I've been stumbling along dozens of review but nothing as having this masterpiece on your hands! I even saw some criticism and honestly I don't know what these guys smoke! :D No need to speak about the features , the material and the space you will notice instantaneously that you paid for the top! Looking forward to receive the accessories and use the Backpack for my trip to Mexico! This is like when you buy a Mac in the beginning it hurts because of the price but then you forgot about it because you just bought something that will stand for years and it's really amazing even if is just a backpack ! The Backpack! Just a little remark: I would say that just the straps would have deserved to be a little bit more padded and soft. Great Job PD, Congrats!
I've had the Travel Backpack for close to one month now and it's hands down the most organised large volume backpack I've owned thus far. It takes awhile to get into the habit of knowing which pocket stores what but once you go past that, it'll be a joy to carry.
One thing I hope can improve in future iterations would be the back support. It'll also be a bonus if the sternum strap had a magnetic closure.
Travelled internationally for 18 days and the Travel Backpack performed exceptionally. Had too much weight in the checked bag and to avoid the excessive weight charge, I opted to remove the extra weight from the roller bag and add it to the TBP, and check it also. Had no issues when I retrieved it. On the return trip it was loaded with a stuffed med. and sm. packing cube and a load 5L Sling, a rain jacket, some books an iPad, and a portable speaker. It was expanded on the return trip and still had no issues carrying it on the plane. Stood in the CBP checkpoint for. 2 hrs with no issue accept for standing in line for 2 hours. Bag performed very well as did the packing cubes. Great performance and quality. Medium Pcube had 4 pairs of jeans & 4 long sleeve Henley's as a reference. Heavy duty stuff. 5LSling - Mōvi, iPad, Moment wide angle, maker charger, Extra iPhone case, cables and small misc.
I been using the Travel Backpak and Camera Cubes for about 4 weeks now. I have a variety of cubes and backpacks, the Peak Design system is far and above the my favorite, best designed and most highly crafted of anything I've seen on the market. The multi-layer dividers make it the perfect system for mirrorless too - giving you the ability to stack small prime lenses in the case without sacrificing valuable space. The Medium / Small cube combo fits perfectly within the pack leaving just a bit of room at the top for a smaller item like sunglasses.
PRO TIP: I keep a second lens, my 100mm filter kit, remote triggers, batteries and cards, in the small cube. Adding an anchor link to each end, I can attach my Slide Lite and have all of that gear at my disposal once I'm on location.
This is probably my best friend from now on! It have the perfect size and construction. I'm very happy with the product so far. The only thing I would consider is to change the zippers to YKK. But the zoom zippers seems to be ok too! Thank you, guys!
Had this backpack for over two months now and it has definitely become my favorite! Perfect for travel and the padded straps make it super comfy to carry around your camera gear. Highly recommend it!
I've previously own the Peak Design 20L everyday bag and try to use it for a camera bag and a everyday bag, but it was too small and cramp for all the stuff I have in the bag. When the Travel line announce on kickstarter, I ordered it immediately. This bag is the best bag I've ever use and own, the adjustable size of the bag is super handy and the cubes accessories that compatible with the bag are just amazing.
I've just finished my first trip with this one, couldn't have gone better. Managed to pack everything I needed for a two-week trip. I took this backpack everywhere, super comfortable and incredibly durable... to give you an idea, this backpack protected my partner's back... we fell off a motorcycle with it, not a single scratch, just a bit of dirt we've cleaned off (goes without saying... don't try it).
Pros: - Practical - Comfortable - Durable - Perfectly fits carry-on size, airline failed to find a reason to charge me for it, and they tried hard. - Works fantastically well with packing cubes and tech-pouch
Cons: - A bit heavier than I'd like - (Not really a con) too big to be used as an everyday backpack
