I haven't' used it yet. Leaving in a few weeks for two weeks diving in Grenada. Big luggage for gear. Pack for clothes and other non essentials.

Almost perfect for me

I’ve used this bag for over a year now on multiple shoots; while it is used with the large camera cube inside, this review will be on the travel bag itself.
Exterior:
The attachment loops are a nice touch, but the removable straps worked themselves loose way too fast.
The attachment loops are a nice touch, but the removable straps worked themselves loose way too fast.
The backpack straps need a bit more cushion, but I assume a small sacrifice was made to ensure they would tuck away neatly.
I’m not a fan of the chest strap or waist strap. While the chest strap is completely removable, the waist strap tucks away into the same spot as the shoulder straps, and often becomes a minor nuisance when stowing or removing the shoulder straps.
Placement of the top grab handle seems off to me; when you hold the bag from said handle, it hangs at an angle since the handle isn’t on the bag’s centerline (when viewed from the side).
Interior:
My main complaint about the interior is that the compression snaps do not stay secured at all. Even if the bag is completely empty, the snaps’ seperation is inevitable (surely there’s a joke in there about Thanos somewhere).

The side access zipper pulls also have a tendency to shimmy themselves loose from the security tabs that are supposed to keep them in place.
Overall, I enjoy using this bag. The vast majority of my camera gear is packed away in here, and it has enough space & features to keep my stuff organized & accessible. While the aforementioned cons are minor gripes, if they were to be remedied in the next iteration of this bag, I’d likely sell mine just to help fund the purchase of the new version.
I would recommend this to a friend!

The highest quality non-electronic object I've ever known! I just used this backpack on my first trip and there is SO MUCH SPACE! Everything is so well thought out on this bag and it makes me feel so great to support such wonderful engineering. Well worth the money.

As always PD outdone themselves with this bag and all the travel line. It’s very comfortable to carry even with heavy loads, the zippers are buttery smooth, thoughtful features and design all the way around.
There are some things I would’ve liked though: first and foremost 4 external carry straps instead of two, magnetic clasps on the side pockets just like the everyday backpack, and maybe a magnetic closure for the laptop pocket, I think I know why the went with Velcro but for the price of the bag seems to me like a cheap solution.

All in all it’s a really nice and thoughtful bag designed to withstand years of abuse, I’m very happy with my purchase.

I love everything about this bag but the waist belt - I wish that were a standard clip. The bag is sturdy, well designed, and functional. I have no problem with the sternum strap or zippers. The waist belt closes with a hook though, which I find annoying when I put on and take off the pack. If that were changed to a plastic clip like most every other pack then I'd give this bag five stars.
