Perfect size (20) for my mountain hikes
on August 11, 2023
Posted by: GormGorm
from Alaska
I'm tall and big chest and shoulders; I didn't want a full pack, but this 20. I have bear spray in outside pocket, a shaker bottle, inside I have 2 Yeti SS bottles, Nikon D850 with 50mm, Godox flash with diffuser, sundries, extra shirt. All easily accessible and not flopping around when crawling around on mountain side. However, I do have an issue with the sternum strap, in that the soft padded straps of the pack are not long enough for my torso and the lowest setting of the sternum strap hits my neck at times. If the soft strappy part of the strap were only 3 inches longer, it would be a perfect bag for the mountains, not too heavy, snug and nothing hanging off it to snag branches, rocks, etc on mountains. The sternum strap would sit lower on my chest if there were more areas to connect it to. On the plus side, this makes a perfect pillow when resting on the mountain top! I've used this bag on many hikes in the hills and mountains, and the strap length keeps coming back as my main issue. Getting water, camera, sundries is easy do with with the multiple zippers and (more importantly) handles to hold bag in different orientations while standing on a thin high trail.
I would recommend this to a friend!

One of my all time favorites and nearly awesome.

Bought the 15L awhile back and have used it on several trips now. Also an owner of multiple other PD bags.
Size for the plane is great, and bag gives me enough room for my legs since i’m on the taller side. Love the look, love the functionality of the zips (truly, it’s awesome). Great construction and it’s been very sturdy. The dividers are neat but take up a little too much room for me in the 15L, but definitely useful.
My only small complaints are: 1) the straps flap everywhere and could really use the magnets PD uses on other bags, and 2) i would prefer if the bag would slide over my carry on bag vertically instead of horizontally. Hope PD at least does the magnet straps in the future.
Either way, if you don’t have one, buy it.

This Backpack Did Not Disappoint!
on July 28, 2023

I bought the 20 L backpack zip for a trip to Australia after seeing it on a Pack Hacker review on YouTube. It did not disappoint! I LOVE the look of it! (I bought the gray.) And I l LOVE the thoughtful design. I flew Delta Comfort, and it fit horizontally under the seat in front of me leaving me plenty of leg room. The side access was very convenient while flying, and the side carry handles made it very easy to pull it out from the seat in front of me and off of my suitcase when using the luggage pass-through. The top access pocket was perfect for my passport and wallet. It performed equally well in the city and in the rainforest. The FlexFold dividers kept everything nice and organized. I used the external carry straps to secure my jacket to the front. I also used one to secure a water bottle hanging on a carabiner from the top front loop. I have a large water bottle, and wish the side pockets had been a bit stretchier so I could have fit it in. I had the main compartment pretty full, so that may have been part of the problem. My husband it is a big guy and likes to carry backpacks low. He said the straps weren't quite long enough for his liking, but I'm sure they would be fine for most people. In between trips I plan to use the backpack to carry my mirrorless camera gear.

Thought of Everything

Finally, a backpack that I don't get lost inside of. I know where everything is. The side open pockets change everything; you can now approach your stuff from three different access point. I call it access triangulation. Never looking back.

Perfect day bag (15L)
on July 11, 2023
Posted by: shoegazedivision

I've had the 15L for over a year now and it has fit a perfect gap between my 30L and sling bags. For a day out with friends or family it's pretty perfect. Easily carries my camera kit (Fuji X-Pro with some primes), a sweatshirt, water bottle, snacks, iPad, even a coffee tumbler. It also works nicely as an airplane carry-on if you're worried about the larger bags being gate checked.
I do like the side access, but I've also found that putting lenses in the side pouches works really nicely when I want better access. I've also been amazed at how much I can carry for a long time in a backpack vs. a sling bag. The backpack hurts less after hours of walking around.
I did have an issue with a magnet in a side pouch coming loose and falling to the bottom of the fabric, but it was relatively easy to slide it back in.

Compact and roomy at the same time
on June 12, 2023

Love the structured shape which really helps maximise the space inside. Also helps to see inside clearly when accessing gear. Great quality on all the materials. Compact enough to not look like a huge backpack.

The most organised I have ever been

Not using this as a camera bag, but it has completely replaced all my other bags including my Everyday Messenger 15L. I used to just throw things in my bag and spend ages fishing them out but with everything in its own dedicated area, I've saved so much time and also my gear is much better protected. It fits my 15.6 inch laptop and my Samsung Galaxy Tab S7+ along with a tech pouch, and other everyday carry items. The bag feels more compact and lighter than my previous bag and even though its smaller, since the space is more utilised it feels like it carries more. Definitely recommend
