Best travel bag, but weight heavy

This one bag is all you need for a 3-4 day trip. It's incredibly durable but unfortunately, it's also quite heavy.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

My home for the past 5 years

I am a 35 years old nomad, and I've been a nomad since my childhood (thank you, mom and dad!). So you can imagine that I’ve gone through my fair share of travel gear. But five years ago, I made the switch to this backpack, and let me tell you: it changed the game!! This isn’t just a bag; it’s my life in carry-on form.
We’re talking everything: clothes, two laptops, cameras, wires, other electronics, toiletries, you name it... I even managed to attach a tripod and camping tent on the front face for a while. (Who even designs something that versatile? Genius!!!)
I am not the most careful person with my belongings, so backpack has seen it all. I’ve flown on airlines across every continent, and not once did it get issues using it as a carry-on. Okay, there was that one tiny plane where it wouldn’t fit in the overhead bin. But I found an easy solution: I pulled out my laptops, slid this backpack under the seat, and we were good to go. (Sure, the flight was cramped, but blame the plane, not the backpack 😂)
It’s not just about the space, though. This bag is comfy to carry for hours, perfectly balanced, with multiple carrying options and a sternum strap that’s somehow both lightweight and super durable. And yes, it’s heavier than my previous bags. But I can't complain, because it’s built to last. Five years of travel (and trust me, my trips are not gentle), and it still looks like I just bought it. No scratches, no tears, not much wear (you can see it in the pic, although the backpack was super dirty on one of those pics lol).
And I loooove the water resistance. This thing has survived downpours that left me drenched while my gear stayed dry. Mind you, I have my stuff inside plastic bags inside my backpack, just in case. But the last few times, nothing inside got wet anyway. I haven’t tested it recently, and I know that the water resistance may decrease over the years... but from my past experiences, it’s never let me down. (I’ll update this review if that ever changes)
If you’re on the fence because of the price, but you are looking for something to use for years, let me save you some time: just get it. After five years, I can’t imagine using another backpack. It’s my ultimate travel companion, and if ever it breaks, I would buy another one for sure.
I hope this helps someone!!!
I would recommend this to a friend!

Disappointed quality

I bought this bag a couple of months ago and am very disappointed with the quality. The edges of the bag are peeling, and the stitching has come undone as well. I’ve owned several Peak Design products and had no issues with them. Peak Design should consider reviewing the materials used for their backpacks, especially the zipper.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

great bag with horrible comfort
on October 31, 2024
Posted by: xxx
one year with it and i can't use it anymore because of that horribly painful straps. If they could just redesign that back part prioritizing comfort (like the tortuga backpack, for example), they could have the perfect bag but right now, at least for my body, it's unusable.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

The best backpack for me !
on October 30, 2024
Posted by: Kenjolio
I bought this backpack because i really like the everyday backpack 20L, I used that for many years and still in perfect conditions, but that one was to small for me so I decided to buy this travel backpack and it’s just perfect for me, I can use it in a lot of situations, of course traveling, but since I like to drive motorcycle and I have to go to university, this backpack allow me to bring everything with me.
It’s durable
Environmental friendly
Easy to access from any pocket
30L and you can expand it to 45 ( not so big and not so small).
there si so much detail in this backpack so I keep looking for new things of this one.
Overall y love it and for me it world perfectly.

Great backpack for traveling

Bought this for a cruise in Croatia and souther Italy. It was perfect for plane as well where I use it to put a small camera cube and a medium packing cube)
I will buy a large camera cube to use it at home. The material is great (I have the sage version), eveything is well designed. (I have over 20 bags and backpack and this one is one of my best.
