I bought the backpack about a month ago and I see that material (brown/gold) is frail and starts to come a part little by little on shoulder straps. And it's after very gentle use to office and back. I own same one in sage(green) color and it comes built with different materials, and I have no issues with it. I traveled half the planet with that backpack and still look good. If you are looking to purchase this backpack I would suggest to pick other colors/materials. This one in brown definitely not sturdy and won't last long for you.
I bought this to be more lean when I travel for business. The sleek design and strong lines makes it elegant enough so that I don’t appear to be “backpacking” with the client. The well engineered details do not go unprotected when using the pack. Can’t wait to grow my collection of these products.
I bought my Sage 45L travelbag 2020 and used it almost everyday. I have travel with the bag to South Africa, All over Europe and across USA, Miami, Vegas, San Diego. Perfect for every occasion. But I also use it for everyday use, biking to office in all weathers based in Sweden so yes also including Snow. I use it to customer meeting computer bag.
Wow - is possible to be in love with an inanimate object (45L backpack)? I purchased this bag a month ago and have used it on two trips. Flawless, high quality and lives up to all the reviews! The packing cubes, tech and bath pouches, field pouch and 'stretchy' cubes rounded out the whole system, flawlessly. I could not be more happy with the fit, finish and overall quality of this bag and the accessories - well done!! Yes, the price is a bit higher than others, but you get what you pay for.
I admit I was hesitant to spend this kind of money on a backpack, but I plan on doing a lot of travel, and this pack has so many neat features. I was impressed with the quality build, and high-end material this is made from. I am generally hard on my gear, but I can see this lasting me well into retirement (years away). Packing is an art, and this pack opens up options.
Had this a couple of months and just took my first trip. I bought a pair of ski boots and checked them with my luggage. On my return trip I was worried they would get banged up so a light bulb went off. Could I possibly fit two huge size twelve ski boots in my Peak design. Holy crap. They fit like a glove. As if they were designed for the bag. Bonus, I said hmmmm. I wonder if I can use the straps to tie my helmet to the outside. boom works perfectly. And I also put my tech bag, lap top, iPad, kindle, head phones, goggles, etc in the bag and I need even need to expand to 45 liters. I also bought the sling bag which I carry in the bag and use as a day pack, it takes up zero room in the bag. Oh and I am still finding little compartments I didn't know where there. THERE IS NOT OTHER BAG ON THE MARKET AS GOOD AS THIS. Oh, I know I am a bag junky and I own all the others as well.
