Amazing Bag
on October 14, 2019
Posted by: Caleb
Took this bag on a week trip to San Francisco and loved it. Easily fit a week's worth of clothes and also a few other clothes that I bought while in SF. Have the tech pouch but didn't take it with me cuz I didn't have much tech stuff with me. Just took the shoe bag to stuff dirty laundry in. Getting through TSA was a breeze and the bag easily fit in the overhead on United. It felt comfy to wear on my back and made traveling alot easier being hands free. Would definitely recommend this bag

Superb bag but..

Thanks peak design for this superb travel bag that almost solve my hectic ways of searching perfect travel bag for fitting almost my gear and use it as a daily carry too. But, 1 star is deducted due to the comfort of the strap which i wish it could be a lil bit comfy (more cushion) if the bag is fully loaded. All in all, it is ok .. keep designing more stuff! you guys rocks!

Great for travel on smaller CRJ planes
on October 7, 2019
Posted by: Anonymous
I bought the 45L travel backpack to replace my previous travel backpack. I live in an area where my local airport flies only small CRJ jets that must first go to a hub airport where larger planes fly from. So my carryon backpack must meet its ridged dimension restrictions. Gladly the 45L backpack meets them. I have the medium camera cube which houses all of my camera equipment and lenses (Cann 5D4, 24-70 f/2.8, 16-35 f/4, 70-200 f/4, plus many accessories). The upper space of the backpack easily houses my think tank hive for all of my Lee filter system filters and my other screw on filters as well as my kit for all of my chargers for camera batteries and laptop, phone etc chargers. I love the tuck in option for straps which makes it easier to stretch especially on the small CRJ plane. Overall it is a much better looking and functioning backpack for my travel camera needs!

Great with a few exceptions

I purchased the 45L travel backpack, medium packing cube, tech pouch and rain cover for frequent business travel. I have tried many things from messenger and spinner suitcase, to one bag travel and prefer the later immensely. That being said it is not without a few flaws that bother me each trip. I will 100% agree with all other reviews on YouTube, and here that it is a wonderful bag, well designed and constructed with quality materials. I love the storable straps, the lashing straps and rain cover. I has enough organization to be helpful but not overwhelming. But...
• When using the storable straps, it would be nice to be able to remove the waist belt straps. I never use them and they make stowing the shoulder straps a pain.
• The straps are not comfortable at all. Where it around downtown or in the airport all day and you'll feel it very early on. If I could add my FarPoint 40 straps it would be perfect.
• The pack is much heavier than other travel backpacks, noticeably heavier.
• Top strap is hard to grab since it's on the edge of the top. Should be centered.
• The straps are not comfortable at all. Where it around downtown or in the airport all day and you'll feel it very early on. If I could add my FarPoint 40 straps it would be perfect.

• Top strap is hard to grab since it's on the edge of the top. Should be centered.
In conclusion, I think the pack is great and really do like it. I just wanted to add a few real world points that are true for me. If i could get the above addressed, and have the comfort of the Farpoint 40 straps this would be the perfect pack hands down. When I travel for none work, or none flying I always grab the Farpoint 40 as it is way more comfortable to pack around all day.

Excellent—love this bag!

Really happy I bought this bag. I have used it so far for about 4 short trips by air, ferry, train, bus and car and it has served my very well. It fits so much stuff while remaining compact and upright and the straps stow away really easily. The shoulder straps and hip straps make carrying it very comfortable. My one tiny complaint is that I find it hard to reach the bottle/umbrella holders on the sides when I have it on my back, perhaps because the bag is designed for people somewhat taller than me (I'm 5'5”). The bag also looks really sleek and stylish and I like how the straps etc are so discreet.

Top-Notch Travel Bag

I can't say enough good things about this bag. The design, quality and attention to details are superb. I fly frequently so I bought this to carry a my 5dMkIV, several lenses, 15" MB Pro and other travel accessories. I have a Peak Designs medium camera insert for the photo gear. The insert is well designed and has no problem holding the 5dMkIV with RRS L-plate and EF24-70 f2.8 attached. Integration of the insert is excellent and I really like that it can be removed quickly to allow general use of the bag. The loaded bag carries very well and I have no concerns about protection of the contents. The materials seem durable, and I have zero concerns about construction. The price for a bag of this quality and design is reasonable in my opinion. I am a Soldier by profession, I'm into photography as a long time amateur and hobbyist. I've tried a lot of bags and systems for photo gear; from dedicated F-stop gear kits, to pieced together inserts and bags. This kit from Peak designs is definitely my favorite to date for both daily short range travel and long distance prolonged global travel.
Pros:
The details of the design are incredible

Cons:
The outer material collects dirt and dust, but it cleans easily
The snaps used to make the back more compact comes unsnapped easily; not really a flaw, just something to know

Overall, I recommend this bag wholeheartedly. I'd buy it again.

Everything I expected and more

I got the travel backpack for a trip to Bali. I do not want to say much about the usage of the backpack, other reviewers have already mentioned that it is great and I agree with those comments. What happened is that I flew with a chinese airline with a layover in china. I have checked the backpack in, when arrived at china for layover I saw alot of people had issues with their checked in luggage. Some suitcases were broken, which were being replaced by the airline, other people who had checked in their backpacks had their straps broken, so I got a little nervous by the way the luggage was being handled by this airline and airport. I was going to get my bag back at my final destination, and the whole time I had thought that something could happen to my bag as well. When arrived at final destination I did notice that my bag has been handled pretty roughly, it was a brand new backpack, but it had gotten pretty dirty. But altough it has been handled roughly like other peoples bag, there was no real damage to it. It went through the same rough treatment on the way back, but the durability of the backpack is amazing. Although the airline and chinese airport did their best to damage my backpack they have not succeeded because of the great job of people at Peak Design, thank you for providing me with this great backpack.

A great buy on the fly

Was buying a camera and realize a good camera bag was also needed. Finally got the 30L Peak Design travel bag and loved the quality and features from first sight. Kept as carry on for trip to Madagascar and day pack for hikes during the trip. Got the camera clip which is a truly great accessory. Super handy and comfy! Make sure to remove the sternum strap when you not use it! It may fall off. Overall highly recommended backpack with lots of great features.
