I’ll be honest, I love nearly everything about this bag (I have the 30L one. As a photographer I can use a camera cube, the large toiletry bag and still have space for 2 laptops and a lot more. My qualms is that the handle/luggage pass through is AWFUL. This bag is heavy, it has a lot of important stuff in it so having it on my roller suitcase is ideal and yet the luggage pass thought is nothing like any of their other backpacks. The other style works SO much better and I often find myself debating whether to take the everyday backpack or the travel one. Like once this bag is all loaded up if I use the luggage pass through it will literally fall off when I’m rolling through the airport.
I had been eyeing peak design bags for over a year because of all the cool unique features they all come with. Overpacking and a heavy backpack have always been my problem. I did not want to go for the 45L for the sheer bulk of it since I am 5’4”. I ended up trading off with the everyday 30l even though I am not a photographer and don’t have any cameras only because the smaller travel backpack DID NOT come with all those cool unique features present in the everyday and the bigger travel. PLEASE PLEASE make the smaller travel backpack cooler for petite people to carry and enjoy.
After 3 years of use in all conditions in the four corners of the world, I can say... this is a perfect bag. Tested by the Indonesian rain, covered by snow on the Swiss peaks, splashed in the middle of the Andaman Sea in Thailand, deposited in the burning sand of Egypt, whipped by the winds of Spain, exposed for hours to the sun of Tazmania. This bag is all-proof, it is the perfect travel companion for small and large journeys. With its adjustable size it allows you to go from one size to another in a fraction of a second. You can put all your equipement of photo for a perfect security. It is an integral part of each of my trips as much for its practicality as for its quality. Ingenious and really well thought out I recommend without hesitation to anyone who wants to invest in a quality bag for many year.
Bought this as a gift for my college student son and he absolutely loved it! It is excellent quality and has an abundance of storage options. Perfect for the traveler in your life!
Been looking to replace my old faithful travel backpack and this one is really a big upgrade especially with the design and quality of materials used. Can be put into so many storage configurations and multipurpose. Will thoroughly maximise its use during my upcoming travels
My cats will give a 10 stars review. It's perfect cat bed, they love it and sleep on it every single day. Good that I have both 45L and 30L version so I can switch out when I need one as backpack. As a backpack, it has great features and I enjoy using it while traveling. I find it a tad too heavy for this size category though and the shoulders straps are not that comfortable. I hope there will be an updated version with lighter material and improved shoulders starps, then my cats won't need to share their bed with me when I travel. Oh and this cat bed (backpack?) is fur collector (but it is not too hard to clean the fur from it).
Excellent craftmanship, very high quality. Seems sturdy. Everything is very well thought with a Nice vidéo on youtube to explain tips and features. I was afraid the 45 l would be too big but the several compressions it allows make is perfectly portable. If not overloaded, would certainly be ça in approved in all the plane companies I ever traveled with.
