, dayhikes, camping, international travel and more. In the middle of summer, autumn showers or proper Canadian winters it has kept my gear safe. I'm out and about 2-3 days every week and don't treat this bag with care, often throwing it on the ground (any ground) and shuffling it along with my feet to get it out of the way of people passing by. It just holds up, despite how shitty I treat it. I'm impressed how well it's held up with the massive weight I pack quite often; double fullframe mirrorless systems with 4-5 heavy glass lenses (70-200 f/2.8, 100-400, ...), double or tripple tripods, tripple-axis timelapse gear and tracks. If your back can handle the load and you can fit it, this bag can carry the weight. For all the straps, pockets, and gimmicks check the Peak Design videos. Depending on personal preference you may find some of them useful, but I doubt you'll miss something crucial. My only gripe is missing top-access to the main compartment for easy access to my camera, but that's looking for flaws and by no means take away from a solid design and build. Tried and trusted.
This company is definitely one of my top 3. Their attention to detail blows my mind. This backpack is all I could want and more. Cough up the money, you won't regret.
