Best bag I've ever owned

This bag is everything i hoped it would be and more. I Love that i can change how i organize it depending on my specific need. I packed for a 10 day trip in just this bag, and am constantly amazed at how much it fits. I was concerned that it would be too big for every day carry... and while it looks huge it isn't too heavy for me to carry on a daily basis. I love in NYC and often need to lack a lot of stuff to get me through a day here. Basically I'm obsessed with this bag.
I bought the 45L and all the accessories (except the large camera cube). This backpack is just about perfect. Every feature is brilliant and works great. The size is awesome. The accessories work great in the bag. The zippers are all delightful. The bag is a joy to use. At full size, at normal size, or at compressed size. I highly recommend this. But a few things: I don't think they should make a black color. It looks awesome but it attracts dirt like you wouldn't believe and I think the waterproof coatings make it hard to clean. So I figured green was a better color to hide minor spots and such. I've bought two of the green colors and both had a quality issue (the main flap wasn't opening right). I'm trying to sort this out with customer service. No luck yet. But hopefully they will send me a green one as awesome as my black one.
I'be used the travel backpack in all three different configurations for different occasions.
I've used it as a “everyday backpack” for my laptop and exercise equipments, on photo walks and hikes in normal mode and as a gear carrier in extended mode with stuff attached with straps on extended mode. The packing tools make it super easy and fast to swap out gear for the different occasions. The straps and the waist band is super comfy even on heavy configurations.
The quality, materials, features and super looks make it the perfect all round travel bag that's also super comfy.
Great laptop compartment inside but would love it if Peak design could make a seperate laptop/tablet case that could be inserted and taken out for check ins and on the plane, in cafe scenarios etc.
The customer support is on point too. Looking forward to what this team release in the future. Brilliant!
I got this bag in December and immediately used it for a 2 week trip over the holidays. I 100% love this bag and am glad I got it. It has amazing features that make it super nice for traveling (watch the video!).
I love it so much I now use it as my everyday bag. I'll have my laptop, charger, accessories, gym clothes, gym shoes, dopp kit, water bottle, lunch, and snacks all packed away and easy to access.
I don't have any issues with the straps the other reviews have mentioned.
Before I go on, I absolutely love this bag, but I'd probably love it more if I hadn't gotten use to the quality of my everyday back pack.
I got my 45l for Christmas and immediately used it for a 5 day trip and it worked great. It it's very versatile and can carry more than you think with all the packing tools!
I write this review because the quality and attention to detail is not here like it was on your earlier products. The quality of the 45l doesn't compare to the quality of my 20l that I got last Christmas. The shoulder straps aren't as comfortable, the outer layer feels thin and like it could tear easy, and the zippers aren't as nice.
I love my 45l but it doesn't feel like the bag I was expecting it to be.. :(
Absolutely love it. The zippers glide with ease. Tons of space. The dividers make it easy to keep things organized. I moved everything into the backpack I wanted to and still have pockets and space free. Can't recommend it enough, even for just a laptop/on-the-go bag.
