Ok, with a few form-over-function design decisions

Bought this backpack to carry equipment to work each day, so I got some pretty immediate heavy mileage out of it. I ended up giving it to someone else and buying a different backpack. Overall, the whole pack seems to be designed to look pretty and depend heavily on the Peak Design cube system. Pros and cons:
PROS:
- VERY spacious for its size; can hold a ton of gear.
- Looks super cool. I can see why Peak Design is a photographer status symbol.
- High grade materials with very high build quality. Feels solid.
- Versatile storage - relates to one of my CONS below however

CONS:
- Strap design is not comfy. Dug into my shoulders after several hours. Ok for short trips, but hurts after a long day.
- no load lifter straps. For a travel backpack this should be a no brainer; similar sized backpacks have these as standard.
- overly dependent on the Peak cube system. Lots of space in the central compartment, but out of the box organization is very limited. This might be a PRO for some people.
- The size-down snaps are weirdly thought out and compress the backpack into an odd shape.

This would be a much better backpack if a few key concessions were made around how pretty it looks and put more into function. It's OK, might work well for you under very specific uses and if the strap design fits you better than it did me.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

I have used this bag for quite some time. It is very useful and versatile to customise my bag for different needs. Reduce to 30L when I travel light or 45L with I gone for a short getaway trip.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Use this back for a 4-day trip in NYC. It carries so much more than I expected. The compartment design makes it very easy to take stuff out and keep the bag well organized. Many interesting features on this bag and you will find one of them useful from time to time.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Love the 45L

We stuffed our bags with 9 days of clothes including a formal dress and traveled to 4 countries with no problem. We were able to use the bag as a carry on for all airlines which reduced our stress dramatically for fears of lost luggage when heading to my daughter’s wedding.
Well designed, durable and evenly balanced when you carry it.
I would recommend this to a friend!

The bag is huge. love the ability to expand/contract as needed. A couple of inconvenient handles are located near the bottle holders.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Took on a trip to Europe city hopping. Worked perfectly. I am a small person but manages to configure to fit my frame. Only feedback for the team is that I almost lost the chest strap a couple of times.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Versatile and Functional maybe even as an everyday

I bought the bag after reading reviews and watching videos and realized that it would be a purchase that i would try on my upcoming trip and if i didnt like it i would return it. well that went a lot better than expected. I had some packing cubes and that helps a load in keeping organized but what was really key were all the extra compartments. Being able to take out the laptop easily and still access the bag via the side panels made for getting some needed items out in a quick hurry.
I would recommend this to a friend!
