The heavyweight near champ
on September 20, 2026
Posted by: Guh
It’s the toughest backpack you’ll own, at a huge cost. This backpack by itself will weigh as much at your normal school back with all the items packed in. Listen, I know it’s a travel bag, but it wont always see use as such things. Traveling with this bag is actually a royal pain because of the weight, once you fill it up with a camera, laptop, cords, chargers, clothings, maybe some snacks. Dang does this get heavy. For being 23 I can manage, but it doesn’t have the same load distribution you would get on a real hiking backpack. So it’s a good carry for strong people, the those who maybe dont know their place in the backpacking world, but you’re more likely better off with something lighter, smaller, and more sustainable.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Good quality with a few drawbacks
on August 30, 2026
Posted by: PeteBethesda
I've had this for 1.5 years. Overall, I would say I like it. However, I am not a photographer, so it's not ideal for me. It's high-quality and has great organization, but it's a little heavy and it lacks a key tether. I would actually give it three and a half stars if there were half stars available. If I were a photographer, I would give it four to four and a half stars.

Exellent backpack for tavel with a carry-on

Really happy about the bag, quality and feel. It is perfectly adapted to travel with a carry-on as a personal item.
According to the use, it can be tight for 'tech' accessories but it can be complemented with a tech pouch in the bag.

I've had this bag for a few years now and it is my go to for work, travel and photography loadout. Fits everything comfortably and organizes really well. It has replaced nearly every other large backpack I own.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Great bag but I prefer it when not expansed

Great bag for travel and everyday use (to use it as a secondary bag alongside the cabin suitcase, since it fits easily under the seat).
I use it with packing cubes but the camera cubes fit only when expansed...
So I did probably a "sacrilege" and did put a camera cube from Wandrd that can fit inside without expanse the bag (25*31*10 cm - Essential plus).
Please Peak Design, go create a camera cube that can fit in the 20L travel bag without expanse it :D

I love this pack! Looks, function, features all 5 stars…the straps are lacking…the need more padding and load lifters to make this pack perfect!
I would recommend this to a friend!

I already have a bunch of PD products and this one is everything who someone like me expects, fit perfectly within the ecosystem, top materials, amazing functionality. Probably one of the last backpacks you'll buy.
