The bag of my dreams

It’s the bag I wished every other backpack I ever owned had been. First tour I brought it on my bandmate bought themself one the next day, and we gushed our love for it daily.
I love Peak Design and I love this travel camera pack. I love the strap on the back of the bag for slipping it on top of my luggage. It is light and I have even managed to figure out how to carry my Sony 600mm in this pack! There is one feature of the pack that could easily be improved and make it much more useful. The hip strap and buckle design is flawed. It is not strong, difficult to slip on connector innto the other strap/buckle, and does not support weight in the pack on anything over a short walk. Use a wider strap and, especially please, a buckle that is a legit buckle, and that can be tightened to carry the weight of the pack on the hips.
it's very well made, so far I traveled with this bag over Spain,Egypt,France,England,Italy. No problem at all. The only weakness is maybe the weight, if it was slightly ligher, was perfect!
We got this travel backpack for my son who was traveling to Europe for a month and a half. This backpack fit all the clothes he needed and was very easy to pack using packing cubes. It’s very roomy and allowed him to take his laptop as well. The magnetic system to “hide” the straps is amazing. While we liked the black one more than the sage, the sage is easier to spot años y other backpacks. It’s a bit on the heavy side but it would be very hard to pack for close to 2 months without some weight.
We have been traveling Europe for a few months. I had been using traditional, rolling luggage, but I recently changed to the Travel Backpack. I was worried that I would not be able to fit all of my belongings into the pack, but with the use of the packing cubes (and a more minimalist approach), I was able to get everything I needed into the pack. Everything seems to be well made and I am looking forward to using it for years to come.
When I received my backpack I was immediately impressed with how well it is made. the material and zips are very sturdy. Lots of compartments give lots of possibilities for packing and accessing your content. Love the look of this backpack. Also like the way you can make it a 35l backpack or extend it to a 45l backpack.Overall it is really well thought through. Thinking of every aspect of traveling. All the accessories that can be added to this are a great feature as well. Making travelling even easier.
The SO and I took ours on their maiden voyage to Peru for a 5-day hike to Machu Picchu. These were our carry-on luggage, we didn't check any bags, so naturally they were 100% full. I have to say I was impressed when I received the backpack, but even more-so after putting it in action. The pack holds an astonishing amount of luggage/gear while still fitting comfortably in a 737's overhead compartment. Super-easy to remove laptops/tablets for airport security, and the side access openings are really handy. Even when we came back with souvenirs, we just pulled out the straps and tied extra gear to the outside. Wearing it is comfortable enough, not as good as a proper hiking/outdoor backpack but it gets the job done, and the ability to tuck the shoulder and waist straps in make stowing it in a plane or train that much easier. Can't wait to take these on more adventures in the future!
