Great bag built for adventures

I've had this bag now for about 18 months and it's been brilliant. I used it to store my camera and gear in at home and for day trips, but it really comes into its own for photography trips abroad. Using the packing cubes you can optimise the space inside, I typically take a mirrorless body, a telephoto lens, a wide angle lens, filters, batteries, rain covers, memory cards and cleaning kit in a camera packing cube, and then a change of clothes in one of the other peak design clothing packing cubes. Perfect for hand luggage, this bag has been on African Safari, through the Australian Tropical Forests, and through the Amazon including camping out, so it's been put through its paces. It kept my gear accessible, safe, and dry (with the additional rain cover). It's got loads of handy pockets and features and has plenty of room. The build quality is excellent.
Only negatives are that it's not the most comfortable bag to wear for a long time when it's heavy, it digs into shoulders and small of the back on me. The only other negative would be that for the price I would hope the rain cover was included.
I've had this bag for several years and used for both traveling, day trips, around town things like picnics. It's such a versatile pack. The material is rugged and keeps dirt and water out of it. It compresses down to save space when I don't need it packed to the gills, but when I need to carry say a bunch of jackets for my family, my sling, water bottles, hats, it can hold all of it, and still have extra room. The external carry straps are great for when I have larger puffy jackets that won't fit inside. The slide out waist straps are something I've not seen on any other pack either. Most other packs they detach off or roll up inside, but I love how fast I can stow them when not needed.
Highly recommend this bag. After researching loads of other travel backpacks, this one checked all my boxes. The quality is top notch. At first I thought the price was steep but you pay for what you get. I plan to write another review after our Italy trip for 2 weeks. Stay tuned..

After much online research and several "in-home trials" the 45L was the clear winner. The overall design is incredibly thoughtful and suited to real-world use. It is just the right blend of functionality, size, style, quality, and adaptability. I also appreciated that PD offers the full suite of accessories and support products to complete the perfect one bag system. Their online videos are incredibly helpful and really helped me understand and utilize all of the features of the bag.
I bought this product sometime back and took it for my solo trip to Uganda, February of this year. It is such a robust sturdy bag, sits well on the shoulders, comfortable across the back and a good fit for my camera and daily use
I bought this backpack for my daughters’ boyfriend who loves to travel. He absolutely loves it! It has many different compartments to store everything from clothing to laptops.
