Great Build Quality

I love this backpack, especially having the middle pouches be accessible both from the main compartment as well as the secondary compartment is great. The VelCro-Strap to secure the laptop came in clutch a few times, because I had to lay out equipment on a table quickly and was comfortable with letting the laptop-compartment hang down from the table. I like the color (sage), it just started collecting some white marks which is a bit odd. They aren't very obvious though. A small gripe I have is that the front buckle to secure the bag in front of your chest is not very secure, and I've had it happen on several occasions that I actually lost it when retrieving the bag from a bag compartment. It would be great if you could lock that connecting strap more securely to the bag on one of the two main straps (don't know the specific words). Also, a magnetic solution like on the db Ramverck would be much appreciated in a future version.
Overall very happy with the backpack. I like traveling light and previously used a smaller backpack as my sole luggage on numerous month long trips. This bag delivers in durability, organization, space and convenience... Which it needs to for the price. I'm hoping this will last me at least a decade so it's a worthwhile investment.
This is a feature rich pack with great materials. PD has thought of everything and this cleverly designed pack is great for photography, travel, and even EDC.
Peak Design has created a fantastic bag, loaded with features. I really love the products that they produce and recommend them to everyone. Everything is high quality, well thought out down to every detail and their commitment to the environment is just icing on the cake.
Bought this as a replacement workbag (it stuff) and as a carry-on vacation bag. Extremely happy with the ways you can open and organise everyrhing! Well though-out and good built quality.
I use the Travel Backpack 45 as Weekender and short term travel backpack. It is super durable and comftiy to wear. It survived a robbery attempt, where they tried to cut through it, but without a chance and only a little scratch was left. Additionally the peak design support/warranty is fabulous - never experienced a similar service before. Love it.
Every time I dig into the details of this bag, I discover something new. As a designer, I appreciate how much time, effort, and care went into designing this bag. The details were obsessed over. I bought mini clips for the zippers to make them more difficult to open without adding an additional lock, only to find out PD had already thought of that and built in ways to make that happen. I couldn't figure out how to keep my monopod for tilting or maybe falling out of the water bottle pocket only to learn that PD thought of that too with the added straps and tie points for them. Honestly, I'm just so incredibly impressed by the design of this bag. Kudos!
Details are well thought out. Lots of little pockets for organization. Large backpack but can collapse to a smaller size easily. It is a little heavy but waist strap greatly helps reduce the load on the shoulders.
